2018 Salmon for Soldiers

We took out a married couple. Air Force and it was fantastic! First time salmon fishing for them and we managed to get 3 coho in Area 8-2. Short bite in the morning.
Our second time doing the event and highly encourage others to get involved. Very moving ceremony after fishing with several speakers and Vets on stage. They also had a BBQ for all who participated. Will be there next year, too!
 
Tom offered me the chance to deckhand for him but I had friends booked on my boat so I couldn’t. I want to do this event next year! Such a good cause. That said, we got six fish at shilahole that day. Next year I want to take a vet for sure, somehow I miss this every year
 
Hi, I fished the edmonds derby and the soldiers for salmon derby. edmonds was in my buddies boat ans we did not do very good. Out of 300 plus tickets sold they only weighed 150 ish fish. Not a great day to fish. At SFS we weighted in one 71/2 pound fish. Caught it on a small plug. I have been doing good on plugs this year. Fun to fish with out a flasher. its just makes the fight better. I have also gone to breakaway flashers only for the same reason and I just love it.
