Northwest Fishing Reports

"Frosty Silver" along with brass and nickel were available finishes on Bolo's in the 1966 Les Davis catalog. Silver plate was(and still is) a very common finish on Salmon spoons as well.

I may be able to help you out with a pile, where are you located.

I have not seen a single good report for crabbing anywhere south of Port Angelus so far this year. Its depressing. Did the commercials and tribes get to go first again this year and clean them out?[/quote] I was unaware that the Puget Sound crab fishery was commercially harvested. Could be the MILLI...

The soldered wire attachment on the blades was pretty much the norm on very early(pre1900) metal baits and was used commonly into the 40's at least. The box swivel on the front of the troll was in common use until around 1930-35 before barrel swivels and McMahon swivels became the standard. Check th...

Would adding a couple of footman loops and using the belt/strap that came with the box work? strap and loops could be used to tie down anything when not using the pontoon with the motor and battery and are pretty unobtrusive when not needed.

Thought I would share a few ... An Eddie Bauer, a Haury's circa 1939 from the old Haury's boathouse (now seacrest marina) and a Monk's Moocher by K.C. manufacturing in what was Winslow wa.

Item is sold! Thanks Quadfather and thanks for the forum!

Koda, I assume because in those waters salmon migrate through and without the ESA permits in place fishers are allowed zero impacts on salmon. A single fish hooked even by accident is a violation of ESA and therefore they must close the waters to mitigate that possibility. The state closes those Wat...

I have had good luck with John's in Everett,I do my own service but they have always had the parts needed in stock. I tried Penn 320's for a season and after having several spool tension caps and springs fall off in use I sold them and went back to the 209's/309's. If you are going to use the 321's...

Are you tying the flashers directly to the mainline or are you using a swivel to connect them? I use a bead(to prevent the swivel from being reeled to the top guide and damaging it) and a snap swivel(Owner Hyperswivels lately) and clip to the swivel on the flasher and have never had an instance of l...
