It was a good hunt......I've only fished the derby a few years on and off....not sure how often the big one has come from the river but the guessing man in me says at least half the years. One year it was brute hooknose that was caught under the I5 bridge....on a dick nite.
You didn't happen to be in a blind with Eva and Barbour were you?
I will be out there. Good luck getting a spot, that sucks when you get bumped. My boat will more than likely be full the rest of the season. It's amazing how many friends you get when you have a boat!
Couple things............there is no bromance......even if it was lovely seeing Drock yesterday evening when he stopped by and dropped off my arrow case.Next....no elk for me this year. You can see a little blurb of a recap in one of the threads about being ready in the elk section.Lastly..........I would not discount fishing the river for the derby. In the years past the big males that take the top prizes often come from the Snohomish....You just never know.

Nah...my ears weren't burning...I just spend way to much time on here......The crowds can be pretty crazy for the derby but it is such a different crowd than your typicall humpy run morning that it flows fairly well. When I've fished I've put in the day before, docked it, and slept on the boat both nights. Much easier that way.Were your ears burning or did someone page you? I text you last time i was across the street to razz you about your boat and crab pots but i got nothing back I'm definitely not discounting the snohomish river for silvers in the least. But my past experiences with the launches during the derby have made me really hesitate going that route, but it's my backup plan.I'm just waiting for a pm inbound from someone here offering me a spot. You can attest i'm not a bad boat fishing partner, at least that's what you said after our kokanee trip.
Dang, first year with the new boat in the marina up there and I decide to go to Winthrop with the wife this weekend. Oh well, will get some scouting time in anyway. Been fishing waaaaayyyyyy too much anyway. Lots of silvers in the salt yet as of last Saturday. Make darned sure you have some herring with you this weekend. We outfished every boat around us.
