its gonna be a good opener thats all I can say so I wont get bashed here

Rockfish,

What makes you so sure it'll be a good opener?

Two years ago it was red-hot from the opener on. Last year the fish never really showed up.

I went 4 for 6 flyfishing for srcs on friday on silvers between 3-6 lbs. one older guy caught some also. last year was pretty good I thought, I'm fishing the kitsap penninsula cant say anything about across the water thou. had similar results the day before also fishing the canal north of the bridge on the kitsap side.

I spent about 1.5 hours at Keystone after I missed the ferry,(Just N. of Bush) and saw a lot of gulls working bait, but no fish showing.

Hopefully your right about the Silvers this year.

hey rockfish, i caught just 1 src the other night off of browns point. flyfishing. sure would like to improve on that and add some silvers to it. were you in a boat or on the beach. got a drift boat here , no motor.

Went out to Point No Point twice in the last two weeks and didn't see any signs of fish other than dogfish. No bait fish, no seals, no salmon rolling. Doesn't look promising.

From what I've seen at Neah Bay I'm expecting a way better year than last year but not as good as 2 years ago.

Was out on Whidbey all day Saturday going over my upcoming wedding (there goes my fishing) ceremony and reception areas. Visited 3 different spots on the west side and saw plenty of bait balls with floating birds something I rarely saw last summer. Ssshhhh also saw more than one humpy get chomped by the local pinnipeds.

there was was a ton of fish last year, they just came in by instinct not rain, commercials had a banner year. it will be good again, why all the negative talk fellas

hey griz, been fly casting off the beach from longbranch to hansville. better action for silvers up north and cutties down south. west sound thou, seems to have better flyfishing

Well Rockfish, beach fishing sucked on the west side of Whidbey last year. Went every weekend from August to the middle of September, both Saturday and Sunday, last year was the only time I have been skunked on the beach.

usually september is hot but last year it sucked, there was school after school thou in late september and october but no biters. hopefully it rains this september and brings fresh fish

There appears to be more coho in the ocean this year than last but still nothing close to the numbers of coho we saw 2 years ago.

any current news on the coho bite out at point no point or deception pass? i know it's been rather slow but just curious to know if the fish are in and jumping around or not. any word on pinks? was thinking about heading out to whidbey island this saturday. by the way, i prefer to fish west beach because north beach when it has more than half a dozen people becomes a zoo.
has anyone experimented with new buzz bomb configurations or other beach casting techniques?

rockhopper fished just south of point no point sunday with some success on silvers using poppers on a fly rod. as far as buzzbombs don't know but used zingers last year at point no point and caught fish when no body else did.
