Wifey reeled in a nice king Sunday night.

I always look forward to the E Bay Seafair weekend opener, crowds and all. Where else in the world can you catch salmon under the downtown skyline???

2/3 in about 45mins of fishing this morning. Lots of bait pushing through with tons of Coho slashing through it, lots of fun! Both cookie cutter 3-4lb rezzies.

Stomach contents of the top fish

Put in a short session before work and went 2-6. It was slow super early, then a bunch of wild fish came through driving a lot of action for 20-30 minutes with nearly everything caught, including one from me, going back in the water. Then it went dead again and about 10 minutes before I needed to leave, it ramped back up. Fun way to spend a couple hours before the daily grind.

Had to play keep away with a pesky seal to land this guy. The old “seals on my fish” dance up the beach...

we used to do that on the willamette during the spring salmon run.

Nice morning out there but too sunny. The catching was decent for quite a few people. I biffed the two good coho I hooked but got one of these.

Right fish wrong time.

2/2 this morning, one smaller wild and a fat rezzie brought to hand. I felt the weight of about 3-4 solid fish before they let go (might of done better with the standard clouser today and not the stinger), and had a few more very solid bites. Tons of herring around, schools of them were moving up and down the beach for almost the entire 3-4 hours I was fishing.

I think we were neighbors today - if you’re the guy my first fish swam toward before it spit the hook. Glad you got one to the beach! The seals made it interesting.

I was in that area of the beach for sure. Thankfully the seal left before I landed my two fish, that thing is not afraid of people at all

I gave a seal a back flipper piercing on that beach Wednesday. Maybe he’s out for blood from any fly fisherman he comes across now. Be safe out there !

0 for 1 for me today. I whiffed my shot at the rod tip.
Speaking of whiffed, I had the pleasure of fishing downwind from High Karate or Aramis man today. The swimmer has nothing on this guy when it comes to fragrances. He either used the whole bottle or bathed in it.

Try fishing down wind from an honest to god quilbilly...it could gag a maggot...for real...I got stories.


The river is closed this year, so the shitshow will be at the mouth in the bay instead.
They could fund a decade of Skagit monitoring writing tickets down there, in just a week or two.
