holy crap, so i went down to the hoods port hatchery for the first time, and talk about chum city!, got there around 930 and there were about 20 other guys wading out there fishing, everyone was just slaying the chums, every other cast we had a chum on, i took home a 20# , 12# and a 9# chum for the smoker. i watched one guy snap his lamiglass rod in half fighing a chum which was kinda funny, but it was a good day, there were literally schools of 600 chums swimming right in front of us, but it made me mad cause a few russian guys were snagging the chums and keeping them, so my buddy cussed them out and they left the hatchery, and then fish and game showed up and busted 7 people for using barbed hooks. but other than the combat fishng, it was fun to hook into chums all day, and i doubt there will be any left, becuase all the natives were out there and driving from the skokomish river all the way to the hoodsport hatchery, the natives were just netting the heck out of the hood canal, and i drove up to the hood canal bridge and they were netting all the way up there, im sure they just cleaned house on the canal...not sure why they need that many chums, kinda spoiles it for everyone else
