Two of my brothers stopped by Willapa Bay on the way home from Buoy 10 today and spoke with a couple different guys taking their boats out at the ramp. Both said it was slow overall but one of them did get a 20lb king. Good luck! Have fun!

Gillnetters were done the other day and it's starting to pick up again. Washaway has been a little nasty getting out there but they're getting some nice ones out there. We got a couple on this evenings flood just before the high out between #2 and #8 but closer to 2. Been foggy in the mornings too.

Gillnetters landed roughly 3,300. I'm sure that will make fishing a bit slower.

There were only a couple of trailers at the South Bend Ramp on Sunday. I hear that it is not worth the trip yet. Give it a couple more weeks.

I'll be heading out this weekend. Coming from Spokane so good or not I am getting on the water.

Some friends had limits of silvers down by washaway in the lower bay yesterday.

that's encouraging to hear, if they kings don't show up in the lower nisqually soon i may have to make a trip to do the spinner trolling thing up around wilson creek in the next few weeks.

Went by S. Bend this morning and the launch parking lot was almost full.

There's fish being caught.

I'm down here at the RV park in Tokeland for the whole month fishing so you can pm me if ya want. The silvers are in the bay now. I don't know how far up river they are but we're getting them between #2 & #8 right now and kings as well. I didn't fish today but will be out there in the morning.

We caught 2 kings first thing in the morning between #2 & #8 then went out towards Washaway to #11 and picked up 4 silvers, 3 were 11lbs.. Lottsa fish being caught now. Getting ready to go hit it again.

Good luck. I'm in a 17' Arima Sea Pacer (open bow).

Mfowl · « **Reply #14 on:** August 22, 2014, 11:54:25 AM »

Good luck out there all! I'll be launching out of South Bend in a white Wooldrige with 2 other guys and a yellow dog. Give a wave if you see me.

Mfowl · « **Reply #15 on:** August 23, 2014, 07:12:02 PM »

Thanks for the info Encore. You strolled by to say hi just at the right time!

We had a fun day. We only kept 1 king (18lbs) and 1 silver (8lbs) but we had our chances. We released 1 wild king and lost a couple others and had 5-6 takedowns that didn't stick. My buddies I was with don't fish too much so they were pleased just to be out and get some action. Good luck out there for the rest of the season! I hope to make it back out before too long.

Encore 280 · « **Reply #16 on:** August 23, 2014, 08:18:54 PM »

Yeah I showed up just in time!

We couldn't get a bump in the bay so we went to Washaway and my wife ended up with 2 kings and a silver. I had one to the boat but that's all the closer it got and had a few more take downs and that was it for me. That's the way it goes I guess. Glad you were able to put a couple in the boat! We're here for another week so maybe my luck will change.

YoterHunter · « **Reply #18 on:** September 01, 2014, 06:21:06 PM »

This is Saterdays limit offpf washsaway only picked up. 3 Sunday up there to ruff

Encore 280 · « **Reply #19 on:** September 01, 2014, 06:32:04 PM »

Just got back home today after being down there all month. The fishing is pretty darn good right now at Washaway and the bay. Last week my brother and I limited on silvers at Waw. in 45 minutes and they were in really shallow, 9ft and even picked one up in 6ft!

Took my wife out the next day and did the same thing. Couldn't pull any kings out of the shallows though. In the bay between #2 and #8 is good and between 8 and 10. Still lottsa fish down there. Wish I coulda stayed a couple more weeks but needed to get home and mow lawns and do a pile of laundry and pay bills.

Gawd I miss fishing..... Nice haul

Encore 280 · « **Reply #21 on:** September 01, 2014, 07:23:50 PM »

Here's a couple of our days catches.

wow nice

wheels · « **Reply #23 on:** September 09, 2014, 12:30:53 PM »

went out Friday got 3 silvers worked hard nothing till 2 or so we went out by what i think was wash away and saw a large yellow buoy any idea what it is or for it was close to a sand bar

YoterHunter · « **Reply #24 on:** September 09, 2014, 04:37:22 PM »

It's the channel marker and the marker for the harbor tothe ocean boundary from the marker to the point off of washsaway

Encore 280 · « **Reply #25 on:** September 09, 2014, 06:50:47 PM »

It can get nasty out by the buoy. Most of the guys will go up by the house with green roof. I usually stay between there and the rusty roof building just a little bit south of there. We were getting silvers in 6ft of water between the two buildings last month a couple times on calm days of course.

TheHunt · « **Reply #26 on:** September 09, 2014, 07:26:49 PM »

That is fantastic, Nice job

wheels · « **Reply #27 on:** September 10, 2014, 03:27:07 PM »

you are right about it being nasty out there hard current one spot was really sloppy

Soady · « **Reply #28 on:** September 16, 2014, 11:12:59 PM »

All I can say is you guys and gals are killing it in the Bay and WashaWay good job. Love the pics of the canned salmon. Keep up the good work!
