Anybody going to hit area 8-2 on Friday? Thinking of playing hooky and going for it. A little salmon, crab and sun (don't forget the brews) is a good combination.

What is the concensess on the humpy numbers?
From what I hear they are already stacking in the skagit.

I'll be out there! Bang kings in the a.m. and work pinks/silvers for a few hours after I get tired or very lucky fishing for the big boys...

The bubble remains productive for me. My boat got a 19 lb'er and an 8 last Saturday. I'll try again this Saturday if I can make it out.

It doesn't sound like the pinks are in yet. I'm sure a few are trickling through by the shipwreck.

Today was the first day that the Bush Point area really saw a lot of fish. Most all were Pinks, so they should be to Possession in just a couple short tides.

About 30 fish landed from the beach.

Thanks for the info guys. heard from a reliable sorce that they are already showing in the Snohomish. Could be fun.

I'll be out on the bubble again Friday morning. Looks like pretty good tides this weekend (although not that much exchange). Look for 19' Striper with green canvas.

Got out this morning from 5:30 to 10:00. Lots of boats out. Only saw a few fish caught. Picked up this nice 18# (not very chrome) fish jigging just after the tide change. I'll probably try Elliott Bay tomorrow.

Nice to see fish still hitting. Thanks for giving them a break for the weekend Wont be able to get out myself as I'm headed to Ilwaco for tuna and salmon Keep them reports coming as I plan on hitting them hard when I get back from vacation!

Still a nice fish!
Mind saying what kind of jig and how deep?
I am coming "Home" Monday for a week and a half of fishing and breathing that clean, moist, salt-laden air! I cannot wait!!!!!! My wife is pretty pumped about catching Humpies again.

Later!

The fish above was caught on the same jig that caught two fish on the opener... a 2 1/2 oz. blue "Grim Reefer" (with glitter plastic coating - bought at Outdoor Emporium). I was in about 50' of water at the mouith of the bay right around the +9.0 high tide. Good Luck!

You Da Man!

Thanks! I will probably be out there on Friday!
Look for the guy with the beautiful blonde in the little 14' Smokercraft with "MasterCaster" on the right side of stern!!!

Yehooo!!!! One more day and I will be back home for vacation!!!!!!

I brought my wife an daughter out tonight for a pleasure cruise and ended up trolling (of course ) for an hour. Caught a 7# Coho at 40' about 7:30 using humpy gear. Nice fish and my 2 1/2 year old daughter can't stop talking about it. "Daddy caught a biiiiiig Fishie" It was fun. Great night on the water.

Nice fish T. About 15min after I saw you I had a nice one come unbuttoned... It happens then we lost another jiggin... 0 fer 2... I think I am just going to have follow you around with my bino's next time I see you out there That way I can have a shot at your strays... I saw you also nailed one on Saturday(Elliot)!! Good job Just save the rest of a few...

I am done with Tualip and watching other people catch big fish! Saw one nice one baoted this am, then januted down to Possession around 10. Picked up a nice 8# humpy.

Fish Checker at Everett at 1:00 said 30 humpys, 20 silvers and 9 kings.

Had a good day at the bubble yesterday.
