All these negative reply's. If you dont like itdont go. I fished two years ago when it opened and limited two of the three days. Six of us in the boat. I didnt have a boat with 500 yards of me most of the time. Just because their is a crowd dont mean their are anymore fish thier than other places. From what I have learned fishing the sockeye in lake washington for the last 25 years when we were lucky enough to fish it that year is you dont have to be in the crowd. Now that said I am glad my boat is moored. Most people are good and know what their in for launching. But their allways is someone with the wrong attitude.

Right on, Troller! Maybe instead of screaming at the guy struggling with his boat, you might lend a hand! I've enjoyed this fishery since the early 80's and not had near the negative experiences I've seen related on this board lately. Sure it's crowded, but what popular, successful fishery in the middle of a major metropolitan area wouldn't be?

So you get up early or don't sleep at all.
You get in line at the ramp,and while waiting to launch, You get to watch an ongoing show of human behavior that at times that has brought tears of laughter to my eyes.

So now you and your gang are out fishen the show goes on.A fish swims right next to your boat with a dodger in its mouth,you net it,bonus, fish with gear.

It never seem to take us more then a couple of hours to get every bodies limit.

You get to go back to the Gong show at the ramp. \:D

Then the best part,fresh caught SOX on the Barbe
\:D

I've never had a bad day fishing for Socks on the Big Lake. When everybody is catching fish who cares how big the crowd is. It's like catching fish while tailgatting! Everybody's having a grand old time.......Let the games begin!

Right on. Lighten up, pay attention, get along and have a good time catching some of the best bbq around.

Yes, it'll be a circus but as long as everybody works together just a little bit it's a blast.

Some of the cranks around here sound like the guys a couple years ago trolling across or in the opposite direction as hundreds of other boats and got pissed at everybody else.

That said, I'm real glad to have a friend with moorage....

Good luck all!
