Sara Gibson's life story is shaped by a loving childhood, hard work, and a devastating experience with domestic violence that changed everything. She describes losing her sense of identity, enduring profound physical and emotional pain, and feeling at times that she had nothing left to live for after the trauma and loss of her children. Even so, Sara refuses to be defined by what happened to her, saying she chose survival, sobriety, therapy, and honesty as the first steps toward healing. Her perspective is that pain can become purpose, and that speaking openly and helping others can turn a story of suffering into one of strength and recovery.(00:06:43) Camping Trips, Fishing, and Books with Mom(00:10:12) Swapping Shifts to Dodge Mandated Overtime(00:14:59) Muscling Through Papa and Amber's Devastating Loss(00:29:28) Kismet After Blown Veins and Hematomas(00:32:33) master manipulator warning signs and red flags(00:40:01) Drinking, monthly fights, and hostage-like control(00:46:16) The chambered round and arterial spray(00:51:11) Blood transfusions, respirator, and infected leg vein(01:04:44) Herpes for the Brain: Healing Through Purpose(01:06:56) Boxed Up Pain and Emotional Distance(01:12:03) Turning Pain Into Purpose Through Sobriety and Therapy

If I could go back to when I first started bass fishing and give myself five pieces of advice, these are the things I'd say. I wasted money on tackle I didn't need. I thought I needed every new lure. I fished too fast. I didn't always understand how important location and seasonal patterns were. And, probably most importantly, I took way too long to develop confidence in the baits I was using. In this episode, I break down the 5 things I wish I knew when I was a younger angler — lessons learned from years on the water, making mistakes, figuring things out, and hopefully getting a little better along the way. If you're just getting started in bass fishing, or you've been doing it for years, I think there's something in here every angler can relate to.

More than 1,300 feet below the surface of Lake Superior, scientists are investigating a fisheries mystery: siscowet lake trout that should be fat and robust are turning up strikingly thin. Researchers call them “zombie fish,” but the real story is less sensational—and still unresolved. In this episode of the Lake Superior Podcast, Walt Lindala and Frida Waara talk with returning guest Shawn Sitar, a Michigan DNR fisheries research biologist and science officer aboard the RV Lake Char, about what the team is learning from Lake Superior's deepest waters. From possible food shortages and disease testing to lake trout recovery and long-term monitoring, Shawn takes us into the science behind one of Lake Superior's most unusual recent findings and how long-term fisheries research helps scientists track the health of the lake.Notable quotes:“There's a famine event going on out there…they actually kind of look like zombies.”“We're not alarmed, we're concerned.”“Overall, Lake Superior is in a really good place…We have abundant populations of fish. We have a lot of biodiversity also.”“Recently we declared that lean lake trout, the one that's utilized by humans, has been recovered or in a rehabilitated state. That's a good sign.”“I'm glad to work on a system that is basically the most natural of the Great Lakes. Things are in good shape.”“Part of my duty is to communicate the science to everyone so that they have a better understanding and appreciation of everything around us.”Helpful links:Michigan DNR – Researchers Head to Superior Maximus to Investigate “Zombie” Fishhttps://www.michigan.gov/dnr/about/newsroom/releases/2026/06/08/researchers-head-to-superior-maximus-to-investigate-zombie-fishMichigan DNR – Fisheries Researchhttps://www.michigan.gov/dnr/managing-resources/fisheries/researchThe Fish Thief: A Great Lakes Mysteryhttps://www.thefishthief.com/Lake Superior Podcast – Shawn Sitar's previous lake trout recovery episodehttps://podcast.nplsf.org/1756982/episodes/16661302-s6-e3-the-lake-trout-resurgence-in-lake-superior-a-conservation-success-story-an-interview-with-shawn-sitarConnect with us:Lake Superior Podcast Page: https://nplsf.org/podcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NationalParksOfLakeSuperiorFoundationSponsors:Cafe Imports – Minneapolis-based importers of specialty green coffees since 1993, focused on sustainability.

