I need the top half to a Berkley (Buzz Ramzsey series) IM7 8'6" spinning rod. It broke beneath the 2nd guide last week on a very nice fish. Unfortunately, I bought this a few years ago and Berkley won't replace it. If anyone has a top half lying around, I'd be more than willing to buy it from you. T...

i had a very similar incident with a harbor seal this year fishing for pinks at Dash Pt State Park. I was out in my 8ft row boat, hooked and landed a fish. As I had the fish over the side of the boat to remove the hook, the seal bit onto the fish thru my net, I struggled trying not to lose the fish ...

thanks for the state link, I just filled out there full report form so hopefully they can get out there soon before the silvers start running thick....but not expecting the state to jump on it right away. If all else fails, I'll take G-Man's advice and hit up King 5 for some media pressure.

Elliott Bay Chinook 2009



First Ever Chinook and salmon for that matter...forgot what river

hey everyone, Saw these abandoned nets along the river near the powerlines on the Green River (actually behind the Annex Tavern) and was not surprised to find several pink salmon caught in two different nets I found. It's sad to see fish caught in abandoned gear and though it would be a much worse f...

i fish dash pt in my little row boat. I slay them with a 1/4oz jig with a pink mini hoochie. I've done it under a float and just straight casting and they seem to like it more without the float. I cast then just lift my rod super slow (not even a twitch) and they just nail it. It works good in the r...

went out tuesday as well and picked up a few trips...the funniest thing was when my buddy thought he got caught on weeds and it turned out to be fishing line and that turned out to be a rod...lol. it was a crappy daiwa that looked like it had been down there for a quite some time...any takers? haha

i was there saturday too 8-4pm...we slayed them between the three of us. probably about 11 a piece, ended up only keeping two of them between all of us. it was disturbing to see one boat out there just raking fish, not flossing, RAKING...not only were they using treble hooks in saltwater but they we...

yea i understand that but if i would've known that it just happened on wednesday, I would have been reluctant to go out.

So I've heard rumors that on Wednesday the State paid one of the Indian Tribes to test the salmon fisheries in the bay to see what kind of runs they should expect over the next few weeks. Of course there was multiple nets being deployed and the I guess usually they obtain about 30 salmon per net. Th...

i didn't get out on the water unfortunately. on salmonuniversity.com, they said that the area 11 opener was "good" with the largest fish at 18lbs. Pretty sure I'll be making it out there this weekend.

American would be ideal...was there on sunday and released around 20+ fish (mostly stockers) from 7am-noon. only thing is that it was really crowded over the weekend and the boat launch was a zoo but once you're on the water its alright.

hey everyone, I've been trying to target smallies on the banks of LW for the past few weeks to no avail. I live in Seattle and normally try to hit coulon, seward park area and madrona from the shore or off docks. I dropshot around any structures I can find and still can't get any to bite (if they ar...
