By: Frank Campbell The Niagara River salmon run started slow due to record warm water coming from Lake Erie, which led to a delay in the salmon looking to return to our river. The beginning of our run took a hit because of record warm temperatures. However, at the end of the September we got […]
By: Dave Manners So far it’s been a decent year in Tillamook Bay and our tidewater. We’ve had highs and lows. There have been large waves of fish and there have been some days where they haven’t bit as good. With that said there’s still fresh fish on the way and we’ll be salmon fishing […]
By: Troy Whitaker While anglers are still catching fish daily the bulk of the Chinook run has come through Rogue Bay. However, the Indian Creek fish and the silvers are just starting to come in and we can expect an opportunity to catch salmon in the bay for at least another month. Action isn’t as […]
By Andy Martin The bite was like any other when a salmon strikes an anchovy or herring while trolling in a coastal bay. Tap, Tap. Slight pause. Rod buckles over. But seconds into the fight, the guy sitting in the front of my jet boat knew the salmon at the end of his line wasn’t […]
By: Mike Bogue It’s normal for the salmon bite on the Sacramento River to be on and off in August. The heart of summer typically doesn’t bring great fishing even though the river is open. Meanwhile, we are getting fish daily, but are having to work for them. This isn’t a reflection on how the […]
By: Pat Abel They’ve predicted 940,000 Chinook down here at Buoy 10, but I’m not seeing it. Buoy 10 is tougher this year than it’s been, but I am getting fish daily and some dandies. On the other hand it hasn’t been easy like it’s been the past few years. I’ve had to work my […]
By: Andy Bliss During the spring and early summer the salmon on Lake Ontario can be anywhere. Normally, the majority are in the west/central part of the lake. However, as their biological clock starts ticking many head home to the Salmon River corridor. That time is now. Like clockwork the eastern end of Lake Ontario […]
By: Mike Barksdale With Buoy 10 still slow to kick off and anglers having to work hard for bites in the Columbia River I’m running offshore and finding fair to good action daily. Action has been consistent offshore with a mixture of Chinook and mostly coho showing. The coho we are seeing are much larger […]
By: Tim Bouchard For a decade I’ve been running charters to catch saltwater salmon. During that time I’ve always run herring paired with a hoochie. To be honest when the salmon are thick you can catch them on anything. However, when fishing gets tough brining baits and adding color can help catch rates skyrocket. On […]
By: Chris Shaffer In today’s society getting kids out on the water can be a chore. In many households fishing has been replaced by video games, constantly cell phone interaction and indoor activities. Meanwhile, for parents looking for a way to get kids hooked on fishing look no further than Puget Sound’s sand dab […]
