anybody been out yet?

Was out today... fish had a serious case of lockjaw. Marked a ton working bait and couldn't touch a fish. Tried every trick in the book! Matter of fact, couldn't buy a hit!

There's always tomorrow and Tuesday...

right on, seems like the days have not been to windy lately, gonna start taking the boat out again to try catch some, kinda bored of the chums

We only got a couple of shakers out at the brickyard in 8-2. If Downrigg'n is getting skunked, then I feel better.... I'm wondering if all the net activity is messing with their feeding/striking behaviors. The checker at Everett said that the netts allowed in 8-2 and 10, but not area 9.

I was going to blame my "skunked day" on lunar activity... Probably wasn't holding my mouth right as Grandpa used to say!

Hoping for light winds tomorrow!

Fished Area 9 on Saturday. A little lumpy but OK. LOST one ball about 15, two flashers about 11 and two spoons about 3. FOUND two BM about 8, two silvers (bright) about 8 and several chum released for the next guy. Glow green flashers, army truck coho killer and green GSB. Fishing on the deck, 130 to 150.

Made it out last week, I was able to get one 4lbs and a few shakers. I hit all the fish on green glo flasher and 4.0 green glo cyote spoon. I'll go out again this week if the rivers don't clear.

Fished hat island on friday. c & r'd a small silver and small blackmouth. Lots of bait showing but could'nt get in to fish my "hot spot" because of all the commercial crab pots. Hit Skachett head & west side of possesion on sat. Got an incidental chum(10lbs) at skachett and c&r'd a small silver and a small blackmouth on possesion. Very little bait showing there. Fished Elgier bay on sunday and we managed to pick up an 8lbr and a 6lber trolling just outside of the crab lines Lots of bait in area

Fished a zipper area in area 10 on Saturday. Marked fish both up and down. We caught a few shakers and landed some nice 23" bm. Released them to grow some more. We used dodgers and green white glow Coyotes and Cop Car Coyotes. We had a nunber of takedowns real deep 150-178. I wasn't fa st enough on the draw, so missed em. Sure had a lot of fun. Brought home some crab.

I fished area 10 Saturday, between Port Madison and Jeff Head, marked a ton of bait, caught a ton of shakers, lost a couple of nice fish. Green glow hotspots and green glow coyotes and coho killers were getting the fish to bite.

I have yet to get a keeper blackmouth in the winter. What I wouldn't do to catch some of the same chinooks now that I had to release in area 10 this summer...

I think 'mooches' story about 'bad boys in town' (Orcas), might explain the really slow blackmouth fishing. Feeding salmon seem to go into hiding when those big boys are around.
