Egg it's legal to fish the salt beyond the river mouth. Make sure you understand the reg's definition of a river mouth...page 12. I draw a line between the outermost uplands containing obvious dryland vegetation. The guys out there are pretty savvy so follow their lead. Think small even down to size 10 in pink,purple or black.LOL laugh
Dan S did you ever have one of those moments(several hours actually) where your entire fishin world was nothing more than a tiny 20 square feet piece of water? Nothing else
!? Even the Quilcene snagger zoo disappeared from my world. They just weren't there anymore...just me, my rod, and that dammed tiny piece of water. And more fresh from the salt silvers than I've ever seen in such a tiny space. Sorry to Rich G and the Kid but I'll take moments like that any time and place I can get them. It really takes a lot to unnerve me to the point where rerigging another leader...and gawd almighty there was a painful lot of them...is affected by shaking hands and fingers that don't work anymore. eek Sorry to rub it in Dan S laugh . By the way how the heck can I get a 1025c...real soon?! My Lami lost its ceramic insert on the first guide by the time this was all over eek. And I suspect I overstressed the butt section at it's base.

Enforcement in all of east Jeff Co is one guy to cover the Quilcene, Little Quilcene, Dosewallips, Duckabush, Hamma Hamma plus Pt. Wilson, Marrowstone Island and everything else in the area thats hot now. He's been nailing the heck out of the snaggers on the Quil but he's all by himself. The interesting thing is that the tickets he's writing have addresses like Bainbridge, Bremerton, Poulsbo, Port Angeles, Olympia, Tacoma,Seattle and mainly other non Quilcene locations. Yeah there's a large Quil bunch but from my talking with this officer the huge majority of violaters are nonlocal. Is this representative of our recreational sportfishing community(I am not referring to members of this BB)? Quite a few of the snaggers are wearing top of the line neoprenes, fancy vests, packin better rods/reels than most, you know the well equiped sportsman. One group was talkin about fishin for steelies on the Quinalt. Would they never consider snagging or keeping a foul hooked Head? Makes me wonder.
Anyway peace to you all. I am back to my little bit of nirvana about noon tomorrow.
HooYah!!!!
Always FishOn!
