    Default skunked in '05


    I have been steelhead fishing a couple times this year (2005) without any luck and I just realized i have not caught a fishi yet this year! Anyone have any ideas on the quickest way to solve this problem locally?

    Urbanfisher if you want to catch a fish go to the skykomish and drift eggs. You'll probably catch some dolly varden in a couple hours.

    Huge and I mean HUGE smallmouth bass can be caught out of the ship canal. Carolina rigged plastics do the trick everytime. Drag them on the bottom as slow as you can stand to.

    There are two humps just outside the mouth of the ship canal (on the Lake Union end) that hold crappies and schools of perch year-round. You can't miss them if you have a depth finder. You can also find roaming schools of crappie and perch in the middle of the channel on the L. Washington side.

    The skykomish is really bad but if you wait a while it should be ok .
