The season is definitely winding down, but there are still Salmon in the river.
I love this fishery, the takedowns are awesome, since you are trolling about 3 miles per hour, to get the correct action on the pro troll. Also, if a fish does not stick, you do not have to reel up and check bait.
Looks are deceiving look at that flat bay, warm weather an no wind, and 70 degrees by 10am. Yet, the bar was restricted on Sept 27th and completely closed Sept 29th including grounding the fishing fleet.
Persistence paid off……and must say I am impressed with the SpinFish from Yakima Bait!
We finally called it a day about 3:00 p.m. it was a long day as we woke up at 4:00 a.m. and were probably fishing by 5:30 a.m.
