Well the weatherman predicted a sunny and nearly windless day and like a fool I believed. I saw bait on the sounder just off the launch and trolled the area for about 1/2 and hour with no luck before...

This more a crabbing trip with some blackmouth fishing included to pass the time while letting the pots soak, than the other way around. Blackmouth fishing has been slow at best so I decided to targe...

I was debating whether to try for blackmouth while soaking the crab pots or hit up the lake. The tides weren't really favorable for today so the lake it was. I started fishing the East Channel, Merc...

I still haven't given up on trying to figure out the coho in Lake Washington. I started at 9:00am just North of the 520 bridge and had a strike just as I was about to put the line in the release clip...

Hit the lake this morning with my neighbor around 9:00am and fished until 3:00pm. Fishing was slow and the winds out of the North didn't make it easy, the surface temps were right around 59 degrees....

Well I was going to give fishing for Silvers North of the 520 Bridge another shot but thought better of it. Instead I hit up the North end of Mercer Island in search of some Cutts and Kokes. I found...

First a little report on the so called "launch" at Birch Bay State Park. The launch is really for car toppers, kayaks and canoes only. You could probably launch a small boat on a trailer but you wil...

As I fished the lake both days, I thought I'd combine the reports. I bagged fishing Sammamish this weekend as my neighbor was out Friday and said the Chinook numbers were still minimal. I later hear...
