For those of you who are looking to pick up some winter crab, I'd advise against the Hat/Gedney Island area. We had planned to chase some blackmouth on the race track while the pots soaked. However,...

After being blown off the Sound in the morning, I decided to give the Lake a shot and at the very least de-salinize the boat. I ran up to the north side of the 520 bridge and set up gear that I thoug...

Was able to get in a double header today as the errand that cut short my morning chinook pursuit, didn’t take as long as expected. Tried a new area today and holy smokes, did it ever hold fish! Trie...

Hit the launch at 10am, being the 4th of July, I didn’t think the launch was all that bad and there was still plenty of parking to be had when I left. Had my line in the water by 10:30 at South Point...
