I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

Fished the Notellum this saturday, and man, it was packed with fish. ONce we found them, we caught our limits in under an hour, drifting our secret blend of spice cured roe. Not to mention that we caught 10 chinook, several of which were dime bright and feisty, four coho, a bit on the firetruck end of the spectrum and some nice cutts and dollies. Trip well worth it, the weather was gorgeous and the fish were hungry. Sometimes you have to work to find the fish, but it ends up being the best trip of the year! Bring on the steel! Smoking up some and grilling the rest, these fish were only a day away from the salt! :cheers: =D>

I just had the same thought.
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook
He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.