How do you catch 24+ pounds of bass in roughly 90 minutes on the James River and Chickahominy River? Chaz and Jared break down their Elite 70 tournament win, including the perfect tidal window, an 8-pound largemouth, forward-facing sonar, the Koike bait, offshore cover, and the decisions that turned one morning into a winning Virginia bass fishing performance.The guys explain why they committed to making the run to the upper Chickahominy, how incoming tide, low light, current, grass, brush piles and stumps positioned the fish, and how LiveScope helped expose bass they already knew were living offshore. The result was a rapid flurry of big fish—including 4- and 5-pounders, a topwater fish and the massive 8-pounder that changed the tournament.We also get deep into the current state of James River and Chickahominy River bass fishing. Chaz and Jared discuss fishing pressure, tournament traffic, changing grass, drought and salinity, F1 bass stocking, why weights aren't carrying as deep through tournament fields, and why the upper Chick continues to produce giant largemouth even when other areas struggle.Plus, we talk about one of the hottest baits in tournament bass fishing—the Koike—and why they believe it isn't just a forward-facing sonar bait. From fishing it around offshore cover to throwing it without LiveScope, the guys explain why this unusual bait continues catching pressured bass in tidal fisheries.Topics include: • James River bass fishing • Chickahominy River bass fishing • Summer tidal bass fishing • How tide positions largemouth bass • Forward-facing sonar and LiveScope • Koike bait fishing • Offshore brush piles and stumps • Grass lines and tidal current • Tournament fishing pressure • Virginia bass tournament strategy • The changing James River fishery • BFL, MLF and tournament bass fishingIf you fish the James, Chickahominy, Potomac or any tidal bass fishery, there is a ton of information in this conversation about timing, pressure, offshore bass and knowing when to abandon your normal patterns.Sponsor List for episode description: Please support Fishing the DMV on Patreon!!! https://patreon.com/FishingtheDMVPodcast If you are interested in being on the show or a sponsorship opportunity, please reach out to me at fishingtheDMV@gmail.comGreen Top: https://www.greentop.com/ Jake's bait & Tackle Website: http://www.jakesbaitandtackle.com/ Fishing Pro Tech: https://www.facebook.com/FishingProTech Phone Number: (757) 566-1278 Email: lin@fishingprotech.us Fishing Pro Tech Address: 7812-A Richmond Road, Toano, VA, United States, 23168 Flint Financial Planning: https://www.flintfinancialplanning.com/ FITT Lures: https://bit.ly/4w5lgHt Max4 Fishing: https://max4fishing.com/#fishing #bassfishing #fishingreport #JamesRiver #ChickahominyRiver #BassFishing #VirginiaFishing #FishingTheDMVSupport the show

Your Crab Pot Is Losing Crab (Here's the Fix)Crabbing is one of the best fisheries in the San Juan Islands, and one of the few that keeps going long after salmon season closes. But a pot that is rigged wrong will lose crab on the way up, or let them walk straight back out while it is sitting on the bottom. This episode is the full setup, every piece, from the bridle to the buoy, plus the four things that make your pot legal in Washington.Episode Overview- Why an angled ramp entry holds crab and a flat entry lets them leave, and which pot to pick- The rope mistake that costs people gear: nylon floats, so it belongs on the bridle and nowhere else- How to weight a pot with a downrigger ball, and the zip tie step that stops your bait shooting out- What actually makes a crab pot legal in Washington waters- Why rot cord matters, and what to do if you lose a pot- The gear that makes crabbing off a boat easier, including mounts and a pot pullerTimestamps00:00 - Why crabbing is the season that keeps going00:26 - Welcome to Fishing for a Reason00:55 - Burnewiin mounts and a quick-switch boat layout01:50 - Why we use a pot puller even for crabbing03:12 - The McKay pots we fish, and why03:48 - The nylon rope mistake to avoid04:30 - No Escape ramps vs Fast Fisher flat entry04:51 - What a GoPro in a crab pot shows you05:10 - Weighting the pot, and the zip tie that saves your bait06:11 - Rigging it: bridle, sea links, 120 feet of leaded line06:49 - What makes your pot legal in Washington07:58 - If you lose a pot, report it08:40 - The mistake that jams your doors open09:15 - The Fast Fisher, and when a shorter soak worksKey Takeaways- Nylon rope floats, so use it for the bridle and leaded line for everything else.