Northwest Fishing Reports

I've seen a lot of guys fishing the sound in kayaks (close to shore) though they aren't as cheap as the raft you posted. Not sure what your budget or storage requirements are, but a small aluminum boat could easily be towed with a car, not a truck.

Your right. Don't know why I was thinking 4700. Should verify my aging memory before I type.

4700 chinook already??

Must be pretty bad when Lake Wenatchee is now a river.

With pinks so plentiful (that is, plenty to go around) it would be great to see everyone post their reports on the site.

All the reports I've seen have been off the beach. Dumb question, but is there any reason they wouldn't be catchable by boat as well? Is it just more beach goers report their catches on social media?

That bastion of truth and honesty Facebook had several caught at Bush Point.

I looked into a swim platform for a Bluewater Sportsman I used to have. I think it was from Swim Platforms, Inc. They wanted $1500.00 and that seemed to be the going rate--too much for me. Good luck though!

Mid-sound is a pretty big area and has two sides to it. I'm in Bellevue and usually launch out of Everett or Edmonds (sling launch). There's also launches at shilshole and Mukilteo. Any would be fine for your boat. Mukilteo can get dicey when the waters rough I've heard, but doubt you'd be trying th...

For salmon sized I use the 5x7 (ish) dense foam sheets. The squid doesn't have to wrap around it. Terribly expensive from the store but I'm sure there's a homemade option.

Hi all, I'd like to know the etiquette when someone asks for a guide recommendation and there doesn't appear to be a sponsor who would provide the requested service. Should we ignore the question? pm them? This came up over a Westport charter (where I was very nicely reminded of the rule, thanks Nat...

Have you thought of the "poor man's down rigger? Just a ball on a line tied off at the desired depth. I just got a pontoon boat and was going to give it a try. There's a couple you tube videos

Oops I didn't think about that--sorry. Didn't mean to break rules/etiquette. Are there any Westport sponsors?

Mark Coleman's Allrivers and Saltwater Charters. Mark's background is as a river guide. His boats are charters, but max of 6 people. Disclaimer: I've been on the rivers with him and went on a tuna run, but have no personal experience with saltwater salmon.

I'm not hitting the derby but I'd love any tips folks have for catching these things in Entiat. We go over to Lincoln Rock every year and it would be fun to do my part to save the smolts! (I'm hoping that folks don't care too much about giving out secret locations for pikeminnow)

A person named Brianna Bruce posted one for sale on the Northwest Kokanee Addicts Facebook page. $200. Its a Wilderness, don't know if that meets your good brand or not.

Probable cause is different than a warrant. The cop on the street or the game warden can stop you and look in your bag if he has probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. This is different than your home--they need a warrant to enter and probable cause is insufficient.

Check out salmonbarry's post in classifieds. Great deal on great rod/reel combo

Here's another thread on this topic: http://www.washingtonlakes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=19271" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; I ended up with Tekota 500s, and i really like them. They were a gift--if i had to spend my own dough I would have gone with the Okuma Coldwater at $100...

If this is correct, that August 31 date doesn't mean much: Not sure if you’ve heard the news yet but NOF is just wrapping up in California. The Muckelshoots successfully arm-twisted WDFW to accept one of the most restrictive packages for sport salmon fishing in Puget Sound since the ESA listings bac...
