What a great time today out on the samish, lots of people but tons of fish. Hooked into about eight fish all mouth hooked and landed a nice bright 18 pound king,while my buddy landed an even brighter 35 pound hen with a nice couple skeins of eggs. Thought combat fishing would have been a bad experience but it wasn't at all,good group of fisherman out there and everyone helping each other,at it again reel soon, tight lines.

irishfisher,

sounds like a perfect day of fishing--tons of kings (that are biting!), great group of guys and great weather. Couldn't have stated it any better. It's the kind of day on the water we all look forward to! Best of luck out there!

I hear jigs are the preferred method. and fishing an hour before and after low tide. is that correct?

Well I fished a couple different methods but primarily yarn with scent in orange or pink with a 15 pound leader about 15 inches long with a
Small egg sinker, the bight is very small unless its a coho,but had alot of hook ups with that setup,I did see alot of guys just feeling any bump and setting into the sides and tails of these fish but they were too my knowledge releasing them. Your own cured eggs under a float or on the bottom do also work,hurry up though these fish are getting dark quick

thx, irish! so, sounds like traditional corky and yarn set up would work? how's the flow? from what I've seen on videos it's slow so guessing you don't need a very heavy weight - 1/4 - 1/2 oz?
