We had Duane Inglin with Fish Hunt Northwest come to our April 19th meeting and did a great presentation on Kokanee fishing. Duane was well prepared as always with a slew of tackle and a couple of rigged up rods to show the various tactics to chase these tasty creatures. He even brought a sampling of planer boards for really creating a spread for trolling. I’ve seen videos of the boards before, but it is quite something to listen to how to actually rig them and fish them out of a boat. I thought it was neat how he converted some old manual downriggers to create a system to wind out and wind in the boards from his Allied Mustang boat. Quite the set up. He covered the optimum speed to troll and some of the go to tackle. Some of which is homemade and looked fun to build. We thank Duane for coming up from Olympia to do the presentation. Don’t forget to tune in to his show Fish Hunt Northwest on Thursday evenings on Facebook and Saturday mornings on Root Sports. Him and his cohost Tommy Donlin cover some fantastic topics and have some great guests on weekly.
Our May 17th meeting will feature Tom Sewid with the Pacific Balance Marine Management Corporation. I attended his talk at the Renton PSA Chapter in April and learned quite a lot about the program and their harvesting of seals in Canada. The seal and sea lion population is out of control and Tom’s group is working on harvesting some of the seals and aims to create a market for some of the animals. This is one talk you shouldn’t miss.
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.
