Should open Mar 1 for Blackmouth!

Yep, join the jiggers. All the ones that I have caught have had herring in their bellies. That is me in the Zodiac at 4:35 timestamp. Interesting information that they are Northern and Central Sound run. Look forward to seeing you out there again and you might see me in Neah Bay on a good day.

Yup, same, herring in the belly. I love that you found my video! I was waiting for someone that was in the shot to comment :)

Looking forward to seeing your Neah trip. I'll be out there for the first time the following week with the fam. Little intimidated!

That's awesome, you won't regret it! It's one of my favorite places! Enjoy it all, don't worry about how many fish you are "supposed to catch" and feel free to reach out with any questions.

awesome video! Thinking of try next year's june. Do you know is there a chance for guys without a boat to catch these off the beach with Zzinger's or similar lures?

Thank you! I’ve not done it from the beach, but I know some guys do it from the pier or from beach near the Point on super low tides

Learned a lot watching your videos! You’re awesome man. Hope to see you one day. Happy fishing!

Great vid! We can’t seem to get a fish until late July. Every time we go out from July 25- when the seasons closes we get at least 1

What are your thoughts for bank fishing these June fish? Or do you need to be in deep water? Thanks for the video!

@PNWBestLife

Жыл бұрын

Never done it, but…there’s a bank fishing program at the point on really low tides…when you have access to those deeper waters. Chinook like to chase bait into structure, so…the lower the tide the easier you can access that spot. Try it in July when it re-opens!

I’m interested in learning to jig this year… what weight is your puget pounder jig and what size hooks? Appreciate it!

I believe it’s the biggest one, 4.5 oz. 3/0 hooks

Hey can you do a video on how your fish finder is set up for salmon fishing, I have a lowrance and when I am trolling I can’t seem to mark any bait fish or salmon, or send me a message one what settings is best to put the fish finder on,

Interesting. I’m no expert on these, and really I haven’t changed many setting in my current or previous RayMarine, and it works great…

Actually, I just looked back at the WDFW News release posted here on my site: pnwbestlife.com/marine-area-11-fishing-suspended-june-2023/ "The current estimate of Chinook harvest through June 11 is 988 of the total harvest quota of 1,423 (69%); 1,036 of the total unmarked encounter limit of 901 (115%);" The above quote is taken directly from their news release.

@@PNWBestLife I seen that when it was released but that is after the fact data..... I was thinking it would be nice to see current data in the Creel reports so all to see rather than at the end when they make a closure and that was part of the reason. Transparency from the WDFW would be nice for a change. BTW thanks for responding to my questions....

@PNWBestLife

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, absolutely, I love this stuff! So...the challenge is multi-fold for WDFW: 1. They would have to change the reporting format, do the IT work associated with including more data 2. The numbers are not straightforward. They are all estimated with test fishing and effort counting combined with creel data. This is a direct result of anglers deciding to lie in creel reports thinking they will get a longer season. Instead it undermined the credibility of the data and required MORE money to be spent on test fishing that could have gone to raising more fish, or hiring more enforcement or any number of other good uses rather than making up for dishonest data sharing.
