Fishing/Hunting/Camping in the PNW

[AbeSonic]

As many of you may or may not know I'm a pretty avid fisherman. I just got back from jetty fishing at Cape Disappointment in Ilwaco for Coho and King Salmon. Didn't have much luck except for a couple of Jacks here and there.
Now, the coolest thing happened while I was fishing. I got a surprise visit from a fellow R3v member who lives in Lynnwood. Forgot his R3v name but he goes by Ryan IRL.

Now, the purpose/hope of this thread is for fellow fishermen/women to share fishing locations, techniques, species of fish and of course pics! Now it doesn't have to be limited to just fishing. Hunting is cool too as I want to get into that sport. From novice to pro please post away. :) Now let me find some pics of some feeeshh....

I love the idea of this thread. We should have a backpavking/camping thread on here too.

Woo! Yeah man that was intense! We gotta head back out soon. Be awesome to find some local people too for road trip adventures.

I got some pictures I can post up later. If anyone's in the lynnwood area and wants a fishing buddy I'm around.

I like where this is going... If anyone wanted to come down (to Vancouver/PDX) I would gladly offer my couch to crash. I myself want to go up to Spokane area to fish for Pike and Musky

[Wardie]

Yeah we smashed some red tail surf perch yesterday at long beach. It's addicting!

[AbeSonic]

I myself know of some killer bass fishing both small and large mouth, Salmon when its in season, trout and if the WDFW ever decides to open Sturgeon fishing I know some spots. Crabbing is fun too. Haven't gone clamming yet but I want to try.

[Wardie]

Always down for the bass fishing of any sort.

The perch on the Ocean side of the jetty are FAT! if you ever see birds diving on the ocean side cast right into the flock.. theyll move and you cant get your gear to the bottom before you're hooked.

I've caught a seagull twice in my life lol Really fuckin awkward

[Matt-B]

As you know Abe, I bank fish mostly, pan for gold, going to this weekend, ill post some pics


Edit: I think we should post pics of the scenery where people are also, even if they aren't successful

I'm going to try saltwater fly fishing for cutthroat near where I live around gig harbor
It's supposed to be the best fishery of its type in the world, you can sight cast for fish, and the peak time Is in the summer

Yeah we murdered up at ocean shores last week, this weekend was alittle slower. Still got some fatties though. Just gotta find the school.

I dislike fly fishermen lol Mostly because it doesn't make sense how a fat ass steelhead around 20lbs+ would be interested in a little itty bitty fly.
