Species to target regardless of location or technique
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.
WDFW announced the upcoming 2019 Puget Sound Crab Season on Jun 10th with details on specific dates and locations. Every year this announcement is greatly anticipated as crabbing is one of the most fun harvest activities you can participate in from a dock or from a boat.
Shrimping in the Strait of Juan de Fuca out of Sequim Bay in June 2019 produced mixed results and some good lessons on bait and locations.
We’ve been out shrimping twice on Hood Canal so far in May of 2019 and would like to share some insight about those experiences that can help you plan your shrimping trip as well.
Just the trip through the San Juan Islands by boat on the way to Jones Island Marine State Park fills your cup for adventure and serene beauty.
The islands have always held a magical quality to me, in that I get really excited just being there. We camped on Jones Island for three nights and in this blog post, hope to cover enough to convince you that this is a must do camping experience, and how to do it successfully.
The 2019 Spot Shrimp season in Marine Area 11 was not expected to be as good as 2018, but we found great success near Vashon Island for hauling in these tasty critters.