- 120 feet of leaded line covers the depths most people crab around here.- Zip tie any weight inside the bait cage, or the drop will push your bait out the top.- Angled ramp entries make it harder for crab to leave; flat entries fish faster but lose more.- Do not over-soak. Crab get out, and a long soak is not a free upgrade.- A red and white buoy with your name and address on the pot is the law, not a suggestion.- Rot cord means a lost pot stops fishing instead of killing crab forever.- A salmon head hung too near the door will jam it open and cost you the whole soak.Resources & LinksMcKay Shrimp & Crab Gear: https://mckayshrimpandcrabgear.comBurnewiin: https://burnewiin.comReport a lost or derelict pot: https://salishseaalliance.org/derelict-gear/WDFW crab regulations: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/shellfishing-regulations/crabWant more?Go to https://anglersunlimited.co/gold to learn more about our membership.

This week's episode is a full-on marathon — and it's worth every minute.We kick things off in classic Jigs & Bigs fashion before diving headfirst into a long-form conversation with Ken Duke that goes way beyond the usual fishing talk. We get into the phrase everybody throws around — “grow the sport” — and ask whether that's really the right goal in the first place.From there, the conversation opens up into the health of the fishing industry, the role of media, what makes content actually valuable, and how anglers, creators, and brands all fit into the future of this thing we love.This one is thoughtful, honest, and loaded with substance.If you care about where fishing is headed — and not just what bait to throw next weekend — this episode is for you.

Tonight Jim and Ed give a preview of the fantastic hunting and fishing opportunities coming up in October.

September 25, 2026September 25 is Dolly Parton Day and also National Lobster Day, National Lobster Day honors the cultural and economic history of the lobster industry, Lobsters have been vital to Maine's coastal communities, but were once scorned as poor man's food, It was fish that were central to the English settlement of North America, Scholars have called the discovery of fish in the Atlantic and the trade it sparked, the “Fish Revolution,” Fishing meant big money and British fishermen fished the Grand Banks and had moved into the Gulf of Maine by 1600, European fishermen brought diseases for which the Indigenous populations had no immunities and tribes were wiped out, The fish trade was so important to New Englanders that access to fishing grounds was written into the third article of the Treaty of Paris, which officially ended the Revolutionary War.To read this letter, click here:Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyYou can also find Heather at:YouTubeBlueskyInstagramFacebookThreadsTikTok Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

Episode OverviewGeorge Costa, manager of TCO Fly Shop in State College, Pennsylvania, returns to The Articulate Fly for another Central PA Fishing Report as the region shifts firmly into fall. Recent rain has pushed creeks across Central Pennsylvania's limestone country well above seasonal flows and off-color, but George reports everything is on the drop and should be fishable again this weekend, with cool water temperatures keeping trout active and comfortable. Fall hatch activity is picking up, with Isos (Isonychia), tan caddis and October caddis all showing well, and George notes a recent streamer bite that produced trout already colored up for fall. He and host Marvin Cash also flag a practical safety reminder: Pennsylvania's fall hunting seasons