i've never fished that place and heard there were a few good lookin' fish in there, any tips?
Fishing relaxes me. It's like yoga, except i still get to kill something.

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.

Kind of a weird concept, but everyone plunks corky/yarn. Typical colors, Chartreuse/Orange. 18-24 inches of leader. Use enough weight to hold offering on the bottom. I recommend bringing a rod holder. If you set your rod down on the ground, you might be leaving home without one if left unattended. 3 hours before incoming tide is best.

Just out of curiosity, where is Mud Bay?

River, lake, sound? seems like a fairly non-descript name that could be for almost anywhere.

thanks!

Yep. I fished the outgoing tide and only had a few bites. It is Marine area 13...the creek is closed.
Mud Bay is the end of Eld Inlet where Mclane creek is. I fished by the 101 bridge and the traffic noise is great. Fish can be fresh as they enter the creek but there are zombies there also.

When using the corkies you have to have enough to float the hook off the bottom. I used 2 size 10 corkies and a size 1 hook.
