Tried my luck for coho at thomas and eddie snoho. Not successful at all. Got to the river at 730am and parking lot are full so i thought its gonna be a good day fishing but i was wrong. Water was low but able to catch the incoming tide. Call it quit at 11am. Only saw maybe 5 jumpers but thats it havent seen anybody pulled fish either. Got one hook up though, don't know if its trout or small salmon, it's small like 8 inches. That's why its two rating. Will be back soon.

Had to go out today because i'll be out hunting this weekend and won't be here for the rain. Alarm went off at 5 and snoozed to about 5:20. Left at 6 and was at the river fishing by 7. Started off twitchin a jig that i had tied up last night and had no takers on that. Switched to float and eggs and nothin on that. So about 10 i packed up and moved further down river and 2 casts later with float and eggs BOBBER DOWN. Set the hook, Oh yea fish. Played it for a minute because i didn't have a net then as he calmed down i grabbed him and brought him to land. A nice chrome buck is put on the stringer. Finished writing it down on my card and another couple casts later another bobber down but it turned out to be a jack so i let it go and didn't get anything else after that. 12 I ran out of eggs and was happy going home with 1. I was at bob heirman park and only saw 1 other legally hooked fish on a blue fox spinner. Also how early do you guys get out there because i always thought i was early but i get there and the parking lot is full.

Hit the mighty river today. Man what a beaut!! I was like that is pretty neat! Fished from sun up and to sun down, Couldnt get anything to bite, but then the tide changed and the nibbles came a wackin, I was using, a fire tiger orange plug, scented with anise and marked with fire tiger stripes (I marked with black marker). Some people call me crazy but I put a little ham on the end of the hooks. Some times I get a little hungry and the ham doesnt make it to the plug he he. Back to my fishing trip. Bout 5 other boats fishing by me. Didnt see any caught. Seemed like I was the only one get hits. I didnt know I was that good at fishing but when you are the only person catching them it boost your self esteem. I need that right now becuase my little brother has been out fishing me for my entire life and maybe some day I can be just like him, I attached a photo of one bright one I caught. Tight lines, Remember cohos do like ham.

Went to bob hermain park today. Lots of people lots of fish too! I was casting blue fox #4 green, with ham scented leader. Everyone was laughing at me becuase they saw me putting ham on the hooks but they shut up real quick when my rod got hammered. HAMMMered! Take a look at this pic! Look close at how chrome the back is. Hot fish.

Met up with Gringo Pescador for a shot at river coho. Seemed like ideal conditions - nice, sunny day, HT at 12:30 so we could fish the incoming flow of fish.

The morning we tossed spinners and spoons for about an hour at lots of jumping fish, none of which had any interest in what we had to offer. So from 9:30 to 1pm we trollled plugs and spin/glows with eggs. Nothing. And no one else, save one lucky boat that caught one unlucky coho had any luck.

At HT the fish again started rolling. Again, we couldn't get them to bite. Seals did pretty good. We saw at least a half dozen just below the town of Snohomish.

Doing my part to conserve the resource today... :-)
