My springer plans had fallen through for the Cowlitz, but the fishing bug was burning inside me and I had to go fishing! I contacted Randy (rseas) and we decided to hit Lake Samish for kokanee.

Fished Samish this morning for the first time in years! Ever since my windows got smashed out I hadn't been back as it seems to be an ongoing problem unfortunately. With the AIS station there on Sunda...

I went with a couple of friends to Lake Samish at first light and had a great time hammering kokanee off of the kayak. We flatlined an old school lake troll (flasher) with a chrome and orange wedding ...

Despite water temps hanging in the low-mid 40s and my new fish finder sitting in a Kent FedEx facility, I woke my girlfriend up and packed the car to go spend our day off on the water. We hit the lau...

Hit the water by 8 am and trolled until 11:30, when the wind started really picking up. 4 lines in the water and not even a bite. Found a few scattered fish on the depth finder, but nothing schooled...

Hadn't been to Samish in a few weeks, so we decided to head that way and see if the lake had warmed up (it had!). There was a bass tournament on the lake, so the parking lot was overflowing with trai...

Bright Sunny day, so some friends and I jumped in the boat and fished the afternoon on Samish. We trolled wedding rings and kokanee lures, and while fishing wasn't hot, there was enough action to kee...

Got to the launch at 5:30, but broke my pump hose terminal while inflating my boat, so I had to do some goofy hose holding and took longer than I like to get everything ready to go. Got it done thoug...

Our maiden fishing voyage on “Red” is in the books. While we weren’t exactly under the spell of my usual kokanee mojo it was a good trip. Alarm went off at 4:00 and I was up, dressed, brushed and outs...
