I'm seriously thinking about quitting work and living in the back of a pickup parked somewhere between Quilcene and any other launch on the salt. Fished Quil Bay on Friday morning with my nine-year-old, and we caught two fish very early on an Eric's Prawn rig-- a snelled spinner made by Luhr Jensen and designed to be used with prawns. We were running a plug-cut herring on one rod and the prawn rig with herring on the other. Then it was a long dry spell without a bite until we were ready to pull out when we landed about an eight-pound fish on a plain herring. Didn't see a lot of fish caught-- maybe 10 or so for 30 boats.


Saturday, a friend and I ran from PT toward Possession but stopped along the way because we saw hundreds of jumping salmon. Once we figured it out, they were easy to catch. Small white Coyote dodger with Coyote spoon in green/silver 20 feet down. Worked our way back and made a run on Mid Channel to catch a king and another silver. Saw a lot of fish jumping in Mutiny and Useless bays. May fish there next.


This morning, I visited Pt. Wilson and saw four fish caught... mostly on bait. Didn't touch a fish.
