Hit a local hole in Tukwilla/Kent before school with a cousin visiting from Cali. A lot more fish activity, due to the over cast skies and cool temp. Used what I've been nailing them on the last few days, which was a 50/50 Spoon. We hooked up cast after cast with a lot brighter fish than the last few days. A new pod of fish must have pushed up, because these were chrome with some still dropping scales. Highlight of the morning was when a bright 8lb hen ripped the rod out of my cousins hand as it hit. She was fortunate enough to recover the rod and land the fish. Left around 10AM with limits of Hens.

I'm not too seasoned myself, as I only started targeting salmon in '09. My approach as of late has been fishing a #1 50/50 Dick Nite with a 6ft leader, attached to a sliding weight drift fishing rig. Cast up stream a little, and let it sink a little bit. Then reel in as slow as possible. A lot of bites come during or after your rig passes your 12 o' clock. With the nets in, I'd try further up around the Kent area. Do some walking, and you'll be able to find some honey holes away from the crowds.

This video can give you an idea of the rig. Skip to 6:30

Ooohhh... I wanted to hit the green too. I was taking a couple of seniors fishing today, but one was in a wheelchair and I couldn't find a wheelchair friendly section. Took them bass fishing as a result, but I really had hoped to find a spot to show them the joy of landing a salmon or two. Nice job btw.