open October 1st, so anglers fishing shared public waters such as Spring Creek Canyon on state game lands should wear blaze orange. Away from the water, George runs down what's happening at TCO's shops heading into the off-season, including end-of-summer clearance pricing on Simms, Grundens and Patagonia gear, and a full slate of fall and winter fly tying and on-the-water classes across TCO's locations. Among the highlights is a class taught by Allen Rupp, Dave Whitlock's legacy tyer, covering streamer tying and the NearNuff Sculpin pattern. The conversation offers a quick, practical snapshot for anglers planning trips to Central Pennsylvania's limestone streams this fall: current conditions, what's hatching, where the fish are biting and how to gear up.Key TakeawaysHow to time a trip to Central PA limestone streams safely as high, off-color fall water drops back into shape this week.Why fall streamer fishing is heating up as cooling water temperatures push trout to feed aggressively ahead of the spawn.What to watch for on the hatch front, including Isos, tan caddis and October caddis activity as Central Pennsylvania moves deeper into fall.Why anglers should wear blaze orange on Pennsylvania state game lands like Spring Creek Canyon once hunting season opens October 1st.Techniques & Gear CoveredGeorge highlights a developing fall streamer bite on Central Pennsylvania's limestone streams, with trout already showing fall coloration as water temperatures cool. He also flags active Iso, tan caddis and October caddis hatch activity worth matching as conditions stabilize after recent high water. On the gear side, TCO Fly Shop is running end-of-summer clearance pricing on Simms, Grundens and Patagonia. TCO's fall and winter class schedule includes a streamer tying session and a NearNuff Sculpin class taught by Allen Rupp, Dave Whitlock's legacy tyer, alongside additional fly tying and on-the-water instruction across TCO's locations.Locations & SpeciesThis report centers on Central Pennsylvania's limestone stream country in and around State College, including public water on state game lands such as Spring Creek Canyon. Recent rain pushed local creeks well above seasonal flows and off-color, though George reports levels are dropping and the fishery should be fishable again this weekend. Trout are the focus of this fishery, and cooling water temperatures combined with fall hatch activity (Isos, tan caddis and October caddis) are setting up favorable conditions heading into peak fall streamer season. Anglers should expect high, off-color flows to continue to clear absent additional rain.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredAre Central Pennsylvania's limestone streams fishable right now?Yes, but use caution. Recent rain pushed creeks well above seasonal flows and off-color, but George Costa reports water levels are dropping and the fishery should be fishable again this weekend heading into the following few weeks.What fall hatches are active on Central PA streams right now?George reports good numbers of Isos (Isonychia), tan caddis and October caddis beginning to show, all typical fall hatch activity for late September into early October in Central Pennsylvania.Why is fall a good time for streamer fishing in Central PA?As water temperatures cool, trout become more aggressive and begin coloring up ahead of the fall spawn. George reports a recent streamer bite already producing colored-up fish, with more good streamer water expected over the next few weeks.Why should anglers wear orange on Pennsylvania state game lands this time of year?Pennsylvania's fall hunting seasons, including deer and pheasant seasons, open October 1st. Anglers fishing shared public water such as Spring Creek Canyon should wear blaze orange to stay visible to hunters using the same game lands.Where can anglers find fall and winter fly tying classes near State College, PA?TCO Fly Shop runs a full schedule of tying and on-the-water classes at its State College shop, including a streamer class and a NearNuff Sculpin class taught by Allen Rupp, Dave Whitlock's legacy tyer.

