Thnx Summer-Run, the natives are arriving I turned a similair wild coho loose, buddy caught and released a wild coho yesterday, so it looks like the run of fishery may be coming to a close.

I cnr another wild Coho and Steelie today, I've noticed that all the wild Coho I've caught have been really tore up, missing lots of scales, skin ripped off, holes in gill plates. Is it just coincidental? Why would the native fish be getting so hammered while still in the sound?

SilverKing, You're a beach fishing king! I'm wondering if the damage on these fish are from commercial nets...

When you guys fish with scents how often do you refresh it. I haven't tried any yet, water is so clear I figure they'll see the flash way before they smell it. I would think scents would work best in low vis.

Went 1-2, ending up with a small Buck. Funny thing was when I set the Hook a huge Silver jumped right out in front of my line, I was in hog heaven till I realized he was not the fish I had on, turns out 2 were moving together and the smaller coho got to my spinner first, just my luck!

The sound was active today, Silvers came barreling through unfortunately with the lack of wind they were primarily in the center of the channel, did catch one native about 10lbs, lost 2 others.

Here are some bank caught silvers taken on the skykomish from the bank. Took 2 on jigs (swimming\twitching - no float) and 2 fly fishing. The first pic is a pair of 10lbers and the second pic is of a 6-8lb fish and a 13-14 lb fish. Picked up this pair before work on Tues: Picked up this pair after work on Weds:

I went 1 for 3 this morning. Ended up taking home a 31.5 x 19.5 chrome slab. I'll post a pic Monday (no one else was hooking fish while I was there)
