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. :bash: 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....

Heading out in the morning and want to put a fella on some fish.
Post by: h20hunter on August 28, 2011, 05:37:29 PM
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.

So running one rigger with two poles, we landed 4 pinks and one nice sliver between sunrise and 10 am.
We lost a good 5 fish, and something quite large - probably a king as it was shaking it's head pretty solid. Broke the line at the hook. As I read the regs, we can't keep kings so that's OK.
Launching at Muk is a real pain with only one dock in. We plan to join the madness again next weekend but will probably go out of Everett.

Went out yesterday in the thick fog and got 4 pinks pretty quick trolling South to the ship wreck. Then ran over to Pt no Pt for the low tide and got a 10+ lb silver and a 5 lber. Finished the day with another pink. Had a downrigger tangle and almost lost the end of my finger trying to fix it. :yike: Note to self, for safety sake unplug the rigger while working on it. :bash: Had to run in for steri stitches and a good cleaning. The finger is sore, but still intact.
Damn dude! Be careful! Cool you got some nice fish but that sucks about the finger! Hope it heals nicely and soon for you. Keep it clean!
Longknife - that is a SWEET looking 'nook my friend! I love the color in the 1st pic - so chrome with that beautiful purple hue they have. All the salmon are so much more pretty in the salt - even the pinks. Although I think sockeye look pretty cool when the get the red spawning color going on.

Good times. We picked up 3 pinks and 2 coho. The bite moved deep after about 9:30 am. We were doing well at 90 feet. Blue and white spoon worked better than the usual pink buzz bomb.
Post by: Rob on September 07, 2011, 10:14:09 AM
How long do the pinks stay in the area? Thinking about going out again next weekend.

Here is a little trick I've seen also. Get a small, like inch, inch and a half long green, white, or green/white hoochie. Put it like 8 inches behind your flasher. I've seen this work well for kings and silvers alike. I wouldn't have believed it with that short of a leader but it works.
You can also but a little spinner style corky, like for steelhead fishing, in front of your hoochie, give it some nice action and noise. I think if you look at the first fish in the video you'll see what I'm talking about.
Post by: trippledigitss on September 20, 2011, 08:23:23 AM
No problem. Don't be afraid to troll a bit faster, upwards of 3 or 3.5. I think it helps keep dogfish away and you get some good take downs. Silvers don't hit lightly.

Really? That small of a hoochie? I dont think I've ever seen one less than 2.5" long? Interesting. And by "corky spinner" you mean a spin n glo? I may have to try this setup! Also need to check out your vid. Thanks x2!