In this week's Northwest Florida Fishing Report, host Joe Baya joins Alabama Saltwater Fishing Report host Butch Thierry, Capt. Branden Collier of Capt. Collier's Charters, Capt. Tanner Deas of Dauphin Island Fishing Charters, and Dr. Dylan Kiene, aka Dr. Doormat, to recap a wild Panama City grouper trip that produced gag grouper, red grouper, red snapper, triggerfish, and plenty of lessons about fishing natural bottom. Joe and Butch also talk with Tom Hilton of Hilton's Realtime Navigator about using chlorophyll, sea-surface temperature, current, and altimetry imagery to locate productive offshore water and plan more efficient trips. Branden, Tanner, Dylan, and Butch break down what worked while targeting grouper on low-relief natural bottom around Panama City. Live pinfish were the most dependable bait, especially with aggressive triggerfish quickly destroying softer cigar minnows and dead baits. The group found that patience mattered, with some spots requiring 15 to 30 minutes before the grouper bite developed, and many of the best bites coming with baits laid directly on the bottom with slack line. Heavy 60- to 100-pound leaders still resulted in plenty of break-offs when gags reached holes and ledges. Slow-pitch jigging also produced, with JYG and Johnny Jigs getting bites when live bait became difficult to fish. One of the biggest takeaways was using electronics to find productive zones rather than relying on a single waypoint, then drifting and repeatedly working the surrounding natural bottom. Despite trolling-motor problems, engine trouble, a flat tire, and eventually breaking down offshore, the crew still put together a strong box of fish and emphasized the importance of offshore preparation, a hardwired VHF, and having Sea Tow available. Tom Hilton explains how anglers can use Hilton's Realtime Navigator to build a more complete offshore picture when individual chlorophyll images are limited by cloud cover. Three-day chlorophyll views combine actual satellite shots to fill gaps, while sea-surface temperature imagery can be used alongside chlorophyll and altimetry to identify temperature breaks, color changes, current edges, weed lines, and areas likely to concentrate bait and pelagic fish. Hilton also demonstrates the Trip Planner, which allows anglers to map a route, calculate distance and estimated fuel use, save the trip, and compare the same route across different imagery layers. You can watch the full Hilton's Realtime Navigator segment here to see the imagery and trip-planning tools discussed in the episode. With cleaner water and favorable current features pushing into the northern Gulf, the conditions discussed in this episode show why stacking multiple sources of real offshore data can help anglers spend less time searching and more time fishing.

Episode OverviewOn this Pennsylvania Smallmouth Report from The Articulate Fly fly fishing podcast, host Marvin Cash checks in with Captain Brian Shumaker of Susquehanna River Guides for an early fall conditions update as the smallmouth bite makes its seasonal shift from bugs to streamers. With surface temperatures dropping into the 60s ahead of an incoming rainy, cooler pattern, Shumaker explains why the region's smallmouth bass are moving off the shallow flats and staging in deeper pockets, and why the topwater bite has effectively shut down for now. The conversation centers on the tactical adjustments that come with this shoulder season transition: downsizing from a size 2 to a size 4 streamer, swapping an intermediate line for a floating line and nine-foot leader to slow the fly's descent, and building in a deliberate pause that triggers strikes. Shumaker also walks through proper streamer hook set mechanics, contrasting the trout set most anglers default to with the strip strike his smallmouth program demands, and explains how holding the rod at roughly a 45-degree angle off to the side keeps steady pressure on a hooked fish through the fight, which matters even more if barbless hooks are in play. Looking ahead, he outlines what an Indian summer warm-up could mean for a brief return of topwater action layered on top of an already dominant streamer bite.Key TakeawaysHow to adjust streamer size and line choice as Pennsylvania smallmouth water temperatures drop into the fall shoulder season, downsizing to a size 4 streamer on a floating line and nine-foot leader for a slower presentation.Why building in deliberate pauses on the retrieve is critical to triggering strikes from bass that have shifted from a topwater bite to a slower, subsurface streamer bite.When to expect the smallmouth bite to shift decisively from topwater bugs to streamers as surface temperatures fall through the 60s and days shorten.How to execute a proper strip strike and why to hold the rod low and to the side at roughly a 45-degree angle to keep steady pressure on a hooked smallmouth through the fight.Why fishing barbless hooks requires maintaining constant line tension, since any slack lets a head shaking fish work the fly