Long rod is definitely not the answer.  Long net doesn't work either as it is impossible to maneuver with one arm.

All I know is to not horse them in and whatever you do don't pull their head out of the water.  If all goes well they roll on their side right as the net goes under them.  I'm still waiting for that to happen though.

Chinook have the nasty tendency to take a major rip when they see the net and they somehow know to go for the kicker, around the boat, downrigger ball or around anything else they can find.  If I remember, I always loosen my drag when they get close to the boat and use 40 pound leader.

As I get older I'm getting better at embracing the fact that barbless hooks and solo missions will mean way more fish lost than I care to think about.  It's all part of the game.

Got one off of Possession and one off of Useless.  Good day, sorry no pics.  A couple  of bonus humpies too off of Bush Point.

I was curious about this. I have a buddy that wants to hit the beach for some humpies and I'm waiting for good reports.

Who's out that can give me a report on wind and water conditions?

7mm,

An old guy at Harbor Marine told me he got one fly fishing right off Bush Point last week from the beach.  Might be a good place to start.

Edmonds marina cam is usually helpful.

I didn’t make it out today, but heard it was slower. Maybe the weather and drop in the barometer?  Who knows. I’ll be back out tomorrow to give it a roll.

good day, but not for that guy.  He said they had been out all day and came into the launch to load up and the boat sank. Two new Suzuki's DONE.  Pt no pt chinook and we did two limits of crab off south Whidbey Island.

Coast Guard had a boat capsized by Camano with 8 in the water this afternoon.

Anyone go out today?

[h20hunter]

Released two wild....one small one about 15 is my guess.  Came in at two pm...fish lady had 21 fish for 72 boats.

Pretty slow today.   My kid and I got one early at Jeff Head, but that was it.  Fished Jeff Head until about 8am, and then the east side of MA10 until about 10am...lots of grass everywhere today.

Sorry to hear that but its not unexpected.  Maybe it's time to switch over to pinks.

was out for a few hours with my wife this morning...lost a good one at the boat (my fault not hers) and released a 15ish native.
you are right thought. felt like id pick up gear and move, start a troll. and be right in the middle of grass.
oh well, i had a good day, both fish i got to the boat fought like hell and were a riot
