It's seal city at the cap right now too. I did a few laps for the hell of it yesterday after fueling up for tomorrow's circus. Saw one net, it was slow in the afternoon but talked with a buddy who picked up 3 yesterday. Each was a sprint to keep the fish away from whiskers.

We had a nice spring on up north, sea lions were after it. Guide said hold on, he did a fast circle around the fish, lucky we got it. Tried it this year, it worked too. Probably too many boats out here. But in the open, could be worth a try.

All my fish have been away from the pack by fisheries. 20lber was a bit past the shipping buoy towards fisheries. One hatchery coho this morning same spot 100' water 50' rigger anchovy

I’ve seen that done many times down at the buoy 10 fishery in Oregon. Sometimes works

Chum is very good smoked. Especially males with thick belly and caught in the ocean or before they darken. I worked in a smoke house. We would eat them almost everyday. Brings back work memories. I better going fishing tomorrow

X2 on the quality of the smoked chum. Smoked chum with stoli-flavoured ginger ale makes the perfect snack for a cold winter fishing day. Chum roe is also great for roe sacks if you’re into steelhead fishing.

Lost a 20lber by cap tough landing these fish with the current.

Too Bad... But don't forget. They can be as big as you want when you lose them : )

You're lying, I bet it's on fire and you want us to drive over the fish on the way to sandheads tomorrow. Good play

Ide say anchovies I was using both today and herring seemed the better. Plus they don't get burst bellies

Someone was fishing more or less in front of fisheries today but waythehellandgone out in the bay almost to the ships and I wondered WTH was going on I never see anyone fishing that spot.....then I remembered that's where we used to fish winter Springs back in the early 80's and action was steady but rarely hot whoever it was I hope they found something.

Springs are there believe me.

 

[Rain City]

Springs are there believe me.

Did you just reveal the secret spot!!!

 

[ab1752]

Springs are there believe me.

Ok so since we are still in the trust tree here, how about a little sharing of this perceived madness?

 

[prodjsaig]

Just stay in the shipping lane its 100 feet.w
