Launched down out of the 1st Ave Bridge yeterday. Just a few other boats and not that many fish moving around. However, my buddy and I manged to round up 3. 8, 6, and 5. All bright with sea lice on 6 hits in about 5 hrs of fishing before dark. Very sporadic action but there are still a few fish moving in on the tides. Next week???

I stopped by the hatchery this afternoon. They have had 3600 coho return so far. Most of the coho in the holding ponds now are bigger than the coho I saw two weeks ago. A lot of jacks in the holding ponds two weeks ago.

Bossman, were you fishing the river above 1st ave or down towards Elliott Bay? Using wiggleworts? How about a little more information.

Thanks

Busy,

We were trolling plugs upstream from the launch.

HI CARL, ya it was nice to meet you too, as soon as i saw the daredevil, i thought, that must be easy limits, who but him would use that!!! lol, i wasnt in a talking mood that night, sorry if i seemed like a ****, my life has sucked lately, but not the fishing... fishin chick, message me if you want to hook up and go fishing, im allways lookin for someone to go with..i ask all my family to go, but all they give me are excuses why they cant and i dont know any other fishers out there..

Nice to have met you to BB75. Been down to the river this week? I stopped by the river on Wednesday. Still same ol' problem, lots of fish but no takers.

Fished the green today for silvers. Man the Highway 18 parking lot is still crowded so I again opted for another area. Had the river to myself. Only hooked one, and landed it. It was the biggest silver I've ever landed on the green, about 15 pounds, but it was dark and I'm pretty sure it was a native because it had a fin and hatchery fish usually don't get that big on the green. Ah well, it doesn't look like there are any bright fish left in the river. Can't wait for those chums!!

We fished the Carbody hole on friday morning. Watched the usuall snagfest. Moved down to the sandbar dogleg and saw lots of fish going psycho unlike the carbody. Watched the guy next to me snag 6 fish. Another guy walks up and starts fishing. Every cast he would rip the line at the end of the drift. I finally saw what he was using. A 4/0 bare hook and lead. Explains why he never brought the line out of the water untill he was starting his cast. Obviously not wanting us to see what he had on. Once again i left in disgust. But then i saw the game warden. And quickly pointed out the 2 guys at that hole. $500 bucks a piece and all their gear, bye bye. Warden said undercover officers are there almost every day now. Nothing but smiles from then on. An awesome day!!!

i havent been fishing the green or any river for that matter, im jus waiting for the chums, the silvers are allready turning and there isnt a whole lot below 277 and plus its getting dark way to fast now that time fell back..why cant we keep it the same..dangit..

BB75, if you don't want to "wait for chums" head on over to Hood Canal.

When do the chums start showing in the green. Are they the later winter run. I have read their are three runs a summer and two winter runs.

I have heard of chum sightings in Elliott Bay and in the lower Green lately. They are probably just waiting for the silvers to move along. In years past, I have seen chums thick in the lower Green around Turkey Day. They get up by Flaming G by the end of the year.

troller, I thing you may be getting steelhead and salmon runs mixed up.

There is are summer run steelhead, then there are the winter run steelhead. The winter runs are usually broken into 2 distinct categorties - hatchery brats and native fish. The hatcher fish come in the early winter and the native fish come later. This is why many or our rivers are closed after February the last few years - to protect the wild\native fish.

In the summer, the green gets some kings, then some silvers, then some chum - in that order - starting in Sept and ending in Dec.

There are chums up by metzler usually by mid-november. They're usually around there and Flaming Geyser till about mid december. So start looking for them in about 2 weeks or so. For now, yes head to the canel and rip some lips.

Sturza, did you make it over there yet? Or are you waiting for the weekend?

Naw I haven't made it over yet. But I've heard from some guys that fished Thursday and did really well. So if the indians don't too much netting it should be excellent over the weekend. I'm fishing the Green tomorrow for silvers, then doing hoodsport on Saturday.

Right on, I will be over there on Sat. also. I will be in a friend of mines boat anchored up in front of the Zone for some

Fished the Green below Highway 18 at the carbody hole. Nothing but dark silvers. I don't think I saw one legal fish caught. I foul hooked 3 and released them, nothing i could've done, i just lifted my rod tip up slightly and they were hooked. That drift is not very much fun to fish at all. I think I'll stick to my other spots where I can throw my spinners towards aggressive fish. Well I'll be at Hoodsport tomorrow. I'm the 15 year old kid in a small smokercraft with my dad and my little 13 year old brother. Say hi if you see me, it'd be cool to meet some of you all.

Cool, I will keep an eye out for ya.

Hey Sturza, were you in a tan and red stripped older Smoker Craft on Saturday at the Zone? Where you wearing a bright red knit hat?
