Friday hooky day Solo Hangover Mission to the Duwi!

Man... i don't know why i keep hitting the Snohomish for the skunk sessions.. the Duwi is so much closer and with willing biters it seems.. I got a late morning start this morning and launched around 10:30 at 1st Ave and motored up through and around all the plug trollers, anchoring up in sections and casting Dick Nites.. I kept casting and moving up until i found a more congested hole of jumpers and rollers, full of willing biters.. game on.. 35 to 45 mins later i had a limit and i was both happy and sad.. 1st limit of the season for me.. :)

I was bouncing dick nites on a 6' leader with 1/2oz weight off the bottom in green or chartreuse tip #1's, nickel or brass.. seemed the brass was getting more tugs..

Video will have to wait.. but its coming!!

Nice native fellow at their station at the launch gave me a bucket of ice to put my cleaned fish on ice for the drive home through Seattle traffic.. thanks, bro!!! good day..

Did you see if/where the nets were? I got off work early and ran over to Wooldridge. On my way I stopped and fished the bank at the power lines about noon and there was nothing happening, but you could see a school jumpin/rolling up near the Boeing bridge.

Gringo,
no nets were in when i rolled through.. i had to wait to launch because they were all pulling out when i got there (with fish in the boats).. and when i left the river, the native folk were out there with their fish in tubs of ice selling them.

Well Done! Good stradegy, I agree about the Duwi, so conveniently close compared to the sno!

Luis..
I've been on the lower snoho mainly.. sometimes my boat sometimes Bodofish's boat..

the horns only come out when i feel like the slaying is about to go down.. just one fish doesn't warrant the horns.. 2 fish and the thought of a limit does! :)

I reviewed video last night.. double angles, etc.. its gonna be a good one!! i love fishing solo!!

That fish in the front looks a lot like a cutthroat to me.

Damn dude... Totally Jealous... I spent all day Saturday wading through the lower Snohomish throwing Dick Nite’s and just about everything else I had in my tackle box with nothing to show for it... Way to go... I need to get me a boat ASAP.

That one made me do a double check when first opened it up. My immediate thought was Steel! Good Catching! I will be slinging some wee dick nites in a couple of hours!
