Good luck to all that entered the derby. The weather looks better then the past several years.
Stay safe and have a great weekend. ........BB

Can anyone give a report on the chum fishing? It's been slow for the last few weeks and I'm debating whether to try again or just winterize my boat. Thanks,

Winterize.
Very few chum.
Like nothing there.

 

[Gearbox Paul]

Thanks

Fished Saturday went 1-3 and pulled the pin

 

[Gong Show]

Show off!
We went 0-1 three days straight.
We saw one small salmonoid in a net for all three days.

Good crew and if you were out of the wind, it was warm weather, so that was a highlight this year.

The gal I had with me had a 11 1/2 on the leader board for most of Saturday, but was bumped off by the 12 lbers.. Oh Well !! We ended up with an 8 and 11.5 chum and a hatchery coho ... Miserable wind on Saturday.... plus big tides made boat handling "interesting" But still a good time.

Sounds like fish or no fish it was time well spent. It would be nice to hear about more fish though.

I heard the fish cops caught more fishermen than fishers caught chum. Pretty easy pickings with hundreds of boats in a concentrated area.
