11/6/2012 3:11:00 PMI don't know where you look for regs on the Humptulips,Toni, but it says in really easy to understand language on page 27"All species, Aug. 16 -Nov. 30,night closure and SINGLE POINT BARBLESS HOOKS REQUIRED"!Danaublatt, if you aren't reporting these poachers to WA. fish and game you screw over everyone who fishes legally, including yourself! DEATH TO POACHERS!(AT LEAST IN THE LEGAL SENSE OF GETTING THEM ARRESTED AND OFF THE RIVERS! Bob R

11/6/2012 4:01:00 PMI was there, this is a bogus report , you ever notice that a snagged fish tends to jump like crazy ? your fish was snagged thats why you lost it and it was a chum not a silver . try to have a better attitude and smile more its good for ya .
Danaublatt
11/6/2012 5:46:00 PMIt was definitely hooked in the beak but maybe a chum. I could be wrong there. I was a bit in awe with the graceful jumps honestly and as always I had a huge smile as I caught more fish than you solducsteve :)

11/6/2012 7:40:00 PMAnd I will rephrase my bogus report. I don't know for sure the three guys standing right on the point were snagging but the way they were constantly ripping their poles back made me think so. I couldn't see where any of their fish were hooked as it was just a bit too far away to tell and I was pretty busy trying to catch my own. There were guys fishing normally as well and not appearing to try to snag fish and I should have gave them more credit but they were all concentrated at the creek mouth. Also, I can't remember the last time I snagged a fish even by accident other than some shakers while trolling in the sound. So as to your question scubasteve, I do not know how a snagged fish jumps a lot. Sounds like you may have some experience though. The first chum I caught was hooked perfectly in the lower jaw clean through and put up a hell of a fight as well and was jumping all over too. Just not the same as the second fish. The fish I think was a silver was not close enough to examine the spots or gum line. It was still somewhat chrome with a bit of even darkness starting to show. No stripes though and an even line across the tail. Not a deep v. Honestly, I thought it looked more like a king but the way it was jumping just had me assuming it was a silver. So graceful and perfect like it was jumping up the fish ladder but just staying around the same spot working against the current directly in front of me with the hook clearly in the lower jaw. And like I said, it began getting crowded so I left. Shoulder to shoulder is not my style. And Bobr, sorry but I'm not going to call on anyone.

11/6/2012 8:13:00 PMI did look at page 27. I saw Aug 31 to Oct 1. Good thing that I don't fish there. AND apparently I can't understand "easy to understand language"

11/6/2012 8:34:00 PMDon't mind Bob R Toni. There are a lot of * on here and on the water. I appreciate your comment regardless. Thanks. And so Bob R totally understands, wdfw has changed regs in the area allowing things that are not in the regs. You gotta get online to see that stuff so it's not just about the handout these days. The hump is unaltered though...for now. A few snobby fisher people on here think they are fish gods and you just gotta laugh at them, then out fish them!! Fish ON!!!

11/7/2012 5:55:00 AMThere are NO emergencyrule changes online for the Humptulips(and that's where the changes are!),current regs in book ARE what is legal, I think that if you are going to post rule changes that don't exist you're pretty clueless, and complaining about snaggers and then trashing me for pointing out erroneous rule comments shows what a hypocrite you are, Danublatt. And Toni, You should check contents of reg books before posting, may save someone a ticket.Danaublatt if you are NOT going to call gamies on poachers then don't complain about it on line, just makes you look like someone with no backbone.If you think that calling someone a "*" makes you right then show me the rule change.Bob R
Danaublatt
11/7/2012 6:38:00 AMI said the hump was unaltered as in no rule change. Maybe you should slow down and reread my easily understandable comment. Then reread yours. I said some areas (like the chehalis) have changes you look to online. Just showing you its not all about the regs and page 27 like you so rudely threw at toni. I called you a * because you don't need to come at people preaching like you did. You can be a bit more polite in the future or just keep your damn mouth shut. And yeah, no backbone bud. More like I'm there to fiish, not sit on the phone on hold and do someone elses job.

11/7/2012 11:54:00 AMIf tellingsomeone where to find the regs they have posted erroneously by page # after they insist they are right is being rude you really should talk to some fish and wildlife agents, they'll show you rude. What lame me response! Try backing up your comments with facts sometime. Like solducsteve said try to have a better attitude(lol)If you find my comments so "rude" just delete them. but do a better job of posting, maybe you'll actually bring in a fish! Bob R

11/7/2012 12:48:00 PMI sure do wish I could catch a fish bob. That would be swell. I believe scubasteve was one of the amazing sportsmen at the mouth that day
btw. Peace out bobby. I will go work on my attitude now :)

11/8/2012 6:49:00 AMNO one should be calling anyone a *, and back and forths do no one any benefit. Both of you please read the terms of use you agreed to when joining this site.

11/10/2012 6:30:00 AMI find that my original comments also went over the line which shows how easy it is to go from civil to over the line sarcasm. My apologies to Danaublatt. I should have kept it brief and to the point.
