Any recent reports?  Thinking of going out of Everett for the crab opener and fishing Muk to Shipwreck.

I went 0-6 on Friday.  Humbling experience, makes we want to sharpen every hook on the boat and rethink all tactics.  They were a little larger fish than I have been catching.  Of course the fish you lose is always bigger than the fish you catch.

That sucks, we lose a ton mostly due to an inexperienced crew.  I hook then handoff to the rest of the family that doesn't have much experience with larger fish.  I recently bought a new net with a telescoping handle and can scoop them way out there which certainly helps.  The barbless hooks really don't make it easy.

I made a telescoping net out of an old handle and another net I had, works great!  The problem is that it is hard to tell if a fish is one that has to be released (remember the no bringing into the boat rule if being released...  ) while it is at telescope distance and they often need to be brought in closer, then the long handle is just in the way.

I use number 5 hooks big river they are the best I have ever used..... and when I have people with a fish on especially the little coho we have now to just keep reeling set the drag tight and don't stop reeling and when they get close I have a long handle net and swoop them in seems to work great because alot of people like to stop reeling and look at the fish when it gets close to the boat and that's when they get off..just the way I do it and I don't loose many that way

#5 or 5/0?  I switched to 5/0 from 2/0 or 3/0 and it seemed to help a bit.

[pilebuck]

Sorry 5/0 big river hooks
