Title: Tulalip Bubble
Post by: CP on May 23, 2013, 11:46:43 AM: Anyone fish this area regularly? I gave up on this place several years ago because it sucked. Has it gotten any better? I see they are allowing 2 poles this year, maybe that will help.

"Anglers may fish with two poles with Two-Pole Endorsement."

That's probably because you didn't try hard enough! Or you were off chasing bears instead of fishing! :chuckle:

Post by: steeleywhopper on May 23, 2013, 01:15:59 PM: I have not had a problem catching fish in the Bubble. I think the main thing here is to fish certain spots during certain parts of the tide. I always have one rigger set up high between 40ft and 60ft and the other 90ft or deeper. 9 out of 10 times the shallow rod gets hit. These fish suspend and you don't have to go deep to get em.

Post by: Ripper on May 23, 2013, 04:31:17 PM: Just funnin with you H20, it's not an easy fishery. I usually hit fish at 65 feet down in 90-120 feet of water on the incoming tide.

Post by: CP on May 31, 2013, 12:55:18 PM: This morning’s opener was slow. Dead is a better word. Not a single bump on my boat and I didn’t see any fish caught on any other boats. Even the Tulalips’ nets were empty when I saw them pull them.

Post by: h20hunter on June 05, 2013, 08:03:36 AM: Anyone out lately? I'm thinking a trip out is needed since it is a short run for me. I can of course look it up but how long is it open?

Post by: steeleywhopper on June 19, 2013, 06:54:55 PM: We pounded it for 8hrs on Sunday and hit nothing. I think the small tide change did not help any. We fished from daylight till about noon, coyote spoons and bucktails were the weapons of choice. Tulalips launch was closed for Non-Tribal members so we had to launch out of Everett. Just a little heads up for ya'll.

Post by: lostbackpacker on June 25, 2013, 08:42:01 AM: i've heard of a few caught from there. the best bet is to fish it on incoming tide.

Bingo!

isn't that kinda the general rule of thumb for most areas?
