I fished from shore today around the city of Snohomish. Tried Thomas Eddy for a couple of hours and didn't get any bumps. Zero. Zilch. Nada. The only other fisherman there was also getting skunked...

Coho aren't biting and it doesn't look like they are moving around much either. We need another good rain to spark some activity.
I fished the spot off River Road in Snohomish and it was totally p...

Coho just aren't biting in the Skykomish. I managed to catch a 10lb buck but had to let him go because he wasn't hooked in the mouth. I *really* wanted to keep that fish.
Caught my biggest humpy of...

I headed out to my favorite humpy spot hoping to hook a few silvers too. No luck on coho but the humpies are still thick and VERY easy to catch. Some colors worked better than others but overall, th...

I fished Bob Heirman park yesterday afternoon. It was slow and snaggy. Lost all my good jigs and only caught one giant humpy. Next time I go to an unfamiliar spot, I'll use el-cheapo hooks. These ...

It was a good day on the river if you don't mind catching a TON of humpies. The fish I caught actually looked better but most of them didn't fight much. Reminded me of carp fishing. Probably caught...

The weather was extra freaky this afternoon and I thought the fish might dig it. Wow, was I right! Not sure how many humpies I caught but my arms are tired. They definitely prefer lures that are sh...

Fishing was tough today -- and having "technical difficulties" with the trolling motor didn't help at all. I tried several colors of 5" Yamamoto super grubs, a couple of small jointed crankbaits, and...

It looked like a good day for fishing so I hit Stevens after work. Launched around 7 and fished until dark (10-ish). For some reason, the bass just weren't biting. I hit three of my favorite spots ...

I decided to brave the wind w/occasional drizzle and hit Cassidy. Glad I did! There was only one other boat on the water and the bass were active. I ended up catching close to 10 (lost count) large...

Launched around 7 am and fished about 5 hours. The bite was slow at first but it picked up big-time around 10:00. Fortunately it was cloudy and cool, which kept most of the ski boats off the water. ...

Launched the dinghy around 7 am and fished until 11:00. I could see trout hitting topwater, so I threw on a homemade wedding ring and did a little trolling just to warm up. After catching & releasin...

Make a note: when fishing Lake Stevens, GET THERE EARLY AND LEAVE BEFORE 10:00 AM. I was running super late today and didn't launch the dinghy until 10:00AM. There were already a shload of ski boat...

I didn't get to the lake until 5:00 pm. For the first hour I decided to hunt for bass. I marked a few fish between 12 and 18 feet, but could not get them to bite a 4 inch swimbait or soft plastic tu...

Launched @ 4:00 pm and fished until 8:00. Have I ever mentioned that I really hate ski boats? I'm not a big fan of rap music either. The combination of the two was excruciating!
