Unfortunately, the wrong party got spanked, for 2 in a row. Yes, we are talking skunkage. I even had my son and two of his friends with me, Issaquah schools still being on strike, so we had four rods working. I fished high in the water, I fished low in the water. I fished large stuff, small stuff, shiny stuff, dark stuff. Stuff with scent, stuff that had been washed with lemon joy. All we had to show for 4 hours with 4 rods was a 4 inch smolt.

Excellent numbers of fish rolling around, lots of folks fishing, but I didn't see a fish caught all day. One guy I talked to said he fished for 12 hours yesterday, and six hours thus far today, with one hit that didn't stick to show for it.

So, I guess I'd recommend that you all stay out in the salt until we get some rain.

This is starting to get my dander up. I'm warning you, fish...
