Was excited to get the chance to finally fish out of my boat for some Hood canal Chum. Unfortunately, they are being totally wiped off the face of the earth. Tribal nets, (many, many, many) nets everywhere. And they will be in 7 days a week, with the big commercial boats pounding them on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Saw only 4 fish caught at Hoodsport today, all day, by all the poor guys that are standing there all day, flogging empty water with their single barbless hook!

After being pushed off the ramp by Tribal boats while trying to get my boat out, I watched the totes being off loaded at the Cushman Powerhouse launch and thought to myself; "What a wonderful state to be a sportsmen."
