Well things got interesting Fri. Caught the evening high rise at deep area 13. Not much happening so I wandered up to a small creek mouth. Water was calm. Got a little nip on a squimp. Next cast, bam a solid hookup. A little heft in this one. A nice resi-silver. Bigger than expected for this time of year, 18 inches. Caught 3 others in succession. None of them were clipped. Damn, so much for the bbq. Three hours fishing, 20 minutes of action.

I've been wondering about fishing the mouth of a creek in the salt.. at what point are you still within the regs if said creek is closed to fishing?

Don't forget the Flex Seal for insurance!

Nasty day to be out in MA 10.

Nasty over in the Columbia Basin today; blowing tumbleweeds are one thing but dust in wind from all the freshly plowed and disced fields can make driving a bit of chore.

That hit us hard in Sumner. Even had hailstones in a few spots. Tore up a lot of smaller vegetation and limbs too.
Windy SOB out there today.

Where is it that folks are hanging padlocks off the fencing? I don't think that's Pont Neuf. ;-) I see that Snoqualmie Pass is closed....
A windy, cold one yesterday …
Took the Lund out yesterday evening. Was kind of a spur of the moment escape. Didn't quite dress for the cool damp. Found a couple dinks. Said Hi to Sammy Seal and watched a few Bald Eagles flying over me. Got some maintenance work to do on the Yamaha, the latch that holds the motor up doesn't latch.
Much windier than forecast today. Still a nice Easter Sunday out on the water.
Started fishing at 5:30 and calked it a day at 9:30.
Had a interesting experience today.
Was fishing the top half of a nice seam. A guy shows up with his dog and starts tossing a retrieve stick in at the bottom of the seam, which pissed me off as I had just missed a fish.
He continues tossing the stick as he walks towards me.
As he gets just a few feet below me, he tosses the stick which lands on my line while I’m stripping in. I soon have a black lab swimming circles directly below me. I say WTF dude and he says “my apologies, I didn’t see you”.
I have no idea how he couldn’t have seen me since I was casting and stripping the whole time he was walking towards me.
That pretty much killed that water so I headed to one of my favorite glass beaches to look for glass and put some miles in my human odometer.
Found some nice glass. A picture just for @Wadin' Boot
I have not seen the swimmer in a few trips now. I’m hoping the transient orcas didn’t have her as a Scooby snack.

No dogs at any of beaches I hit yesterday, but I did get low-holed something fierce a couple of times by a local otter. One of the times he came barreling down the beach, jumped in and popped up about a rod and half length in front of me. If you can't beat em, join 'em I guess.
