It's Humpy Time!
 Call them pinks, humpies, or just plain fun to catch - but if you aren't fishing Puget Sound or tributaries like the Duwamish, Green, Puyallup, Skagit, Snohomish or Skykomish Rivers this month (September) for some of the 5.1 million pink salmon projected to return this year you are missing out!!!How do you catch these fish, which typically weigh 3 to 5 pounds? We'll, start off with a seven to eight and a half foot rod and put 8 to 12 pound test on your spinning reel. From there, here's a few tactics to try on the river bank or beach: Plunking - Put a pyramid weight on a dropper line that's heavy enough to keep it on the bottom.

Rufus Woods Cabin By The River 2009!
|
Yes, "There Will Be Blood". Join Aaron, Andrew, and myself as we enjoy the quality fishery that is Rufus Woods. Our stay at Cabin By The River was excellent! Everything you could ask for in a secluded location - beautiful scenery, good boat launch, quick run to the pens - and most important a cabin which was clean and comfortable, with everything a group of anglers or hunters could ask for. I know I'll be back! Check them out at www.CabinAtTheRiver.com.

Wow - Lot's of Updates Posted!
|
Finally! It's been a BUSY fall but today I have time for one thing - site updates. Here we go:
It's not too early to think about Christmas. Here's some early season ideas. First, instead of fishing tackle, consider getting some good accessories.
Here's an article on a clothing review I did on Columbia Sportswear clothing. I was very impressed with the fishing clothing they have to offer.
How about cooking those fish? Recently posted was this video review of Camp Chef smokers.
New Pictures and/or Overviews: Arbor (King), Crocker (Jefferson), Vance Creek Ponds (Gray's Harbor),Carpenter, Island (Kitsap) (thanks to Bob Johansen), Alkali, Dry Falls (Grant)(thanks to Marc Martyn), Rufus Woods Seaton's Grove launch area (thanks to Dave G). Please note, some pictures may not post until later today.
Bruce Middleton posted one of the most complete articles I've read on Baits and Lures in our Article and Story section. Check it out!
New Audio files from John Kruse (2) have been posted as well. Enjoy!
