9/27/2010 6:22:00 PMNice fish! The area you fished has definitely seen alot of pressure lately. I fish from shore and won't even try on the weekend, it's not worth the tangled lines. Hope the fish start moving through in greater numbers, I'm ready for a Salmon dinner...

9/28/2010 4:46:00 AMYou and me both jnoetxelmann, don't think I have seen it so slow and so little caught in many years. I fish at the DB as well and also don't go on the weekends due to many lined up bodies. Almost reminds me of Steelehead fishing in that it is a real bitch to catch a coho this year, well at least it is for me and most of my fishing buddies. However, three of my buddies went up to the Stilly a few days ago. Some park on 27th, across the street from the drive-up cigarette stand. Out of the three, only one of them caught anything. He caught one trout, two Silvers, and believe it or not, a humpy. The other two guys were pissed off because he was catching them all on a 50/50 Dick Nite, the same they were using, but could not get anything. Funny how that works isn't it? Anyway, good luck with the fishing and maybe I will see you at the DB. Usually it is me and an older man named Ray and he drives an SUV and I drive a red F-150 FX4. We usually have chairs out with a fire going and sometimes a big umbrella over us.

9/28/2010 11:54:00 AMMatt, in fairness to the bankies, some of us were fishing tightlined jigs, not snagging. It does sorta look like a snag jerk, so your observations are understandable. There were a few buzz bombs being drug through there tho. As far as I know, I was the only guy who hooked up so if it was me you were referring to... I was using a 1/8 oz green jig with a size 8 single barbless hook and had him in the top of the mouth. I watched him slam my jig 5' from shore on the swing. BTW nice fish.

9/28/2010 12:35:00 PMNah, wasn't you. The hookup I saw was on drift gear, not a jig. There were a couple people (2 specifically) that I saw who were DEFINITELY snagging... or attempting to do so as I never saw them hook up. Throw the gear out.... wait 5 seconds JERK way upover the head and behind the shoulders, reel down fast, wait 5 seconds, jerk way up over the head and behind the shoulders, repeat.
