Probably lol, but I do wonder if his "20lbers" were upper teens fish, which are also hard to find nowadays

Coworker who couldn't have been older than 40 who I worked with on Steelhead traps a while back was telling me how as a kid he would fish outside Gorst Creek and throw back anything smaller than 20lbs

Why is it that the majority of Chinook I have caught in Puget Sound and see posted are so much smaller than the fish we see caught in the ocean marine areas? I just got back from Tofino, where anything under 28" is considered small (Not illegal, their minimum size is crazy small 18"), and...

What a wonderful coincidence I saw this thread when I logged in, because I did my first blue lining trip of the summer. Before heading down to the river a couple in a camper van pulled by and told us they’d caught a nice 20 inches with a Chubby Chernobyl, I was quite excited to get down to the...

Redoing my wardrobe, including my "outdoor gear" which as of now is just my less stylish and older jeans/thick cotton pants that I don't mind getting dirty. I have a couple sets of nice things, including a Kuhl fleece that manages to keep me the perfect temperature at all times that tells me I...

I would argue fly fishing carp is more dirtbag than gear fishing

I have a confession: 70% of my fishing is dirtbag. Even with my endless fly boxes, fly tying vice on my desk, and constantly reading up on fly techniques, I just end up doing more gear fishing because I have the confidence it will get the tug going. Even so, this forum is my main source of...

Went out with the girlfriend and the parents- Hooked one resi, not much bigger than the ones I was catching in June. Enjoyed the beautiful weather, breeze, and sunset. Saw at least two pinks jumping in Area 10

Weather permitting hoping to take our boat to Neah Bay for the first time August 9th. Debating between braving the slot between Tatoosh and Jones Rock for Chinook or just staying close and playing with the coho. It sounds extremely fun and like a good place to bring the 8 wt fly rod

Spinners in the ocean is interesting!

Gibraltar Sky is the name of our boat haha. I'll pick up some spray on stuff that sounds a lot easier

Planning on doing the 100 hour service on our twin Yamaha F150s myself. Labor prices at Yamaha dealers are very high. My maintenance expertise amounts to one oil change on my car, but I figure I have to start somewhere. Watching all of the (Very good quality) Youtube videos on this topic before...

Going to give Gibraltar Sky a wax. Curious as to the steps. With cars it is suggested to swap out pads every panel or two panels, what is the equivalent for a boat? As for prep, do I need to do a full wash and dry? She is 31'5" LOA and it is very labor intensive to do so, but it may be a...

King fishing is going to be a repeat of last years circus it looks like, fishing next to 100-400 other boats is really not that fun, and I wouldn't be surprised if it eats quota faster not slower.

Gorgeous baitball fleeing hungry harbor porpoises

That makes me feel better haha, we had one takedown but it got out as I tried to get it off the downrigger ball

Is that @jasmillo and @Kfish ?

Hit the tulalip bubble following last weeks optimistic creel reports, only good thing to report about today was the relative lack of crowding. Only 100 of my closest friends instead of 300. Saw one nice one landed and 3 lost. Hooked a chubby 14" blackmouth though

This is a great thread. When starting fishing rivers learning to read water was super intimidating to me and something like this would have helped me greatly. I still suck at reading all but the most obvious water, but if I can read a run with some confidence I'll contribute here

Maybe purchase an anti "you know who" bumper sticker just to be safe. Be sure to take it off before heading to Forks or the East side though!
