Thank you Steve, I love the info gained. I was surprised to not see trout cruising with their mouths open due to the quantity.

Nice day out on the water.
Found a bunch of sticklebacks that ended up meeting their maker…. low tide.
The usual amount of trash unfortunately.
One unfortunate incident.
Lesson learned. Don’t leave your backup rod on the garage floor and forget to put it in your rig.
I ended up clipping off the small bit of blank that extended out past the last guide.
The new stubby Sage X 692.5-4 preformed well in its modified state.

Cool shot. Has a Bobo-esque quality to it.
Good reason for chunky
Nothing today, saw some otters. Then the wind kicked up
I got a pair of these for X-mas from Dave at Emerald Anglers, they were damn well near perfect for paddling and easy to fish with, Patagonia Home Pools:
I love that second photo with the mountains and cargo ship!

Saw a report from someone who saw many resident coho around possession recently. Now if the wind would just blow them across to the east side beaches.
I stopped by there earlier today but didn’t fish. I hope you heard me honk when I drove by your place.

i just figure all honking is related to homeless people walking around like zombies
your horn might have inadvertently ordered meth from the woods
cheers
A little broody looking out there last evening, but Puget Sound always draws us in doesn’t she?
We used to catch some nice winter Blackmouth right over there. Wish it was still open.

It sounds to me like the logical next step for Blackmouth is for it to be changed into a Spring fishery when the undersized fish should be less prevalent. Which makes me wonder: Could it be a better use of state funds to attempt to reintroduce Spring run Chinook into rivers they historically were present in? I can think of many benefits: Cheaper to raise than the yearling fish used for the Blackmouth program, different spawn timings to native Fall run fish to prevent genetic mixing, the fish will grow larger than Blackmouth and refill the important role they once held as food for the SRKW as well as provide more interesting angling. With the introduction of Spring run fish, I could potentially see anglers more tolerant of Fall/Summer Chinook closures to protect wild origin fish, as the closure later in the summer is offset by new oppurtunities in the Spring.
Of course, when solutions that seem this obvious haven’t been attempted yet, there is usually a reason. Anyone have any ideas why before I suggest it at the next WDFW public comment session?
Nice day with nobody around.
Must have been due to the excellent amount of liquid sunshine.
Nothing to hand fish wise that was picture worthy.
A low tide causality.
A bunch of these on the beach with just their heads missing.
I saw a big wake near my fly and thought it might be a mondo cutt. Turned out to be an otter coming to shore to eat a sculpin it had caught.
Anyone lose any plumbing?

Slow morning. Got a limit of trash.
Wonder what got this rabbit? Looked very fresh but no visible wounds I could see.
Maybe a coyote or raptor that I interrupted?

Cat…. Then when it stopped playing the cat left.
Not PS but still saltwater.
People out kayaking on the sound today in those smaller river kayaks.
The big west wind came up and delivered some ass kicking.
Looked more dangerous than fun. At least the were wearing a PFD, which is a good thing.
