Fish-N-Chicks,

Don't worry, be happy.

Your biggest problem in getting silvers will probably be getting through all the humpies. Other than that, fog or wind might be the only other problem in getting fish, but with 4 days you won't be denied. For best results be sure to head out off shore a ways. I don't start fishing till I'm past the 2nd or 3rd rip, in about 200 ft of water a mile or two out.

Believe it or not, at this time of year when the fishing is hot, the kids and I used to play a game of trying to find a lure that wouldn't catch fish. Never found one.

You and the kids are going to have a blast catching a boat load of fish.

P.S. Be sure to bleed those pinks right away.

By the 24th there will be more silvers than now, but still alot of pinks. We found that we could catch them mostly on cut-plugged herring. But we also took off the Green Slpatter Back Squid ofter 3 fish on herring and didn't try it again. You should have fun!

Brined plug cut herring was the trick for us Saturday and Monday through Wednesday.

If the tide is low in the morning head east a few miles, almost to Pilar point. High tide in the morning, head west to the Sekiu river bridge. Troll the opposite direction of where you headed initially. This will give you a few hours of trolling before you have to make another run.

We hit our silvers either on top with flies or plug cuts, or all the way down at 85 feet. Our middle rod, straight out the back, had a small deep six with a plug cut herring out at 25 pulls. That rod saw more action than the downrigger rods or the topwater rods. You will catch fish.

One tip, keep trolling the whole time, just slowing down a bit when you get a fish. You can have a chance at doubles and triples that way. Only when you get a real hog should you idle and pull in all gear.

Second tip, don't cut between Slip Point (east side of Clallam Bay) and the Green Can. There is a reef that juts out there.

Third tip, bring GPS or buy one if you don't have one. There has been a lot of fog this week. If it is clear in the morning when you start, head straight out and mark a waypoint about a mile out from and 1/4 mile west of the Green Can. This is your panic point. Mark the Green Can while your there. This way, if you get lost in the fog, you head to the panic point, then south to your moorage.

Fourth tip, have fun! Try all of your gear.

I'm glad to see another person taking out some young kids. That is awesome! We had a 4 year old, 7 year old, and 8 year old fishing Monday through Wednesday. We could have easily killed 20 fish each day, but limited ourselves to only 10 (5 anglers).

Bonk all the hatchery silvers you catch if you are after good meat. We let a few 4lb'ers go only to wish we had kept them after getting "humped" all day. wink

If you have any questions, send me a private message and we can talk.

Finally, check out the post on "Here's what $8.96 can do!" Nevermind the BS.

Take care.

Fish - n - chicks,

It should be pretty good! I fished it for two weekends straight up till they closed it for the kings and silvers were plentyful! and you can catch em' from the side of the bank to a mile out... I fished them out of the kelp beds next to shore just cruise along them untill you see fish splashing all over and cast a blue fox #4 at em.... we only caught silvers in the kelp but out from the kelp we were harrassed by them damn pinks the whole time! the silvers are in the kelp chasing candle fish like crazy! we also did really good just trolling flasher and coyote @ 55ft in 160 ft... I too will be there from the 22 to the 24.... good luck! banana
