Last year the Tulalip bubble was very good to me, but the reports so far this season have been weak but I had to give it a try and it's close so what the heck. I see my first solid sign that it might be a good day when I drive by the buoy there is a bass boat with three guys jigging and the guy in front is hooked up! He lands a bright fish which was probably a hard fifteen lbs, I get set up trolling a spoon at 80 feet, heading back towards the buoy and the bass boat and they are hooked up again! I've done well there with a metal jig before I got the downriggers, and was tempted to switch but though I'd hang with the spoon a little longer. They lose the fish at the net and while I'm watching all this I finally notice my pole is bouncing [ not sure how long that was going on ]. After a nice fight and a Jerry Lewis net job I got a nice crisp 10lb King on board. You forget how hard it is to net a hot fish in real bumpy water by your self! So speaking of fishing alone I deicide to put out a second line as this is one of few if not the only place you can use your two rod endorsement in the salt. So after getting both downriggers set which is tougher than you think, [remember bumpy water and no one steering] the rod on my side goes off and it's fish on! I get my downrigger up and am kind of steering with my knee when the other pole starts bouncing. At first I think It's my fish hung up in the other line...... but no I have two fish on! So I slide over to the other side and hit the switch to bring up the other ball and thats when fish #1 comes unpinned, I reel in that line and grabbed the the other pole just as that fish jumps about three feet in the air and comes off. This all happened in less than thirty seconds and my heart is pumping, it's time to sit down, have a beer and to think about the lesson learned. I fished the rest of the day using half of my two rod endorsement!
