Today I went to send in my Gloomis IMX rod for Warranty well when I arrived to  Auburn Sport & Marine they are able to do it for 5 bucks. Which saved me 40.00 in shipping... I am back to catch fish in a big way.

I Normally fish with my Gloomis IMX and a Abu Garcia Revo Premier I do have a Few set ups I fish with and I love each in their own special way.

 Now that the Cold and Rain are setting here In the Great NW it  will be Steelhead season soon time to start gearing up. Which brings me to my new reel I purchased today which is a Quantum EXO 30 series.   I have not tested it out yet I spooled it with 30# Power Pro Braided line  and Paired it with a Cheaper Lamiglas Northwest Special Spinning rod feels lighter than my Shimano Sahara 4000 reels I had on it (heavy) Photos Below.

My History of my Northwestern Fishing.

My Name is Jay I am originally from Las Vegas, Nevada. I always had a passion for fishing it is fun and also relaxing and even able to win some money with bets with friends and family most fish biggest fish. I grew up fishing Lake Mead  and various urban ponds in the Las Vegas Valley. I fished mostly rainbow trout Catfish and stripped Bass, all fun and great tasting in my opinion.

My wife and Kids and I decided to move up to cold country aka the NW we love it here being I always loved fishing I got back into it but with a bug like no other. Salmon fishing!!! what fun fish they are my first year here I sat in the Puyallup river fishing with just a couple people not catching anything. I was learning I talked to a few people about what kind of set up I would need. I was told 50lb braided line and a salmon rated rod and which ever reel. so i was out to buy it and hit the river with a smile. Well I never fished in a river, well never stood in a river to fish at all so that was a small challenge. I wanted to make sure I was not going to end up in the sound. I learned a lot fishing out there I began to teach my self how to drift fish corky and hook. I learned how to lose a lot of gear I mean a lot of gear...

Fast forward to 2011 Pink Season came I caught a lot of Pinks also A lot of salmon My first fish was a Coho out of the Puyallup river caught it last year on my birth day. after that I knew I would be hooked on fishing. for salmon and I was. I learned how to use a Bait Cast reel and haven't looked at a spinning reel since other than Steelhead fishing.

I have for 2 and a half years I tried to catch a trout. I will say these trout were tough to catch. I learned to go old school with it bobber and worm. boom fish on I fished every day for 2 weeks limiting out on trout 5 a day I cooked a lot of them different ways fried, grilled, smoked, and Chivche (spelling may be off)I will post these Recipes on a later post.


This year I filled one tag full of fish now Kings and Coho gave to friends and family  some in the freezer for the winter months. Great I will never half to buy fish again.

I started a Blog just so I can post my personal adventure in this fishing mecca! Product reviews, recipes, trips, and gear a lot of gear.
