We cancelled. I was looking for shorts and flip flops fishing which is usually automatic this time of year. It hurt to see those counts and I can’t get up there until next week. I do think it was the right call, 30 mph gusts is no fun even if one stayed inside.

It’s an odd situation given that he releases fish even when you can retain them. That’s some good eats thrown back there.

That Pram guy has been consistently deadly for years. I actually rigged up to bank fish that area for Steelhead last week and only then did I check the regs. I’ll be up there this afternoon.

3/8 yesterday. Some gear failure, an error by me and some just popped off. All unclipped and had to go back healthy. My souls was filled and I will kill them up higher.

What exactly are you asking? If you want the highest odds of catching a salmon then get a guide. However, he doesn’t do boats. So you want to fish the sound from the bank? Fish a river? Will he adjust his vacation time to better align with runs? Since this is the dirtbag forum, we aren’t here...

A friend of mine kept referring to it as the best small boat fishery in the NW and when I finally went I saw why. Even saw a fold up car topper boat get one. I keep meaning to rent a boat there as well, I even saw some with rod holders. I had a different report of a dock hook up as well, so...

Holy crap, First strike is actually what I meant! Glad we got this all cleared up and I had the same issue. Us dirtbags, I tell ya.

7’9” Okuma GSP. I can be a gear snob, but you don’t need anything expensive for this technique and I am hard on gear. I do have it paired with a Stradic so go figure:)

Just go here. Local guy, will chat in email or phone, you can even go visit him at times. If he doesn’t have it, it’s not worth having. https://www.randblures.com/ Also, Tackle Time in Warrenton makes fantastic Jetty bombs built for that area.

All of our fish were away from other boats. Usual asshats running up or down in the herd but we were observers. Where a hat, not a visor! I am paying the price for that mistake today.

Had to start the day in rain gear, it was awesome!

Lots of interesting ideas and tidbits in the replies. Some things to process for a bit, ruminate, if I may. I am very good at twitching for salmon, all seasons. It was not a cheap technique to learn and it helped that I had someone work a bit with me. So this is a twitching purists view, not an...

That changes today, Hammond lot was packed at 9:00 am. We purposefully started late and headed out to the firing line. Was consistent all day, bites on every pass. Only had to release one and a very large Coho was bonked as well. The hoard was all by Hammond as well, it looked like old times...

But would the fly guys touch the coho if they were clipped? Wouldn’t that kinda make ‘em get all nauseous?

I’m one of them
