    Open Seat Saturday 8/5

    Planning to launch from Salsbury County Park next to the Hood Canal bridge early. Probably spend some time looking for coho in the morning but eventually plan to go look for numbers of pinks to play with. My buddy had something come up so I have an open seat if anyone wants to join. Plan to...

    Last minute open seat tomorrow 7/7

    An interesting report from Ira today has me thinking of heading out in area 10 tomorrow to see what the coho are up to. Haven't had my boat out in a while and need to run her around anyway. I will go solo either way, but if anyone wants to go I'll have an open seat. Plan to launch out of...

    FS A couple of reels and some lines

    Few things up for grabs here. Orvis Hydros SL IV reel. I just don't use 8 wts much these days and this one has just sat around for far too long. Fished this maybe two or three times for chum. Reel is dang near brand new and comes spooled with an 8 wt floater that is just as new. For the...

    Orvis Hydros III and Line

    Going through tons of stuff that I'm just not using anymore and trying to get organized. No doubt I'll have some more things coming soon. First up is an Orvis Hydros SL reel spooled with an Airflo 40+ INT line. This reel has been used plenty and shows it, but it's still functionally perfect...

    Little Update

    Hey all, haven't been around the forum in quite a while. Life has kinda hit me in the gut the last few months and I've been kinda laying low, but been thinking a lot about this place and thought I'd hop on and give a little update on what I've been dealing with. Its a bit of a long story but...

    Fun July for this dirtbag

    Since salmon opened up on the 2nd I've been awfully busy out here and my God has the fishing been good. It seems like the whole ocean is just full of salmon. Already seeing big numbers of coho, and the best is yet to come. Chinook fishing is better than I've ever seen it. Like absolutely...

    Cool Dirt Bag Catch Today

    Been super busy lately but wanted to share this unique catch. Caught this tiger rockfish today while fishing offshore for lingcod. I looked up the state record and while we didn't weigh this one it couldn't have been far off. I haven't put too many tigers to the boat out here. This was by...

    FS Shimano Gear Reels

    Going through and cleaning out some unused gear. Figured I'd throw these up here before listing them elsewhere. I thought I had the boxes and paperwork with these but as of right now been unable to locate. Shimano Tekota 300LC level wind reel. Very nice condition. Very lightly used. Smooth...

    Puget Sound Indicator Fishing for Sea Run Cutthroat is HEATING up

    You'll never guess who I had on the boat today. Pretty good fishing today. Had planned to explore a new area but heavy fog finally made us abandon that plan. Hard to explore when you can't see 50'. Once the fog burned off it was a beauty of a day and fishing was quite good at times...

    Open Seat Wed 2/2

    It's been a brutal winter. I haven't been able to fish much. Hell, I haven't been outdoors much lately. Things are finally starting to settle down and I am in desperate need of some time on the water. Weather looks good for Wed, so I'm going fishing. Not gonna be warm, and looks like there...

    Albacore flies

    I know there's already a thread in the tying section, but I wanted to transfer some of my content over here and figured it may be less confusing to just start a new thread. This is all copied from where I've posted it elsewhere on the internet With the big increase in fly fishing for...

    MA11 Report

    May as well kick this off with a report I fished MA11 on Tuesday with @ffb on his sweet 15' Tiderunner center console. IMO the coolest 15' boat cruising the sound right now. Was my first time on the water in six weeks, and it was such a beautiful day to get back out there. Fishing was...
