Treat of the day was when we we...

It was a little tougher today than the past few times out - we actually didn't limit for a change! We put in at the usual time (before the rest of you get there) and motored out to our spot and dropp...

Another great day of fishing! We motored out at 5am, set up and had our lines in the water at the bell. We trolled for about 30 minutes before we had our first fish, using the battery powered flashi...

We brought a buddy along and between the 3 of us we got 4 fish. They all kind of came at once around 8:30, but we trudged on until noon without any further success.
Gloom of the day was hooking a sea...

We had a couple friends join us today. We launched from Shilshole pre-dawn and started right when the bell tolled. A few marking but little action until about 7:30. First hook up was a double - bot...

We fished off Shileshole Marina again - It's going off right now and it looks like everybody is catching their limit, even folks mooching and trolling w/out downriggers (using divers).
We went out...

It started off super slow - no bites, nothing on the fish finder. Lots of folks out and we were in the middle of the line when the pole took a big dive, then the 2nd pole took a big dive. At first w...

First time at the Redondo boat launch - it was interesting to say the least - a very narrow ramp for 2 boats. Fortunately it wasn't packed this morning, but still tricky for our first time there. We...

It was an action packed morning for sure! I wanted to start off talking about the day before (Thurs) - which was the last day of kings in area 10. We tried all morning and only got weenies under 22...

Every Dog has his day, but sadly it wasn't my day! :(
It was uber-packed combat fishing and about 15-20 pulled out throughout the morning. I had one hit, but didn't set the hook in time.

Weird day - they were SUPER active at sunrise down at the riffle, but not many biting. They were literally all around every boat, but I only saw a couple pulled in. I hooked 2 on a pink/white Dick Nit...

We got there early - motored down to the riffle and saw the schools coming up. We went back upstream just south of the Hwy 9 bridge and got our limit in just over an hour.

We hit the water pre-sunrise and were fishing off the oil docks as the sun came up. We hooked a nice 5-7 lb. Chinook right off the bat, but it was a native, so we put him back. Hooked several very ...

This is an addendum to the Bitter Lake submission. It's a hard luck fish story for sure. I'm adding it to the Snohomish River since that's where I catch the majority of my fish.
A lot of you that...

Squid are coming through really good right now and I gave it a try for the first time in my life. I caught a few and had a great time. It's pretty different from fishing as there is no fight and not...
