Fished down by 112th street on the outgoing/low tide in the pouring rain. Not many fish to be seen on the surface the 3 hours i was fishin, saw maybe a dozen fish surface. There was about 15 guys in my general area and 3 of them caught silvers. I went 1 for 3 on silvers with the one i landed not being very big and he was scrawny. I have dialed in on a good spot and got the technique down. All my fish have came on the same color Dick Nite which is now my go to color (not the 50/50). One thing i have noticed is that i get more fish on the wee size than the #1. Cant wait the rain should really start a good push of silvers by weeks end. To bad the tides are gonna be bad for awhile.

Out of the two fish i lost one was head shakin like crazy for a good 30 seconds when he came off. The other is a fun story. I hooked the fish and the first thing it did was make a bee line right for some rocks. in my hurry to move out of the water to get a better angle and keep it out of the rocks i stubbed my toe and went down. Pole and hands hit the water and when i came back up my line was slack. I figured it just got off but what when i reeled in my slack i noticed my line got sliced clean off. When i tripped im guessing my line dropped right into the rocks. What sucks is i lost my hot Dick Nite and about 30 feet of my mainline and now that poor fish is swimming with a bunch of gear stuck in its face. So if you were in the area of 112th and heard the f-word shouted out around 9am that was me.

I also went upstream near Kent/Auburn to take a peak and there was tons of spawned out pinks all over the place. Saw 2 big bronze kings snagged and released. Also watched some jerk trying to snag fish and it was really obvious. The fish were being forced into a small slot in the river and he would cast across it and the jerk his line thru the water and repeat, over and over again.

I've been spoiling to try the DN Spoon, hopefully this week. It is incredible that those spoons are so effective. Thanks for sharing and that jerk is a sack of numb nuts.

If you look closely, you can see the reflection of purple and black in the ring.
