I am very bummed. I had planned to fish the Brewster Pool with my buddies James and Ryan, but my truck was still stuck in the shop, and I had to cancel. I even called Mike Mauk, one of the organizers of the Brewster Salmon Derby to see how the fishing was going up there. He reported that they are still catching very good numbers of sockeye. He said he was out the other day, and two guide boats passed him going back to the launch at 8:30. Their boats were full of clients and they had limits of sockeye. There are some anglers focusing on the kings and fishing is pretty good for them, too. I am going to miss this trip, but I want to get up to that area very soon. When we get a big run of summer salmon the fishing in the Bridgeport area can be terrific. I have fished this stretch for many years for kings in the summer and fall and know some great spots to trolling Super Baits. Back trolling plugs can be excellent, too. This is shaping up to be one of the years that Bridgeport can be hot!
I am netting a nice king several years ago at one of my favorite spots in Bridgeport.
