On the 2nd the creel report said Dash Point had 20 pinks. :cheers:
Pinks are showing up. Lots of Anglers at Browns point in their hip waders. Seen quite a few taken this weekend.:cyclopsan
I like it when I can call it Catching!

I am hoping that a weekday morning will have less people than a Sunday. Yes, I have been there when there were that many people at least if not more. The most sickening part is those that see a fish, shout it out, and the rush is on to throw thier buzz bomb or dart at the fish. If the dock were a boat it would tip over. Talk about snaggers?
Look for Wannafish A Lure on FaceBook

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

Aint that the truth Toni. Been there done that, fish flying thru the air, people jumping in front of you, all those tangled lines, I love it. For that many people jammed together Im surprised by how friendly it all was (this was 2years ago), didnt see any fights or nothing break out. Im also thinken of taking off on a weekday, see if i can get a spot to call my own. Good luck

I saw 5 come in and a silver get brought in by a boat that was sitting ab out 100 yards out.

I know they are there but didn't want to bite anything I was throwing out there

Don't worry about it Scott, it happens. There are plenty of pinks to be caught right now, but the pinks aren't even close to being "in". Its still slow right now. Monday caught 1, Tuesday caught 2, Wednesday caught 1, Thursday caught 0, Friday caught 5, today caught 0. Every time I fished with a minimum of 2 other people. The best day I have had so far was 5 pinks for 3 people. I am not a pro by any means, but in a week or 2, 5 fish per person will be a slow day.
