A little tempted to break out the float tube for perch (automatic fish fry or POTENTIAL smoked salmon, the great fall debate). Thanx for the report and I will bet you a smoked salmon or two there are a lot of people feelin' yuh on the stink stripe. A few people have the Duw/Green dialed in but not a lot. Good luck! I'll look forward to your next report in one week when the itch becomes too much to bear :-).

10/5/2012 11:23:00 AMI am not a bank fisherman but I know one thing when I am getting skunked in my boat it is time to clean things up from tackle box to lures. Joy soap, WD 40 what ever. Wear latex gloves baiting your hook, tieing your hooks and lines. In reading passed reports from guys in boats on the Duwammish they catch fish. not all the time but they do. It also could be net shock. Stand back and check your self out something small may be tripping your edge.

Come to think of it that makes a lot of sense. I remember from biology class long time ago in hig'h school that the sense of smell or fish is incredible. Is it possible then that common use and storage so forth could contaminate to the point that it would be refused. I use multiple scents on my gear to and I bet that could be it as well. Oh man its worth a shot. Thanks for that. I don't want to quit hell I honestly don't think I can. Been addicted so long and every trip out brings me things I can't get anywhere else
