Well, the cold of December has definitely set in. On Sunday we fished Lake Washington and the temps were in the low 30’s with a 15 mph wind, but the large cutties are starting to show up in good numbers. Cutplug herring is my favorite go-to this time of year, set on the downrigger at between 20 to 40 feet. When the rivers allow us to get on them, there are still some chum up higher in the Snohomish River System — we have been averaging 20 to 50 fish a day, but that is fading fast with the first arrivals of steelhead! Many people just about loose their minds chasing these sometimes elusive animals, but what you are rewarded with is something that only few others can understand. I have been chasing these “steelhead” for over 30 years and know how to get into them pretty damn good. So if you want to get out and go catch some on my HEATED boat, give me a call.
