Humpy fishing in the Mighty Skagit River SUCKS!
« on: August 02, 2011, 04:01:22 PM »
Two Days out fishing for 6 hours....first day with 3 people in the boat; today 2 people and we Only caught 5 limits of fish with about that many limits of lost fish!  >:( :bash: ;) :) :D  :IBCOOL:

The fish are hugging the bank! :) They are absolutely Hammering Brass and pink tipped Miracle Lures! :) All are absolutely Chrome Bright and still have Sea Lice on them! Talk about WILD and Strong little buggers! :) All the ones we have caught so far are weighing in at 5 pounds 6 ounces to 6 pounds with only one small one that weighed 3 pounds. :)

I have to go out and slave away again at fishing tomorrow with my wife, then Thursday and Friday back out with my adopted daughter and her hubby. :( ;) :) The on Saturday I have to go out with a friend of mine and his wife. :( ;) :) Finally, to end the week out I have to fish with my wife again! :(

I tell you, Retired Life absolutely Sucks! :( It's darned hard work bringing in all those fish! :( ;) :) I'm going to have to buy another punch card pretty soon if this keeps up! :)

Thanks guys! :) I'm fishing the stretch of the river at the Gardner Road boat launch. :) The bankies at the soccer fieds in Burlington near the Skagit River Steel shop were catching almost as many as we were in the boat. :) The trick is to stay in within 10 feet of the bank. :) That's where the fish are running due to the river being so high and swift.

Any sightings off Young's bar?

Is the gas station on I-5, at the Lk. Mcmurray exit selling sandshrimp?

Is there a camp ground type area near young's bar?. my son is out-a-town so I will be homeless.

Thanks for any info.

Don't be afraid to try diver and bit with a spin-n-glow and prawn.  Works great.

O.k Guess there was some misunderstanding on the limits for the SKAGIT ... You can have 3 silvers and 1 humpy or 4 humpies but NO MORE THAN 3 SILVERS.... But the limit is 4 salmon...get all that  :chuckle: throw back kings & dogs....
