Joined King Katosan over the weekend to "deckhand" and help put his baby girl and her boyfriend on some king action.

Calm seas and gorgeous weather made for a perfect day out on the big blue pond, but fishing was TOUGH. By 2pm we had only one fish in the box!

But I've learned to never despair when Katosan is at the helm. We finished the day 8 for 11 fishing 3 rods... 6 kings (2 undersized) plus 2 hatch coho... 3 other coho that fell off. The young couple were pretty stoked.

My favorite shot of the day....



Returned Sunday to gloomier skies and blustery seas with the intent of targeting bottomfish in a faraway spot 25+ miles to the north. When we got there, weather and water conditions made it impossible to effectively fish.

Settled for 3 black rocks, an undersized ling, and a LARGE oversized ling that won the battle... oh yeah, 5 for 6 on coho as well.

Sorry, no pics cuz it was too wet and rough to get decent images.

BIG tides and GRASS should take care of that.

Loc: Somewhere on the planet,I hope
Hopefully not but as always expect the worse and hope you dodge the garbage. I am about to commit the ultimate sin. Fishing has been from good to off the map in Willapa. Folks should try it out as a lot of effort went into getting the new policy put in place. If the Recs do not fish in numbers to get the numbers harvested anticipated then next time around THEY WILL GO TO THE COMMERCIALS. Facilities are limited but can be overrun with crowds so put some thought in on when / where / how you want to do things.

That simple. Don't like crowds then your in need of a plane tic to Alaska for solitude. This year the 2T fishery will probably be the Recs salvation as it can operate regardless of the conditions in the bay driven by the warm weather.

Now if ones thoughts are yeah NT Nets gone but don't say anything because others will come and join in then not much one can do to help ya.
