So my friend showed me this video once of him catching a fish at hood canal. It was this very rainy day where the tide appeared to be out, the fish were so abundant they were literally just flopping around in very shallow water.
But they still were casting out into the water and fair hooking them (although they told me some people would just come with a net and just scoop em up and leave...
They said all the fish were just chums.
I plan on talking to my friend about this area but does anyone know where this area would be and more importantly when the fish are that abundant?
Shore fishing hood canal!

Re: Shore fishing hood canal!
Hoodsport, WA - at the hatchery.
Chums start to show in numbers around the 20th of October and peak in early November (around the 10th - 14th) running through pretty much the end of the month before it peters out.
'Just chums' you say...they are HARD fighting fish, and smoke quite well..and action can be non stop even from the shore.

Re: Shore fishing hood canal!
Oh cool! Got it thanks!
I didn't mean just chums as in they're not good I mean when I saw the video of fish boiling so rapidly in such shallow water I said wow what species are there and he said just chums. As in none from what he saw were chinook or anything else.
I've never caught and landed a salmon yet in my life so I have no crap to talk about chums haha.
From what I read I would try making it once atleast. From the salt. Kept on ice. Haha.
As for the action that's what they were saying. They both got there limit in just a couple hours (maybe would have been faster if the rain wasn't a downpour lol)
