Whole herring

[snocohunter]

We use them whole and strips cured with salt to keep them from falling apart so fast. Both will work in different situations. Strips are quick and easy to use also.

Quick question on the whole herring - how do you rig them?  Just nose hook them behind a hootchie or streamer, I'm guessing? Maybe a helmet?

The real question is what prize will be offered up for the Hunt Wa member highest on the final leader board for the tourney?  I'll offer an introduction to Barbour Outfitters (he he)...

Anyone up for a little fun side competition?

google it, couple ways to do it on youtube. i've always hooked them through the nose, and then in the side. some guys do 2 hooks in the side and a toothpick for the bend. Others can add their thoughts, i'm no herring pro.

On our way out now. Beat the rush at the launch. What a difference a half hour makes. I'm in for the competition. Maybe we can rendezvous after the awards tomorrow so you can all drool over my big check or maybe my new boat. Guess we'll see. Good luck and stay safe everyone.

I'm out did not even leave the dock the boat we were using broke at the dock pulled out went to breakfast now home if there was a thumbs down icon I would use it!

Fishing was slow today. We hit 2 early then 1 more later on around 8am. 4, 6 and 7 pounds. I hope the weather isn't as bad tomorrow as predicted. I know today was way nicer than the forecast. Good luck to all the fishers tomorrow.

[snocohunter]

Fishing was hot for me this morning. I went 5 for 6 today and the boat went 6 for 8. The uv purple haze hoochie and ace hi fly insert with a strip of herring kept getting lit up. Starting at 85 feet and down as deep as 140. We kept the first fish, and released 3 in the 5-7 lb range once we had 2 that were in the 9-10 lb range. The bigger fish absolutely crushed the squid and hooks were buried in the mouth and around the nose on the one. No way he was coming off, thankful for heavy leader. Things really slowed down after about 1030 for us. Biggest fish was mine at 8.93 by the time we got him weighed. Leader board showed 14.07 in 1st place when I looked. With the high wind forecast tomorrow we are playing it safe and heading for the snohomish. Fishing with a different buddy who got skunked today since he has an empty boat for tomorrow.

[Ripper]

We got 2 today fishing North of Mukilteo. It was way to rough and windy to fish Possession today. There were some brave souls out there, but after about 15 minutes we went back to the area around the Boeing dock. Our fish went 7.65 and 7.28. Looks like I owe snocohunter a 5 spot. PM me your address and I'll drop it in the mail.

[snocohunter]

Keep the $5, and maybe take me fishing with you one of these days and we will call it good. I was about five people away from the last of the grab bag prizes. Got a fillet knife and some other junk. Not a bad weekend I guess.

Did 14.07lbs hold up?
