Been a busy month...

Been working on my house and helping my parents with their boat repair.…Not a lot of time to post! New roof is on the house which means its time to focus on Salmon Season.

The early season started off slow for the resident silvers but has picked up in recent days. The fish are small but fun and they only get bigger. The migratory fish will build over the month and July looks to be exciting.

Here’s a shot of a snapped shaft and of a blackmouth caught and released Friday.

New Gear for the 2019 Season

Wind Knot Guides has upgraded the Rods and Reels for the upcoming salmon season. These are G Loomis IMX6 and Shimano Tekota Reels. Love the new large handle on the Tekota A’s. Scored a seafoam green YETI cooler and some Costa Del Mar “Slacktide” sunglasses.

The annual FOUR HOUR shimping opener was a blast

Seattle typically gets a one or two day 4-6 hour spotted prawn season. The bag limit is 80 per angler. The weather cooperated and we had a great day on the water. A nuclear Submarine even surfaced with Mt Rainier in the back ground. Limits were bagged by 9am and the rest of the morning was spent in search of lingcod!
