S. Sound reports?

[ibn]

Anyone been fishing the sound lately?

I hit browns point 3 times last week after work with nothing to show but a sculpin and some cool sunset pics. Have any of you run into any resident silvers yet?

Dude,
It sucks here at the Narrows, too. A few of us were out on Saturday and Sunday and only pulled a few fish off the beach. Hard work (or maybe just luck).

There is another option, I think. Which is where you come in... :) E-mail me about it. BTW, are you ready for squidding again?

[cascade kid]

Looks like its an off year.:(

Went today to the usual spot just to drive myself crazy. Nothing but:confused: casting practice, though the fish are there.:confused:

[RedFive]

Friendly,

How far out were they? You up for trying them again this weekend?

[Phil Fravel]

Quite a few within 20 feet. Still others out to 100. Some large sea-lions and a few harbor seals were keeping them in relatively close. I talked to Jamie and we talked about going Sat morning. but have company coming on Saturday so I'm up in the air. Meaning Ill see ya early.

[RedFive]

Early's fine with me. It'll give me a chance to decide whether to check out other water if it sucks. I'll talk to Jamie.

I hit Kopachuck on Saturday morning and found some fish working just at the edge of casting range. I managed 3 hook-ups and a few other hits but couldn't land a fish. Was at Titlow earlier but saw nothing happening there, figured it probably needed a few more weeks.

The Narrows should be turning on about now, last year things were pretty good at this time.

Getting back to Gig Harbor on friday. I will go drive my duroboat around by the fox island bridge and Fish off my beach. My friends fishing there tommarrow and I will talk to him. I will give you guys a report.

[Phil Fravel]

Just a update went to Docs place today and fished the outgoing tide through the afternoon. I fished from the park all the way down up to point Evans The whole time there I saw 4 fish jump No bumps no bits no action. I left there and went to Purdy for some more casting practice:beathead:

Anyone been out recently?

I hit a local beach this evening for about 30 minutes, I happened to have my rod/reel and a couple clausers stuck in the roof of my truck, so I made a quick pit stop on the way home to wet my line. Managed to land 2 sculpin! No signs of resident silvers though. This time last year was poppin.

[Ringlee]

The wind was bloing all day and I didnt want to venture out. If it is a little nicer tommarrow and less wind I will head on out in my boat. During those foggy calm days, it was pretty good fishing.

[Ringlee]

Fished the closest spot to my house which tons of people know about. Fished the last 2 hours of the incoming tide. The water was a little murky from the creeks right around there. Started out fishing searching patterns and hooked 3 and lost them. Worked the beach doing that and then throw on a dry fly for awhile and back tracked and hooked 1 small fish and quick released him. Then right as it started to pour down rain I was stripping in and I got a real nice boil. So I stayed for a little while longer but nothing was interested. Good to get back on the water!

How is Purdy Spit doing right now, I get home to late too se if anyone has been fishing

[Ringlee]

Fished that spot again and what a difference with the tide being a little frather out but coming in. A lot easier to cast but there were alot less fish. Got one boil on a dry and a hit on a tube. Water was clearer and there were a couple chum carcasses flowing in from the creek right there.

[avs16win]

How do you guys fish for Sculpin? I'm out there flailing away with the clousers and whatnot but what other patterns should I try??

[ibn]

I catch them on smaller clousers, I just fish it slower and bounce it along the bottom. You'll catch flounder this way to. Do you try different color clousers?

[gigharborflyfisher]

The spit has been sucking quite a bit, the tides have been really high and the creeks in the area muddy making the water look like tea... All and all it has been slow lately...

[Ringlee]

My reports were from purdy spit. It is really hit and miss there alot of the time.

[prosopium]

Just thought id add something

Been fishing about twice a week for the last month since i got back from bozeman. Went out friday and sturday to doc's and got skunked for the first time, Had a chance at a couple on friday but blew it. Sunday was real good for about 20 minutes, fishing at a spot in the harbor. Lots of fish jumping around up and down the beach, actually saw the two biggest silvers ive ever seen in the south sound, ended up 4 for 5 with 3 silvers and one cutty. Ive strictly been fishing the outgoing tide about the last 2 to 3 hours before the low. All fish on streamers out far, and stipped real fast. Thought id report it.

I played hookey and fished/crabed on Wed. Ohhhhh boy, talk about weather. I think it was about as blustery and wet as the sound gets. The fishing was pretty slow, almost every one of my favorite spots was chocolate brown thanks to the rain runoff. We found 1 nice school of residents that were jumping and managed to hook and land 1. Saw a few other random fish throughout the day but was unable to hookup. Did ok dropping the crabpots, got 5 keepers in 2 diff spots.

[Ringlee]

Well it's either the rivers being out or blowing wind and some nice waves pick your choice! Looks like the crabs don't mind the weather.