loose.When an Indian summer warm-up could bring bugs back into play alongside an already established streamer bite for the final weeks of the season.Techniques & Gear CoveredShumaker's fall program centers on downsizing streamers, dropping from a size 2 Clouser-style pattern to a size 4, fished on a floating line with a nine-foot leader instead of his usual intermediate setup to slow the fly's descent through the water column. The technique hinges on incorporating deliberate pauses into the retrieve. On the hook set, Shumaker teaches a strip strike with the rod held low, correcting anglers who default to a trout-style upward set that fails to bury the hook. Once a fish is on, he recommends fighting it with the rod at roughly a 45-degree angle off to the side rather than straight up, which keeps steady pressure on the fish and helps prevent it from throwing the hook, especially with barbless hooks that rely on tension rather than a barb to stay pinned. He also touches on a topwater approach for warmer stretches, working poppers slowly with a pop-and-dead-drift retrieve rather than constant motion.Locations & SpeciesThis Pennsylvania Smallmouth Report covers Captain Brian Shumaker's central Pennsylvania guide waters as they move through the early fall shoulder season. Surface temperatures have dropped into the 60s and are trending lower behind an incoming rainy, cooler weather pattern, pushing bass out of the shallows and into deeper pockets and slower moving water. The bug activity that defined the summer topwater bite has shut down with the falling temperatures, leaving streamers as the dominant presentation, though Shumaker notes that a stretch of Indian summer in the high 70s to low 80s could bring a brief return of topwater action.FAQ / Key Questions AnsweredWhen does Pennsylvania smallmouth fishing shift from a topwater bite to a streamer bite in the fall?The shift happens as surface water temperatures drop through the 70s into the 60s and the days grow noticeably shorter. Bug activity falls off as the weather cools, and smallmouth bass move out of the shallows into deeper pockets, making streamers the dominant and most productive presentation. A stretch of Indian summer with highs in the 70s or low 80s can bring a temporary return of topwater action alongside the streamer bite.What streamer size and line setup works best for Pennsylvania smallmouth during the fall transition?Downsizing is key: Shumaker moves from a size 2 to a size 4 Clouser-style streamer. Rather than his usual intermediate line, he fishes a floating line with a nine-foot leader, which produces a slower fly descent that better matches the fish's mood. Deliberate pauses on the retrieve, rather than a steady retrieve, are what typically draw the strike.How do you properly set the hook on a smallmouth bass streamer strike?Shumaker teaches a strip strike rather than the upward trout set many anglers default to, keeping the rod tip low through the hook set. He notes that trout-style sets fail to drive the hook home on a streamer eat, and that switching to a proper strip strike immediately improves hookup rates for anglers used to trout tactics.What rod angle should you use after hooking a smallmouth on a streamer?After the strip strike, Shumaker recommends bringing the rod to roughly a 45-degree angle off to the side rather than straight up, keeping it between high and low as the fight develops. This keeps steady pressure on the fish and lets the rod absorb the fight, reducing the chance the fish throws the hook, particularly when it jumps or turns toward the boat.Why does fishing barbless hooks change how you fight a smallmouth bass?With the barb pinched down, any slack in the line lets a head shaking fish work the fly loose, so Shumaker emphasizes keeping constant pressure on the fish throughout the fight rather than giving it any give. He pinches barbs both for angler safety and to reduce harm to the fish, but that choice makes disciplined rod angle and steady tension especially important for keeping fish buttoned up.Related ContentS8, Ep 39 - High Water Strategies: Captain Brian Shumaker's Pennsylvania Smallmouth InsightsS8, Ep 34 - Frog Patterns and Fishing Strategies: Brian Shumaker's Late Spring Smallmouth ReportS8, Ep 31 - Chasing Smallmouth: Brian Shumaker's Adaptations for Unpredictable Spring WeatherS8, Ep 27 - The Pre-Spawn Puzzle: Captain Brian Shumaker's Tips for Pennsylvania SmallmouthView all Pennsylvania Smallmouth Reports with Brian ShumakerConnect with Our GuestFollow Brian on Facebook and Instagram.Follow the ShowFollow The Articulate Fly on Facebook, Instagram, Threads and YouTube.Follow our Substack newsletter for episode updates, tips and resources.Support the ShowShop through our Amazon link to support the podcast.Join our Patreon community to support the show.If you are in the industry and need help getting unstuck, learn more about our consulting options.Subscribe & AdvertiseSubscribe to the podcast in your favorite podcast app.Think our community is a good fit for your brand?

