Neah Bay salmon and lings 7-30-11 & 7-31-11

Lots of action at Neah bay this weekend!

We fished Neah bay Saturday and Sunday 7-30-11 and 7-31-11

The weather and fishing were great ,but we did have some strong tides to deal with.

We had  a five man crew  both Saturday and Sunday and  at times still did not seem to have enough hands to keep up with the fast  pace of the fishing.  We had our best results  on a mix of herring, hoochies, and  bucktails fished from top to bottom.

On Saturday we fished the US side and caught a mix bag of Silvers, kings, and Pinks, with the silvers accounting for most of our action.

The morning and evening bites were  very good, wide open with four and five fish on at the same  time while the mid-day bite was much slower but still good. 

Saturday night was alive! Birds everywhere, whales and tons of fish.

On Sunday morning we heading up to Canada where we found good action on an even mix of kings, silvers and pinks . We switched  gears  from salmon to bottom fish in the after noon and caught  limits of nice lings.

The overall fishing has been great this year. I can’t wait to get back out on the water !

Neah Bay July 23 &24 2011

THE SALMON FISHING WAS AWESOME THIS WEEKEND!

Chuck, Ben, Dick and I fished Neah bay this weekend. On Saturday the salmon fishing could not have been any hotter we had fish on the whole time. As soon as you put the gear in the water it was fish on!  Lots and lots of triples and many quads!  The crew just kept on cranking all day long! The fish were swarming on the surface and they seemed to be hitting anything we put in the water! Most of the fish  were silvers but we also caught plenty of nice kings and pinks .  
 It was an epic day!

On Sunday we fished the Canadian side. Fishing was a little  slower but still great with lots of triples and a few quads. After easy limits of good kings, silvers and pinks  we switched gears and caught our limits of lingcod, halibut and a nice batch of rock fish also.

The water was flat all weekend but the fog was very thick at times  witch made fishing right next  to the giant ships a little interesting  even with radar and AIS,  but the great fishing was well worth the effort. When the fog did lift it defiantly raised our comfort level.

La push 7-16 and 7-17-11

Tobin, killer Bee, Jeff W and I fished La Push Saturday and Sunday July 16^th & 17^th

The weather was good and the water was  calm most of the weekend.

Lots of life out there! whales, porpoises ,  birds, sea lions, and lots of bait.

On Saturday  we had to work  very hard  to get our limits of kings but we had plenty of action  on the pinks while doing so. We had our best king action while fishing very deep 300 to 400 feet of wire out on the rigger 

Sunday was a very different story the  king fishing was very good we caught easy limits of good kings early and had time to head south for our limits of Lingcod, a nice batch of black cod, and some large rock fish. An added bonus to the weekend was Quillayute days. While we did spend most of the day on the water we did benefit  from the good food and a great fireworks show.

La Push 7-9-11 & 7-10-11

The salmon fishing at La Push was awesome this weekend!

We had a 4 man crew, Rob S, Cory B,  Mike L, and Tom R all joined in.

The ocean was alive! whales, porpoises, ,birds, sea lions and tons of bait

The king fishing was excellent! Lots of fish with some very nice ones mixed in.

We had many doubles on both nice Chinook and silvers this weekend. we did our best on kings while fishing deep with flashers and hoochies

The silver fishing was also very good with quick limits each morning  on our surface rods and we even caught a few pinks.
