Chambers Bay

A few years back ravdakot was bouncing a jig for flounder in less than 10 feet of water when a Chinook did a drive by.   I think he got it on film too.

That could be exciting, especially if you've switched over to a light trout rod...

I've got it somewhere. I'll see if I can resurrect and post it back on YouTube

Here you go. We were in roughly 20 FOW

That's pretty cool!

No action at Nisqually delta on Saturday AM 6-10 on the incoming either. Fished salt and fresh. Saw 15 or so boats and consensus was slow going.

I was on the way back from Dupont yesterday and talked to a guy working the bank by where that pipe drains...He showed me a picture of a 16 pound king he took off the bank the same time the day before. Man was it a nice fish. Chrome like crazy and big. He used a white buzz bomb with a light green stripe down the side of it. Nice guy.
I might work the bank after work because of times constraints but I plan to hit it Saturday morning early...

All this talk about chambers makes me wanna go this weekend

Ha Ha. I am going back out there Sunday for redemption. Haven't checked tide times yet though. Let me know what time if you decide to go

Flood at 05:06, ebb at 11:42 with a fairly big exchange (+11ish to 0.5ish) for the morning cycle

I might try again too :-)

What kind of salmon are you all fishing for up there? I hear crabbing can be good there as well.

They're Chinook. There's a lot of rock crab there. Diving for dungies can be productive, but seldom in pots.

Trying my luck again. Come on out if you can
