Northwest Fishing Reports

I was planning on heading to the cascade october 11th. The skagit is closed on the 11th. Is the cascade part of the skagit?

$6800 Price is the nada guides LOW price. This is a very reasonable price for this boat. And this price is for the hull, kicker, and trailer only. Main motor needs replacement or rebuilding. One cylinder is bad. It is was a 2500 dollar motor and a plug and play 250 hp replacement can be found at bay...

How far upriver can one reasonably go upriver with a 22 foot fiberglass bay boat? I was thinking of trying for some fish on a hide tide. I was thinking I would just use the trolling motor and ride the tide both ways.

Does anyone know if the stilaguamish silver run comes through deception pass or around the corner through possession like the snoho fish?

thanks for the info on reporting derelict pots. i lost a pot the other week when the wind storm came in. these last few i dropped in a very wide open flat sand bar that is 20-70 feet deep. there is no way they were lost

I had three crab pots stolen in 2 days near the green sign near the barge right outside Everett harbor. Is there always an increase in crab pot theft near the end of the season? A friend of mine refuses to crab near other well known spots and goes way out of the way to insure no crab pot harassment....

Ive been fishing and crabbing MA 8-2 about 4-5 days a week. Getting a lot of crab but not a lot of fish. I was strictly a fresh water guy until last month so I could use a little help with locations and learning how to use the fish finder/gps. Also sharing some of the gas expense would also be helpf...

Hi,

I fish MA 8-2 about 4 times a week and always have an open seat. I think it may be a little far tho since I launch out of north everett.

How do you catch cabezon??? I have been trying this whole week trying to catch them around hat island. First I used shrimp and caught a million flounder so I gave up on that bait. Then I switched to red, brown, orange, and crab colored plastic grub type baits on 4 oz jig heads and jigged them off th...

oct 3 is the last netting day, hopefully it picks up now.

all the fish there are stone cold lock jawed. the only fish being caught are from snags

Ya know its closed till tomorrow right?

no didnt know

hit up the jail hole yesterday, nothing

went to the skagit today and a few days ago. super slow.

i fished the skok yesterday and there are fish being caught but i will never return to this river as the people fishing there are anything but accommodating. i can handle combat fishing, as i frequent the puke, but the skok is just a joke. some of the guys i stood in line with were pretty good, but...

Is there an optimal plunking rig to maximize bite feel? I was using a three way swivel and a dropper with 3oz pyramid and could barely feel bites. I also tried using a snap swivel above the main swivel with a weight directly attached to the slider. I caught some fish, but i think they all swallowed ...

i covered a ton of water on the snoho today, even in the estuary below the train bridge and didnt see a single school of them yet.

I read that the sol duc dosent have much bank access, but maybe that was during high water. I read on the regs that the area near the hatchery is not open. Is it easy to hike around and find spots without waders? or mostly private land

going there tomorrow to maybe try for some sockeye.

I don't like to have my braid seen, I attach 15# test maxima leader to my braid (albright knot from braid to 15#)and then run float and weight on that, down to swivel and then 8# or 10# test maxima leader to jig. I pre tie all jigs with 20 inch leader and attach swivel to other end. I can change ji...
