I went out during my lunch hour to do some fishing. This is my first year fishing, so I asked a guy at Outdoor Emporium to set me up. I was down at the river armed with some jigs. Didn't see any fish jumping, but I tried anyways. I tried twerking jigs like the guy at the store was telling me about, but I think he was messing with me. I lost all 10 of the jigs I bought, and slipped and fell in the mud. I went back to work looking like a pig wallowing in mud. This river is too full of trees, I don't think it's worth the trouble. Gonna go try the Puyallup instead, my coworker said he's been catching a lot of fish there.

Twerking jigs.... Lol first time I've heard that one. At lunch time the tide would have been on its way down. Fish the incoming tide. Sounds like your doing pretty good for your first year, fell in the mud and only lost 10 jigs. Your gonna lose more than that.:) don't give up yet. There's gonna be a lot of fish soon.

The guys at Outdoor Emporium know their stuff twitching jigs is a very good tactic for pinks. Losing gear is just part of fishing but there are ways that you can prevent that. Try not to cast around structure like logs you will most likely snag on them. Don't let your jig sink all the way to the bottom when twitching for pinks I like to start twitching after a three second drop. The mud in the Duwamish is slippery if you have studded wading boots wear them or just try and steer clear of muddy spots. Some spots on the Duw have less snags than others the spot I fish has only one. The fish will come I like to fish the low tide. Try drifting corky and yarn with some eggs too the fish will hit that pretty good too. Tight lines and dry waders.

Twitching jigs yes. I was just having a giggle at "twerking jigs". Makes me think Miley is taking up salmon fishing...

Just make sure to wait until September to use any kind of bait.
