To avoid the Saturday morning rush, we hit the snoho at rotary park at 3:00. Tide was coming in hard and high. We tried fishing by the float plane for 20 min, no jumpers so moved up river.

Got to the town of snohomish and theres where all the people and fish were. There were fish EVRYWHERE. Water was just plain boiling with slamon upriver of snohomish. We tried pink hoochie jigs, lil' corkie jigs, tiny dick nite, pink spoon. I got ONE BITE and spit the jig. The Father-in-law got a nice bright hen and THATS IT. 4 hrs of casting into swarms of fish and THATS IT.

Last two trips resulted in fast limits, what was the deal yesterday??? Bite was OFF.

There was 4-5 other boats in that same spot we were in, and only saw one other fish caught. There should have been fast limits for everyone. We would have been better off putting the net into the water and waiting for fish to jump into it.

Anyone have an explination??? I'm stumped. Maybe it was the Slack tide?? We fished right through it. I don't know.............

Friday the bite was on around 1 P.M. Seems to me that the incoming tide is the best and at slack they quit bitting. We launched at slack low Friday and didn't put any in the boat until the tide started coming in.

I fished Yesterday morning as well joining the masses during low tide. It was very slow and ultimately we got skunked which is rare. I had three hooked and lost all three, otherwise we had nothing. Odd compared to last weeks 4 days of stellar fishing resulting in 36 harvested and over 40 caught and released, no exaggeration. I'm hoping my issue was the very low tide. I thought that as the tide came in so would some willing fish. I will be back out there FRiday is all goes as planned. I hope to see better results.

Bite was slow today as well. I got one below the float plane area. We saw others but couldn't hook one no matter what we did.
