Northwest Fishing Reports

As a regular fishermen at Sylvia, remember that weeds grow tall there so make sure you keep your bait high. I typically fish from the bridge using 6-7 foot leaders and I use a #16 treble hook. If your fishing from a boat, yes dragging a fly will typically get you some bites. when i fish from my pont...

Ya....sorry. I work Friday- Monday this week. But i have the next two weeks off. What charter are you going on. Ohhhh..you need to fish the boardwalk Friday for some lingcod caviar.

Great day with my son fishing the boardwalk. We limited on our sea bass and also caught a couple capizon, 1 pile perch and a short ling. I would love to post the pictures of the rockfish but I guess I'm doing something wrong as it will not let me.

I always fish the incoming tide. The best is typically mid to high tide. The bass that I caught the other day ranged from 1 to 3 pounds. I never use artificial bait. You just cannot beat live fresh bait.

I will be nice.....good fishing sir.

How do I add a picture to my post? I have a nice pic of the bass I caught.

Thanks.

Pile worms are not illegal. I personally spoke with Dan Ayres, He is the Lead Biologist for Coastal Shellfish in Region six. He told me that the words "Marine Worms" do not include Pileworms. I have a letter from him that he downloaded, http;//wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/shellfish/statewide_rules.html If yo...

I fished the Westport Boardwalk last Friday. Had a great day. I caught 8 very nice black rockfish. 2 of them were in the three pound range. The bait i was using was Pile worms.

Just a question, Anyone out there eat yellow perch? I was told that Summit lake is a great place to fish for them and i was just wondering what they taste like.

Ya, This is my fav fishery. There are some places that get Very shallow so thats why i went with a sled.

Salty, It was just a year ago that I was in the same place you are in with buying the boat and getting the best for my money. I decided that I wasnt going to purchase my boat until i looked at the Boat Show. I knew that the Upper End boats (North River, Ductworth, Thunderjet) were way out of my pric...

The way I interpet it, it you can use bait where your fishing, then whatever you put on your hook is ok. corn, goldfish , worms, powerbait, it's all the same in the regs. At least I can't see anything different. If I want to tie a pumpkin to the end of my line it's fine, I just wont catch anything....

Is the fix cosmetic or is it stuructual?.....

Flossers give the rest of us a bad rap. Ive fished corkies and yarn since i was 8/9 yrs old. Taught by my dad to fish them...not floss em. id say 90% of my salmon caught w/ corkies n yarn are fair hooked. The bite is all feel, its like trying to explain to somebody the pickup of a rubber worm. Get ...

HaH............thats perfect. I will put it in the stocking myself.

Depending on the battle ground, I'd love to come and help educate. i think that one of the most common mistakes when fishing on the river is making sure that you say "fish on" and dont point your pole toward the fish. ALet the pole do the work its intended to do. The other think is watch how far eve...

Hmmmmm ......fly fishing for dogs? Now that sounds like a blast.

Anyone know if they have been coming to Hoodsport yet?
