There is one hole in Seattle no more then 10 minutes away from my house where I can fill my freezer with Salmon w/ just 1-2hrs of fishing. No lie. In the middle of the heavily polluted, industrialized waterway of the Duwamish lies a spot where fishermen & snaggers come together and target Pink Salmon(Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). Pink's main run are an odd year species, meaning their run is every other year. So we had a run in the summer of 07', the previous run was in 05'. During the month of August I would wake up at 5am every other day to fish the bridge, with limits always every trip. It was so easy, some days I would get 12-18 hook ups. I had so much salmon I would give it away to family, friends and neighbors. Can't wait until summer of 09'!
btw, I also landed one of the biggest Pinks ever seen on the bridge. Most of the guys there thought it was either a king or coho. it had to weigh around 8-9lbs. CE'YEAH!
