i got a phone call from dj butler this morning to see about hitting the snohomish, and off i went. we met up around 2:30, just in time for receding tide :/ on the way there i overheard another group of anglers "its still a bit too early, there arent many fish in yet" i beg to differ. i will say for pinks they are being very selective, but there are certainly plenty of fish to be had right now.
after seeing no action in a lower hole we fished we decided to ford the entire snohomish river to find a prime bar that wasnt crowded, this was a good move. we were both skunked until about 5:30pm then the tide switched and it was lights out knock em dead fishing for about 1 hour, in this time i hooked up and lost 2 fish and missed several bites and landed my limit, mr. butler missed too many hook ups and bites to count, he nailed. his first 3 in short order, but then it was the curse of the almost limit that struck him, he kept getting hits and brief hook ups but just couldnt stay connected. we ended up having to leaving at 7pm due to fiance/wife while the fish were still rolling and hitting, if he couldve stayed 10 more minutes im sure he wouldve limited out.
my home tied 3/8oz white head pink/white maribou jig scented with sandshrimp oil caught every single fish that both of us caught today, it was the hot jig for sure. we saw huli isda leave with his limit today too. hoping to see his report too. plenty of fish caught by others today aswell.
