Not bad for my 1st day out ...Fall kings ...lAST UP DATE TODAY !!!!!

[BOWHUNTER45]

Hahaha I do  not know what your lookin at but I do use eggs ...BLOOD - MAybe a seal bite -maybe a net mark  As far as the fishery It has always been the way it is for as long as I have been going out there but it has definately gotten worse thanks to no one having places to go  and if you think you can SNAG ONE USING A BOBBER GOOD LUCK TO YA .... Your more than welcome to join me ...Like ya said I am sure most of the fish in there have been hooked a few times and its a matter of who lands them ....Sounds like the warden who popped up behind me last week ... Maybe they are hiring  Just saying ...thats all !

[BOWHUNTER45]

Nice hook mark in the side of the top one   must have been the guy before you

How do you get the muddy taste out of those kings? I've tried everything from pickling to smoking nothing seems to hide the distinct flavor of the samish bay,lol.

They make all these stupid rules and if you do not find a way to get around it you get sheet .... :chuckle:its all techinque like anything !

Those stupid rules are mainly in place to help keep the masses at bay but it's not working    It's ridiculous what has happened to that river the last few years. I try to keep a good memory of what that fishery was like 20 yrs ago by not participating anymore
[/quote] AS far as the mud issue you first jerk out the gills while it is still kickin ...thats gets all the blood out  :dunno:Second You only fish when they first come in and have sea lice on them and third you take the skin off of them if you are going to eat them ...Now they are fit to eat  thats how I do it !

Well shoot if thats the case I would zip over to the nearest lotto dealer and buy a ticket!

Just givin ya sheet BH45! Nice fish But seriously I've caught em dime bright with sea lice, bled em, threw them on ice etc. and they still had a muddy flavor. Spoiled I guess from Alaska and Fraser kings

I do gotta say tho never could figure why so many rules on a meat fishery. Fishers should be able to get their two fish(how ever?) leave and make room for the next person.
 One question? did your bobber go down when they hit your worm?   

[BOWHUNTER45]

No big deal ...You know I am a little touchy  I do not care as long as I have something tugging on the end of the line ...they fight like hell and to witness all the MADNESS MAKES ME LAUGH and I am sure today will be crazier than yesterday ...but I just have to go  plus I only go the 1st week when they are 1 st coming in and then I go know where near the place ...

[go4itlab]

Hey, BH45 are they still charging people to access the dike? I haven't been down there to check.

[BOWHUNTER45]

Last I heard they got shut down ...which they should ..that was BS ...but I do not know if you can access from there or not ! I will try and find out . It has already become a freakin zoo  I actually got peesed today and left 

[go4itlab]

Yah I remember it getting pretty chaotic in there. I haven't fished it for for a few years now. We used to access it just up from the barn, get in there real early and hold your ground. Nice thing was most of the time it would be the same 10 guys in line that new what they were doing and then you just have to worry about the idiots above and bellow you.

[BOWHUNTER45]

IF YOUR HEADED TO THE SAMISH MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BOBBER AND THROW BACK ALL FOWLED FISH ,,,,, YEP THEY WHERE OUT IN FORCE TODAY  NO I did not get ticketed but they tried and even read me my rights  after going round and round for an hour over how they want us to use a bobber I was let alone but 5 others not so lucky ...Think they took 2 pools and a couple fish and gave  tickets ..  anyway the bobber has to be tied to the line and can not slide up and down the string ....I had a corky with a tooth pick in it so I could adjust the depth but they still insisted my bait was not suspended off the bottom  Whatever ....no matter what you do it still is not right  even took a guys fly rod and his fish because one was fowled hook ....A FLY FISHERMEN  I LOVE BEING OUTDOORS 

[HUNTINCOUPLE]

Thanks for the inetel!!! I will be sure not to fish there. Id go to fish jail for sure.

[Kowsrule30]

This is whay I don't even bother any more river fishing for salmon....  Can't even hook a fish without doing it wrong....  My buddy keeps calling me wanting to go to the Skok.... Not a chance.....
