As far as Spring Chinook Fishing goes, today was a good one. My buddies at High Class Tackle made the trip down and we accomplished our mission of getting a first of the year Springer for Ryan in the boat. With an early departure for one of my favorite spots we put the plugs to work and work they did with multiple takedowns. These guys work for a great company and I was more than happy to help their boss reward them with a great trip.

This year's Columbia River Salmon Season is finally kicking off. The water is clearing up and the Spring Chinook are coming upriver! This little guy decided to fully hook this morning around 10AM. These guys are a special treat and this one is all mine!

What a crabby day! The weather was near perfect and three limits of beautiful dungeness crab came in on the first pull. The harbor porpoises played nearby and we all had a good time. Sometimes waiting an extra day pays off. Thanks to Gezellig Seafoods and European Groceries for packing everything up and getting it shipped back to Wisconsin for my clients! We even got Talon Rods in on the action with some crab snares for a little fun while we waited for the pots to soak. It got me wondering if there's a market out there for crab snare rods
