Bootstrap Seafood Company We work on a symbiotic business model; taking care of our customer with reasonable pricing and our customers take care of us through word of mouth.

We are a small, local salmon and crab fishing operation selling to businesses and directly to customers. Operating out of LaConner, WA, we provide locally caught Dungeness crab during posted open seasons as well as fresh salmon sourced from the local, surrounding waters. Message us today to see when we have crab and/or salmon available. All crab and salmon sales are done by pre-order and pick-up location is specified at the time of order. (Dungeness May - January) (Salmon May - October species dependent on timing)

We will open next Monday for Coho. The projected water is lower as there are no significant, projected rain storms in the near future. Test fisheries, as of today, were less than stellar, but you have to try.

We are at a very interesting period where the Coho are not progressing up stream as it has not and is not expected to rain enough. A good rain, enough to make currently dry side streams run with water, would provide a lower stream temperature and return scent signals that the fish are just not getting currently. So, they sit and wait and we are in the odd position of having to wait, as well.

So, we went fishing and tried to do a low water launch that required pushing the boat off the trailer as the water was below the bunk line. Success...we broke a trailer. Now, it was near the end of its serviceable life, and its replacement was in the plans, but not quite yet. So, a quick conversion and luckily my flatbed trailer, which is used to haul fish totes and crab pots, could be used to transport the boat away from the river. Success fishery? No. Water levels are very low and the Coho will not advance up the river until we can get some significant rainfall. Unfortunately, its not in the near term forecast.

Quick side stop at the Samish River Hatchery catch. The Chinook are in the pond in good numbers. The video happens to catch a seagull flying low over the pond and disturbing a great number of fish which react and break the surface of the water.

Hello Folks! This is obviously not a video of today, but, today, there are 5 Coho available from last evenings set in Padilla Bay. These are saltwater caught Coho (Silver), gill bled and slush iced on the boat. If you would like to order one or more, let me know. Pick up will be this afternoon. Thanks!

Hello Folks! Because of staffing issues (Covid has hit some of our staff) and low water conditions in the river, we will be fishing in the saltwater today instead. If you ordered salmon, I will get ahold of you and arrange pick up accordingly. Thank you!

Hello Folks! We are going to take a few days to catch up on necessary maintenance and chores to get ready for a larger fishery starting Monday. We have some net to finish making and some electrical issues to correct that popped up during crabbing. Monday starts a river Coho opening. If you are interested in river Coho send me a message on messenger. Thanks!

Hello Folks! We've moved into crabbing foe the next two days. Thursday will be the next fishing day. Thanks!

They are a little slow to start today. Different day, different conditions. The wind is from the south today versus the north yesterday. The weather is supposed to change to rain here soon which changes the barometric pressure.
