About 15 years ago the Samish was a nice place to fish. Not nearly as crowded or as much snagging going on and everyone knew everyone there. I quit fishing there about 10 years ago. Things got to crowded and to much garbage being thrown around. The clincher was a couple of drunks getting into a fist fight over a snagged boot of a fish. Although comical watching these two idiots rolling around in the mud, the blood, and the beer it was all I needed to see to never fish the Samish snag fest again. I will on occaision head down to watch the show. It is good for a laugh or two.
