My summer/fall of fishing

[fballguy]

Haven't been spending much time at my computer so I haven't been to AC in a long time. Very happy to see a fishing forum! As much as I love my fishies as pets I love fishing too. Salmon fishing has been phenomenal this year, I got a boat and this was my 1st time ever fishing for salmon. Couldn't have picked a better year to learn. Here's a taste of the damage I've done. Lots and lots of pink salmon and a bunch of silvers make for a very full freezer.

wow that's a healthy pack of salmon you caught there:jaw-dropping:

Makes me want to try salmon fishing lol

where abouts did you catch those?

Caught them all in Puget Sound in the Possession Sound area between Mukilteo and Whidbey Island.

I think the run is pretty much over now. Trolled for about 4 hours today and not a bite. Very few boats in the area now too, so, I'm prpbably done salmon fishing for the year. I ended up with 30 salmon for the season. 23 pinks and 7 coho. I always fished with 1 other person in the boat with me and all of them combined for 28 more salmon. 58 total salmon caught and I only made 19 trips so I'm very happy with how it turned out.

Well it looks like the run is about over. Went out last weekend and didn't get a bite. 220 people checked by fish and game had a total of 9 fish. I'll have to get in a couple of lake fishing trips just to get all the saltwater off the boat before I cover it up for the winter.
