excellent. did you see any salmon caught? I fished the jaws and bar area Wednesday from my i11s and saw 5 netted (2 nooks, 3 coho). I had 2 nice take-downs, both just in from the bar, that stripped off my herring but didn't hook-up. Lots of small baitfish in the lower river...
Not that I saw. plenty of boats on the water, Parking lot was about 3/4 full when we launched. Some going up hill but most seemed to be going down and a few going out.
The way the waves were rolling in I was able to get within 50 yards of the end of the jetties without a lot of concern for breakers rolling over my low freeboard. Yet we still never caught any fish.
While cleaning the crabs I did see some fresh salmon carcases in the waste cans, so someone was getting a fish or two.
And yes, there was a ton of small baitfish in the water along the jetties, but even my smaller plastics that seemed to be a good size and color match didn't entice any takers.
But the main thing was the day on the water.
I been spending too many days in a row cooping myself up here at the house.
I was in serious need of an outing.
