Our March meeting was excellent as Paul Kim of PNW Guide Service gave us his boat squid jigging presentation. He presented the rod and reel setups, discussed about locations and his input on how to best set up a boat with lights, but we expected that. What we did not expect was so much details about the species and great info about preparing them to eat. He also spoke about his experiences with some newer technology, such as using electric motors which keep you on the spot without an anchor and the night vision equipment he uses to run safely at night. Thanks to Paul for all the great info.
Our April meeting is in two days after writing this. Ron Garner will be giving a Spot Shrimp presentation. I report back in the next Reel News.
In May we have a mystery speaker. It is not a secret, but I don't know who it will be yet. With everyone having busy schedules, sometimes the speakers are not confirmed until late. Check out our website www.pugetsoundanglers.net for the speaker and to get the current up to date information on club happenings and events.
As of this writing, North of Falcon just was completed except for a few loose ends. It is possible a lot of the details will be published by now, but the short summary is that Chinook quotas are smaller in most areas of Puget Sound primarily due to Snoqualmie Chinook having a tough year. My informed guess is that Chinook seasons will be open several fewer days in MA 9 and MA 10 as compared to last year. MA 11 will be better than last year I expect, but I won't guess on how many days. Coho fishing should be good this year and there is a solid improvement in seasons this year compared to last year.
We welcome all members and first time guests to join us once again on the third Wednesday of the month for our general meetings. Membership is only $35.00 dollars for the year and is good for an individual or family. Doors open at 6:00 PM & the meeting starts at 6:30 PM.
