willapa bay report

[Mfowl]

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.

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.

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.

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]

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

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.