Two new federal executive orders could reshape how hunters and anglers access public lands and fisheries. September brings hunting season, fall fishing, and a major week for federal sportsmen's policy. The latest Sportsmen's Voice Roundup breaks down two executive orders signed by President Trump September 17 covering recreational saltwater fishing, hunting, shooting sports, and access to federal lands. CSF Senior Vice President and COO, Taylor Schmitz joins the conversation to explain what the orders actually direct federal agencies to do, where implementation could affect hunters and anglers, and what still needs to happen before those changes reach the field. On the fishing side, the discussion covers modernizing recreational catch data, improving fisheries management, artificial habitat and rigs-to-reefs, vessel speed regulations, and efforts involving species such as red snapper and grouper. For hunters, the conversation examines potential changes involving federal land access, migratory bird hunting, traditional lead ammunition and fishing tackle, wildlife management, hunter recruitment, and wild game donation programs. The discussion also tackles an important question for sportsmen: how durable are executive orders when administrations change, and what role could Congress play in making policy changes permanent? Whether you are chasing whitetails this fall, planning a saltwater trip, or following the federal policies that shape hunting and fishing opportunities, this roundup puts the latest developments into practical context.

Tide vs Current: Why You're Fishing at the Wrong TimeIf you have been planning your fishing day around the tide table, you are reading the wrong instrument. Tide tells you how high the water is. Current tells you how hard it is moving, and that is what decides where the bait sits and when salmon feed. This episode separates the two, shows you where the strongest current actually falls, and gives you a repeatable way to plan any trip in any season.Episode OverviewWhy tide is vertical and current is horizontal, and why confusing the two puts you on the water at the wrong hourWhere maximum current actually falls, according to NOAA, and why it is not at high or low tideWhat hard current does to baitfish, and why that decides the bite window rather than whether salmon are hungryThe roughly two-hour window either side of slack when the food chain is most activeWhere bait goes when it cannot hold in the flow, and why you should fish the lee and back eddiesA screen walkthrough of three tools showing the same place on the same dayHow to apply all of it to September coho in Marine Area 7Timestamps00:00 - What Salmon School students wanted most01:24 - Welcome to Fishing for a Reason01:57 - Tide is vertical, current is horizontal02:38 - Flood and ebb: the vocabulary03:03 - Max current is not at high or low tide04:15 - What slack water actually is05:13 - Why timing is different everywhere06:01 - What current does to the bait07:07 - The two-hour bite window07:47 - Where bait goes when it cannot fight the current08:41 - The 1.5 knot rule09:56 - Three tools, same place, same day13:37 - Applying it to September coho14:11 - Final takeawaysKey TakeawaysTide is vertical, current is horizontal, and current matters more to your fishing day.Maximum current happens between the tides, not at high or low tide.Slack and high tide are not the same moment, and they can be far apart.Hard current pins bait flat to the bottom; slack lets it rise and the salmon move in.Fish roughly an hour either side of slack current.When the current is up, fish the lee and back eddies instead of the flow.A big exchange can mean a harder day, not a better one.Check the current station for the exact place you are fishing, because timing varies everywhere.Resources & LinksNOAA on tides and currents: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.govNOAA tidal current predictions: https://tidesandcurrents.noaa.gov/noaacurrents/stations.html?g=698Island Fisherman Magazine, Fishing Tidal Currents to Your Advantage: https://islandfishermanmagazine.com/fishing-tidal-currents-to-your-advantage/Navionics: https://www.navionics.comWDFW sport fishing regulations: https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulationsPrevious episode on coho run timing: https://youtu.be/1rftcbGi7yQWant more?Go to https://anglersunlimited.co/gold to learn more about our membership.
