It is frustrating when blowies take your bait first before Bream or other targeted fish bite it.
Is hard body lures the only choice to use as a bait to avoid blowies?
Thank you
If i knew the answer to that i would be a very happy fisherman,i have been fishing there for years belmont/ascot/ perth,baits gone,soft plastics tails gone,hard bodies hooked up blowies,small metal lures hooked up blowies,all you can and try to do is move or just pack up and go home,i scuba dive in the swan river and the blowies bury them selves in to the sediment at night time
I can be so frustrating some days i feel like screaming!!!!!!!
They need to invent blowie repellent lol

I’m fishing in Washington on the West coast in the nisqually river to be exact. I was wondering how the tides affect fishing? what tides I need to fish. Why to fish these tides? Basically I need to learn the low down on these factors or if they even matter. I need as much detail as possible to understand this. I am also fishing for chinooks and cohos (kings and silvers) if that materrs. Thank you in advance.
The moon phase controls the tides. Usually, a big high tide during the nightime hours (which happens during a full moon) will bring a fresh batch of fish in from the ocean. Fish for these salmon in the first 5 to 6 miles of tidewater the next morning. Early morning always seems to produce the best bites. Troll cut-plug herring on good weather days. Switch to spinners when it rains. An incoming tide is usually better for trolling than an outgoing tide. Many anglers anchor and use a bait-wrapped Kwikfish on the outgoing tides, effective for chinook. At low slack tide, look for chinook to head to the deepest water that is closely available. Find that hole, and drop a herring right to the bottom. Jig it up and down about 18 inches, and sometime during that low slack period you should get bit. For silvers, throw a #3 blue fox spinner in pink, yellow or blue. Have fun and good luck!
