Ship Creek

has anybody been out getting lines wet yet? i'm getting edgy...i wonder if this this is what it feels like to be a heroin addict...lol I WANNA FISH!!!!

I swing by there because I live close. It seems pretty dead as of right now. I have the jones too though. It shouldnt be long.

Ditto that. Going to hit it up this weekend I think. Might try this week but still trying to figure out how I'm going to manage it with the new baby. Just took my older ones down the last 2 years, but with an 8 month old it may be a bit trickier. May have to temper my addiction to days when the wife can keep the kids this year. =/

didn't know they would bite on hoolies... may have to try that...do you use the whole fish, or cut it in half?

never tried either but i will give it a go this weekend. I'll be fishing right at the mouth. They might just be the new shiz niz when it comes to king bait LOL

walked around the creek today, across the dam, and by the mouth...no one out, and looks like no sign of life, the water was REAL low

I see guys fishing hooligan a lot down there. Never seen anyone catch one on them though.

 

[The Great White Hunter]

I checked the regs after I saw his post also. Good thing tomorrow is the 14th :topjob:

 

[B&C 04]

Took a drive down and looked around. It was about an hour and half before afternoon high tide and counted 5 folks total out fishing but didnt see any sign of life. Figure I will give it a whirl tomorrow afternoon for a couple hours.

 

[Raptor_1]

I'll start fishing the first week of June. The last couple years I've started down there wayyyyy to early.

 

[Sierra Dragon]

my plan is to start the next time the tide cycle starts conjunction with the morning opening. May 27th onward from my estimates.

 

[tigerflying]

Amen to that! Im itchin for fishing!!! I told the old lady that I might have to get involved with an angling club this year or Im gonna get myself killed hiking all over the wilderness slaying fish solo because I cant find other true fishing addicts to fish with. You got those who will come but you have to nearly drag them and hold there hand. Where are all the steelhead assassins and Red Slayers at. IM A BANK FISHIN FOOL!!!! LOL!

May 27th is when I caught my first king out of there last year. But folks had started picking them up about a week before that.

Where are the hot spots at ship creek? I could reaaly go for some good pointers. A google map snapshot marking the spots would help greatly I was soaking eggs early saturday at the mouth near the first bend and nothing.

 

[Raptor_1]

There are no hot spots down there. The snaggers hang out by the bridges and snag kings by the rocks (it's disgusting to watch) The bait fisherman fish from the bridges up to the mouth. Just find and open spot and start fishing. No real strategy to ship at all.

would you like grid coordiniates too? LOL just kidding. There is nothing really to tell, go find the channels and soak eggs.....fish before and after the tide........just that simple. You can use what every you want but just make sure your line is in the channel they swim up.
