Just got home from a week in Neah Bay. We fished Umatilla Reef area about 15 miles due South from Tatoosh. The seas were the calmest I have ever seen every day and the fishing was nothing short of RED HOT. We released 100 silvers one day and 11 keeper sized Kings in the 12-15# range. We fished with whole herring and large 5" spoons mostly and put away the Hot Spot flashers early on. Not because the Hot Spot /Coyote combo didn't catch fish but it just wasn't necessary. We found kings at 80-100ft deep but caught them from the surface on down consistently. When you found the schools you caught fish in a hurry but there was never a lull in the action for long. Friday we had a double on one downrigger where both lines were stacked...one weighed 25# and the other a 20# fish. I reeled my line in on the other side of the boat and hooked another king with the 5" Wolverine spoon on the way up so it was a triple. My hands are hamburger from grabbing monofiliment line all week.

It sure was nice to get home to a real bed, a shower and my kids, grandson and dog. The stories from this trip will last a long time.
