Just cruising some of my usual web sites to find what other fishing opportunities look good.  One site I use regularly is the Salmon University site- check out this report out of Neah Bay:
                                          http://www.salmonuniversity.com/or_fishing_reports.html

I really like what they used for bait --Magworts .. so I guess the lures I bought for fishing Drano will be useful after all   ;D ;D

Last year I was trolling warts in the salt for silvers up in AK.  Sometimes I got a little too close to the kelp and I'd and pick up a greenling.  Later, when I was looking for greenling to use as live bait for lings, I pulled out the wart and trolled at the edge kelp.  The greenling action was fast and furious.  And big lings soon followed on them.

Polepole,

Hey, thanks for the heads-up.  That article was GREAT!  For me anyway.  You know me... I love the lings.  Can't wait to learn to surf launch with a little more confidence and then go out from either the west side of Neah Bay or maybe Rialto beach after some of the bigger ones.  Ahhhh, until then, there's always Sombrio beach.

If at first you don't succeed....  maybe skydiving is just not for you.

When you planning on going to Sombrio this year.  I may be all out of long weekends already.   :'(

First to Yakker,

Sorry for the mis-aligned credit Yakker.  I should learn to read a little better.  So thanks to YOU for a great article.  ;D  Lings have always been my favorite species to fish for since I started kayak fishing around the N.W. all those 3 long years ago.


Pole & Zee,

HELP!!!  I've fallen (into a make shift position in Tulsa) and I can't get up (to Washington for most of this summer)!  :'(  I've scheduled trips home for the major holidays, but I'm obliged to spend those with my family, as you might imagine.  At this time, I don't really know when I'll be able to make my way back to Wa. to work.  Could be as short as 3 more months or it could be a total of 9.  Since I can't find that out for a while, my plan is to throw caution to the wind and take 4 weeks off at the end of the summer.  I absolutely plan to have enough time off to easily make Moutcha Bay.  Beyond that, I don't know yet so I'm open to suggestions as much as 3 weeks before or after Moutcha.

This article that Yakker has linked really strikes a chord with me.  Surf launching and then fishing off of our west shore is a dream that I've been carrying for all of these 3 years that I've been kayak fishing.  :-[  I'm feeling a little bit like Fishesfromtupperware, except that the fishing in Ok. is a lot crappier than it is in Fl.  But, just like FFTW... I WILL be back!

I went out of snow creek on sat to no luck. Winds were whipping. Launch wasn't so bad, paddle out to the rock ring (At low tides when these rocks are exposed they are set in a ring) Took me about ten minutes to paddle there. Might as well have been on a wind surfer, when I went to drop a jig the wind shot me across the bay to two big haystacks. So I sat up behind those for a little bit and tried a swimbait. Nothing like the last time when I was nailing the blacks. So I paddle off the water and some coffe with Jake for a little bit then went home.
Snow creek will get there docks in the water some time this month. (kind of a sign that summer is close by)
I don't know when I will get back out there, but if anyone goes drop me a line.
This weekend I want to try Wentworth again. (T thats the lake we went looking for that one time) I keep hearing about the steelhead they drop in the lake. Anyway good luck to anyone that does go.
My buddy and I wil be shooting a video out at snow creek in july. Anyone want to join us.
