My old man flew out to the NW to fish the Fall season with me. We, rather he, is off to a great start and the fish counts aren't very good at the damn yet. Last year we had highs of 67k a day and the last couple of days it is less than 4k. It has hardly even begun!

His 1st fish was a 21.6 lb King


His 2nd was 25.3 lb King.


mobile fish count link, I watch Bonneville dam counts

I'm jealous. Salmon season has been shite in norcal...I mean absolute shite. Good news is that the lingcod fishing has been awesome.

Get up here and get a line in the water!

We are expecting another great year.

I edited the OP to add the fish count page.

I'm actually headed up to Coos Bay with a buddy next weekend provided the weather is right. We're trying to get some Albacore because the last few seasons have been bad down here.

That's cool that your old man flew out to get in on the action. Mine did the same in early December after seeing pictures of my crab hauls and rockfish hauls. We spent two days crabbing and then sent him back with probably 20 lbs of fresh packed Dungy meat and a bunch of fish. Mom was quite pleased.

It's August, I'd imagine you'll get a good weather window.

Good luck.

Yeah, he's been waiting for months to get out here. The first fish he caught was on my rod but I let him have it. I love to net fish anyway.

Especially these last 2, first 2 the girth in the 25# is pretty obvious. I thought I uploaded the same pic

Awesome time, bad thing is the strong tide is EARLY as hell for a few more days. Was on the water at 4.

I kind of think you did. I cannot spot a single difference. Fins are identical, knife hasn't moved...etc.

Good call, it could be 2 pictures of the same fish. Did you take more than one?
