Went for salmon today using a buzz-bomb. I swear I hooked into one but it turned out to be a shark. Pretty exciting.

Good fishing, but what made this trip terrible was the lack of common sense on the Dash Point Pier. The Behavior by the few people there was appalling, offensive and completely uncalled for. For examp...

Went off the dock at Point Defiance and didn't even get a bite. I don't know if it is the weather or if the fish just aren't there. I was targeting bottomfish, primarily flounder.

Went fishing for about an hour and didn't get one bite. Nobody else was out there so I'm assuming the fishing is pretty slow.

My brother inlaw and I met up with his mom's good friend. We were out for about an hour or so and I hooked into this nice KING. This was my first salmon and what a fight it was.
