Puget Sound is truly my happy place, and I've been waiting for the return of the summer salmon fishing season.

It felt so good being back on the water after a month plus of no fishing! I had ample time to prep my Lingcod gear for the Puget Sound opener and was ready. We launched at Shilshole with a bit of confusion on whether the launch and parking area was open or not, but we managed to get the boat in the water and zip up to nearby Meadow Point to catch a …

I poured my first cup of coffee at 4 am this morning with the sound of heavy rain outside my kitchen window. It would be a soaker during our morning mooching trip. One of those rare summer rainstorms that makes you feel like we have time-warped straight into fall. It was the first time I have prepped the boat, gear and bait donning full rain …
Josh and I headed out very early this morning for a few hour mooching session before work. I have trailered all month, and finally have my moorage figured out. Having a boat moored is the only way to go during summer salmon season, especially for quick trips like today. We motored out of Shilshole, filled my bait cooler with water, threw a couple …
We skipped yesterday's Puget Sound Chinook opener, but made it out today and it sure was a good one! The crew comprised of my two good buddies Ross and Chris, and of course boat mascot and salty dog Miles. Last week was his tenth birthday but he's still barking at seagulls and diligently stares at the end of the line nervously, waiting for a slab …

Saturday offered us the perfect tides and weather to share a little salmon fishing action. I invited a few of my favorite coworkers, who rarely get out on the salt, and we had a great day fishing in Marine Area 10. After dropping a few crab pots, we raced over to Kingston to do a little mooching. I did bring the trolling gear, but I wanted to …
Took a couple really cool clients out on Sunday and the chew was on! Mooching is a great way to really connect with Puget Sound's salmon, and once you feel your first mooching bite, with the rod in your hand and get to battle a beautiful salmon on light tackle, it is difficult to transition back to downrigger fishing. Yeah, that mooching thing …

Seattle - Jeff Head Blackmouth Fishing Trip We headed across the Sound at the break of dawn. The morning was calm, and the weather forecast looked good. Winter Blackmouth fishing has been very good.

Blackmouth Fishing on New Year's Day Marine Area 10 opened for salmon fishing today, and going fishing with Evan and Chris was the perfect way to kick off 2019! I met these two salty Ballardites at the Shilshole Marina, where Evan had his boat moored and ready to head out. I can't explain what it is, but idling out past the breakwater before …
