Title: Chehalis Silvers!
Post by: bowtech721 on September 27, 2009, 07:28:06 PM: Hit the lower chehalis today and only had a couple hours to fish but ended up with three nice silvers :) Seemed like they were everywhere jumping and some people were catching them off the bank. Ton of fun!

Were you guys trolling? Or just throwing spinners?

Post by: BLKBEARKLR on September 28, 2009, 11:16:50 AM: Bowtech, I have only fished the Chehalis twice for sturgeon, I put in up high and then went down, were you fishing right at the mouth of it? And if you do not mind explain to me where you launched at, I have no clue :dunno:

Thanks

Post by: bowtech721 on September 28, 2009, 05:08:29 PM: Joe... this was my first time fishing it too but for what its worth we launched at the 28th street launch right near where the hoquiam comes in at. Check out this website... www.sschapterpsa.com and youll find some useful info about the area and launches around. I think its under like johns river fishery/ chehalis something rather. it has directions to all the ramps and stuff like that. Allan

Post by: fishcrazy on September 28, 2009, 08:53:26 PM: Good to see they got more in. When they were about out and the next shipment was not yet in the country I purchased over $200.00 of them. They have been outfishing bait for most guys.

Post by: Antlershed on September 29, 2009, 09:16:00 PM: Herring outfished the brads out at buoy ten for me. I'm not 100% sold on them yet.

Post by: fishcrazy on September 29, 2009, 09:18:20 PM: The guys I know that fished them at B10 said they out fished herring 6-1. But I also think it will have alot to do with what you put in them. ;)
