SLOW. acouple of shakers, didn't see a fish caught. Spent the morning of Todds. I guess the boats and the fish headed to Lake Washington. Any other news from the front??

i fished elliot this morning, friday, people weren't catching anything near todd's but they were north of the launch. everyone that i heard about getting into em started early, 4 am or so. i saw one 16# that guy saw a 26# and an 18#caught by one boat all before 4:30, trolling herring. i'll be back there on sunday after tommarow on lake washington.

Nice, all before 4:30. Going to cut into my beauty sleep! Thanks for the info

Southworth is producing respectable size kings. No need to get up early, fish the evening high.

My friend and I managed to boat a 22lb. king and three 5lb silvers just north of the boat ramp. I was happy. Marc

Fished Pt Defiance all weekend- not even a bump from a shaker. Didn't hear much of anything either. All the boats I passed said they have seen nothing caught. Where's all the fish? Maybe we'll see a fresh spurge shortly.

Downriggin'

Nice to see there are some fish in the bay. 22#, not a bad catch. Thanks for the update

The kings in Elliott Bay must be a little late this year. Kind of like the sockeye.

if it's light enough to tie a knot (w/out a light)when you first start fishin you're too late for Kings!!

Don't believe everything you read. We got 8 fish from 9:00 to 11:00 and without a cloud in the sky.

The biggest king I ever caught (28 lb) was at 10 AM. This was two years ago in Elliott Bay.

How deep in what water depth are you catching those kings, if I may ask? Anyone do any good by pier 90, 91 or Todds / Salty's the ticket for kings?

I go against conventional wisdom when it comes to kings in Elliott Bay. I fish right on the surface, rods almost touching the pilings that hold up TODD's. Massive amounts of bait fish hold up in those pilings. I only let out 20 feet of line with an 8oz. banana weight in front of my dodger and hoochie. Gotta be fishing at 0400 to get the morning bite. Once the sun is on the water you are better off going deep right in front of the mouth of the river since that is their destination. I have seen guys jig for kings right under the west Seattle bridge with good success too.

Looking forward to some weekend updates. Hope the run is in and the lines are tight!

Was at the ramp today and saw a 27.7 pound king that was cleaned. I figure around 34 other wise. Great looking bright fish

That be a nice fish. Look forward to some weekend reports

Fished this afternoon/evening and saw two nice kings caught right at tide change (18:30). One fish must have been pushing 30lbs. All I got was a huge ling cod while I was jigging for kings.

Fished it yesterday, they were really short striking. Did manage to get one in the boat. 17.5lbs The fish/boat ratio has gone up alot. The police traffic is also pretty heavy. You can get them to hit the lights/horn for you if you boat a fish

I MANANGED TO LOSE 3 FISH TODAY!! :>(

A friend of mine fished Elliot Bay near the west boundry and limited (4 kings 14' to 18') Friday
morning. They were trolling on top with Hot Spot
flashers and Cop Car spoons.
