EPIC Neah Bay Fishing ONE Day Turn and Burn - Salmon and Bottomfish June 2023

My crew and I spent one night in Sekiu to fish Marine Area 4 / Neah Bay for one day of EPIC Fishing on big chinook salmon and bottomfish, hooking them all day in shallow water around the many rock piles and reefs of the upper Washington coastline.

We hooked many quality chinook salmon amidst hooking coho salmon, black rockfish, yellowtail rockfish and ling cod, but we lost several of those nice king salmon in heartbreaking fashion.

We debated what we could have done differently: Was it our gear? Am I ready to give up on the mooching reels? Was it our technique of fighting big chinook? Or was it just bad luck? The debate rages on in our post fishing trip text threads!

Any fishing trip to Neah Bay / Sekiu area is already epic just by being out there, in the most beautiful of waters. This trip was no exception and we hope you get that vibe as you watch our video.
