My trip to Astoria has been postponed. Instead, I've been invited to go 'nook fishing in the South Salt. All I know is that I'll be near some place called "Todd's Shipyard".

What's the skinny in this area, seeing how I've never fished the South Salt? How deep are the nooks running? They near the bottom, or hanging at a certain depth? I don't think we'll be using riggers. Probably motor mooching/trolling.

Any help would be appreciated. Oh yeah, say "howdy" if you see me. I'll be in a sled - look for the guy with the Vision hat!

Parker,

Todd's shipyard is in Elliot bay. Right at the mouth of the Duwamish. I think if you did a search on Elliot bay, you could probably find the info that you are looking for.

We had a double header right in front of Todds at 5:30 this morning. We were dragging the balls at 30'-50' deep. Seemed to be a good bite going on for awhile. It was a real firedrill with just the two of us trying to fight the fish, get the net out of the bow extended and untangled. What a hoot! Don't know how I'm supposed to get any work done now...

Watch out for morons. We watched some old guy alone fighting what must have been a nice fish when a boatload of dipsticks trolled directly in front of the side he was fighting the fish on. I think they ended up with the old guy's line wrapped around their rigger cables.

Ok, I thought that name sounded familiar, but was told South Sound. Oh well. At least I know the drill.

Thanks,

Parker
