Not quite what I was referring too, but I guess I'll take your word on that....

Seriously - people fish down there with a rubber band tied in to the bait loop on their leader/hook.

WTF???

It's just to have something on there so you look legit.

your average skok fisherman thinks that a drop of mike's shrimp oil on their #14 black corky qualifies as bait. them kings don't like eggs, that's why we save them for steelhead...

Funny thing, you can learn more about fishing the Skok in Skok threads like this than you can by going out and fishing the Skok.

It qualifies as bait under the regs!

Tree stand would be my choice. Not only will you have a great view but can drop manpoo right out of your perch and keep it off the trails while feeding the tree.

I'd say something close to this size Chuck....

Alright now that's pretty funny. . .I've been trying really hard not to jump into this POS thread but now I'm sucked in. Quality material here for anybody trying to crack the Skok's secrets,

The ladder is just for spotting, to direct your 12 buddies down below where to cast and jerk.

Think ladder hover flossing.......a technique exclusive to the Skok

"hover flossing"



thats hilarious

i always love when the skok bashing starts....

the tide water free floating eggs can and still is some of the best king fishing in the state....coast rivers excluded of course.

My buddy was working near there and took a drive to check it out and said the indians were netting a bunch of em and he could see em in the river swimmin around. Kinda early but maybe that means that 29k they predicted may show. Should be so good that you only need step ladders.

does J & L guide on that river ?

I saw J&L was running some skok specials on ebay. Payment must be made in full as soon as trip is purchased.

Does he supply the ladder or do you have to bring your own?

better bring your own as he prolly won't show.......

You guys are so mean.

I love the Skokomish.

Fish on...

I just booked the opener with J&L, sucks to be all you losers at the snagger hole at Purdy Creek!

Simple, the band tied in along the egg loop is there to hold the sand shrimp. Larger diameter of the band helps avoid cutting through the soft bait. The band is tied to come out the top end of the knot to facilitate replacing the bait on the hook below the float.
