Cant blame ya

[FC]

We got 4 today from Edmonds south, I was unwilling to join the Armada around Mukilteo. Dunno what the deal was today but we lost a ton, most of them would start yanking on the gear just short of hard enough to pull it out of the release so you would pop it for them and they would come off.

Yeah but I had a good time, thank again F! That blue glo on the water in the early am darkness was sooo freaking cool! Yeah and I swear we lost 10 of those little bastages! I think I lost at least 4 same as you, not even counting the one I knocked off with the net! DOH!        
 
I left work early yesterday to take the kids out to Lake Stevens and pull them on the tube but the weather got bad so we changed our mind and me & the twins went to the river. Pretty slow out there really - saw a couple onesies, twosies here & there but definitely not real hot out there yet for sure. I launched at Lowell and then ran down to the 1st bridge there, what Hwy 2, looking for fish and couldnt find them. Finally worked my way up to Snohomish and there was a guy just leaving a hole right across from the Pilchuck that had 4 nice ones and he showed me right where he was - nice guy there for sure! So we anchor in 3 feet of water - no BS 3 feet - and soon after start hooking fish. All around that area it is really shallow and we had 2 rods plunkin 3 feet deep and I was tossing a jig into the 'channel' where it was 6-7 feet deep. Got 3 on the bait setups and 2 on the jigs - lost all but one.    Even on barbed hooks! The one we got was on a spin n glo with yarn and shimp tail and 1/0 sickle style hook - right in the corner of the mouth - it wasnt coming out. Nice little 3-4# bright hen with sea lice. The other ones we didnt really get good hooks sets since they caught us by suprise and bit RIGHT at the boat. One picked up the bait and hooked it self but we closed the loop thing on the rod holder and couldnt get the rod out! It was back there splashing and & rolling and got off before we got the rod out! Justin hooked one on the jig and we didnt pull the plunkin lines so guess where it went....  got under those lines and lost it too.  I guess we got what we deserved there. I think part of the problem was fishing so shallow that when you get them next to the boat - which was almost immediately, they still have too much spunk and toss it really easily.
 
Anyway, I think it still needs another week before it kicks off really well. The rain we got should help push more in but its not worth taking a day off work yet I dont think....

Anyone fishing the salt in the last day or so?

[longknife]

fished today, 3 limits in 4 1/2 hrs. 3 nice silvers, 9 pinks, and a happy new fisherman on my boat!

[h20hunter]

Bumping this. Who was out today? Shipwreck, HH, Browns bay, how deep, fresh pinks? a few silvers?

Heading out in the morning and want to put a fella on some fish.

[h20hunter]

Here is my current fishing report for those heading out.

We had lines in the water right around shipwreck. It was overcast and foggy so only ran down to abou 55 or so. Lots of fish. Everyone was catching fish. We caught fish, the guy in front of, to the side, and behind us caught fish. Fish were jumping all over. Two limes, 7 pinks, one coho. The silver wasn't shy about the pink hoochie...it bit on the way down at about 20 feet as was jumping before we even knew it was hooked up.

If you haven't gotten out...go. I think we are at the peak of the run.
