So you heard the forecasts at the start of the year in the North of Falcon process, Pink Salmon fishing was supposed to be ho-hum this year. I think we can safely conclude that the prediction was a tad conservative.
The salt and now the rivers are stuffed with Pinks. If you read this blog early in the year, you know we predicted this to be the case.
I’ve missed a good chunk of August already due to fishing in Port Hardy for a week and trying to play catch-up on my return.
The peak fishing in the South Puget Sound has occurred over the past few weeks and should continue into this week. This post is more of a summary and run down of the opportunity in this coming week.
Blueberries are one of the healthiest foods on the planet and can be easily purchased at a nearby grocery store. However, berry picking is also one of the easiest and fun activities to get your family outdoors, harvesting their own food in the Pacific Northwest. There are plenty of U Pick options out there for a fee, but how about completely free U Pick blueberries?
Fishing in the South Puget Sound in July has largely been a grind-it-out program for most, though some may have it really dialed in. For others, it has been a significant challenge to hook anything. In this article, we will go through some of what we’ve been doing, summarize what we’ve seen and think, and project it forward to the month of August in terms of what’s coming up.
Have you ever wanted to make a trip to fish for Salmon in the Strait? Fishing in early July in the interior of Puget Sound can be good, but it also can be a grind-it-out affair as we wait for the bulk of the run to make its way inland.
Why not go to where the fish are? We will attempt to share everything we learned from our 3-day trip out west that might help you have a successful trip fishing the Strait for salmon in early July.
Crabbing can be one of the most fun things to do as a family on Puget Sound.
If your kids are like mine, they don’t love downrigger trolling or pulling up shrimp pots from 275 ft, but the much more relaxed and potentially faster action of crabbing is more their speed.
In this post, we will cover the crabbing report from the opening day on Hood Canal and some ideas for making crabbing fun for the whole family.
I’m sure you’ve heard something about the Marine Area 11 Salmon 2019 Season Opener at this point but are probably curious on what is the truth of how it went and what it means for the rest of the season.
We were out there on the water and will share everything we observed while on the water and what we learned later on compiling the various reports to equip you with everything you need to know.
Next week will begin a series of season openers for the 2019 salmon season for the Strait and interior of Puget Sound. For the last several years, I’ve attended the opener out in Port Angeles and had excellent results. This year may be even better, for a number of reasons we will discuss in this post.
The North Cascades is seriously one of the most scenic and amazing places in the country (planet?). This entire area is a must-experience for anyone who loves the outdoors.
On this trip, we decided to hike a more obscure trail off of Mountain Loop Rd. We got everything we hoped for out of the Island Lake trail and quite a bit that we didn’t.
If you’re like me, you find most store-bought strawberries to be basically inedible. They look red and appealing on the outside, but they are all white and tasteless on the inside. Disgusting! If you’ve never experienced the above-pictured berry, which is red and delicious all the way through, you are missing out on one of the most delectable treats of the entire Pacific Northwest!
