With several consecutive outstanding razor clam tides on the coast, we wanted to stay a few nights at an RV Park near Aberdeen WA. We ended up finding Hoquiam River RV Park after a brief search.

Lake 22 Hike
It’s fall and you might be looking to hit that popular summer hike that you are hoping has less foot traffic on it now. Lake 22 would not be such a hike, but the views and the trail are worth braving the crowds.
As we made our way down, we probably passed 30-40 people and saw another 20 staging near the trailhead with a completely full parking lot by 10 am on a Saturday in late October.
Puget Sound Crab October 2019
I finally got the boat back out on the water to try and get some crab on the last day of the season in Marine area 8-2 near Everett, WA.
Usually, this season remains open through December, but unfortunately this year WDFW announced the closure on Oct 24th. Why did it close early and how did we do?
River Fishing for Coho October 2019
River fishing for Coho translates to some of the best fishing experiences in the Pacific Northwest. We are talking multiple fish days, lots of hookups, and fast action combined with the amazing beauty of the changing seasons.
Olympic Peninsula Salmon Fishing October 2019
As the primary saltwater season in Puget Sound winds down and we don’t have an abundance of Blackmouth opportunities, the focus shifts to the rivers and in particular to the coastal rivers of the Olympic Peninsula.
Puyallup River Fishing September 2019
Except for a short stretch of 3 days, the Puyallup and Carbon Rivers have stayed in low visibility coloration for all of September. The fish are most definitely in and being caught consistently all over the river system.
Puget Sound Coho Fishing update – September 2019
Salmon for Soldiers is an amazing event where the recreational boating and sport fishing community get an opportunity to give back to the veterans who have proudly served our country. I highly recommend it for anyone with a boat and a desire to give back.
I also highly recommend it for any active duty, returning from deployment, or retired military. Words on a blog post and a few pictures do not adequately describe the range of emotions and the amount of positivity generated at this gathering.
Puget Sound Fishing Update for September, 2019
Did summer ever actually happen? Technically, September is still summer, but it sure feels like we are now in the fall. It doesn’t help that all the stores have Halloween stuff out, the autumn beers are on the shelves and the salmon are in the rivers! Let’s cover what the options are in September to get into some salmon.
Pink Salmon Fishing Puget Sound 2019
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.
Winter crabbing and going deep
My brother-in-law was in town and I wanted to give him a taste of the PNW Best Life, so why not go crabbing in December, right? The weather was an enjoyable 42 degrees, and the commercial pots had been out of the water for a few days which means there should be plenty of keeper Dungeness Crab to be had.
