My husband and I decided to have a little dinner picnic at Brown's point and do some fishing. Got there around 6:30, saw one guy walk out with a fish. I started out with a 2" pink buzzbomb but decided to switch it up to a jig. I picked out one of Toni's WannaFishaLure, I believe one of her Dash point specials, but without a trailer hook. It didnt take long before I hooked into the first pink of the day. The bright fish put up a great fight for its size. It was also a rather large pink, probably around 6 or so pounds. I believe the Wannafishalure pink jig is a quarter ounce. Its lighter size than the buzzbombs allow it to be fished slowly and higher in the water column. I did not see any other fish get hooked while I was there. As the sun began to dip behind the mountains a group of curious otters gave us a little visit. Then shortly after I get a second hit. The fish jumps straight out of the water just feet from shore. Another great fight and a second fish bonked. This fish is bigger than the first one! These Puyallup pinks are much bigger than the Hood canal pinks. I end the day with two large pinks, both caught on the same jig. Lots of other fishermen and no one else hooking up. Thanks Toni! Both were bucks and both had underdeveloped sperm sacs. Oh and just an fyi, a seal came and actually swam right up to the beach between fishermen to see if there were any fish lying around, so keep an eye on your catch!

Good for you and thank you for the report!! Is there a loop in the tail of that Jig? If there is you can put a trailer hook on. I did that for the short strikers I would see. Also I could see them with it in the mouth shake the head I would jerk and have my jig all by its self. So I figured I would stand a better chance with the trailer hook.

Excellent report! I am going to check out those jigs. The Hatchery Hood Canal pinks are usually smaller and come in earlier.

that's amazing as I was there from around 4pm to about 5:30 using the exact set up but had to leave for work issues! haha so if you heard of the guy who was fishing in waders and a suit, that was me! lol
Great job and I will be posting a report soon from my boat today and the only pink caught was on the same jig..
