We fished Skunk Bay and PNP from 4am to 10am today. No bites, and only saw one net fly. Gonna head out again tomorrow morning for another try.

Damn nice fish Tom!

Nice fish, keep up the good work. I had an opportunity to go out and join the crowds at Jeff Head today, what a circus, seemed like the bigger the boat the straighter it would go, no one seemed to want to turn much. Certainly made things interesting. Had a good bite around tide change but all small fish. We had one fish on that was really shakeing the rod, but my friend did not get the line out of the downrigger clip and turned on the scotty, anyway that fish almost made it to the surface before it popped loose. What a fire drill. Thats why they call it fishin and............Chuck G

That's a Fridgefiller there boy, nice King!

I was up at Midchannel Friday and Saturday. My buddy calls up Thursday night saying, "Man, you are gonna have a good day on Friday because we limited 3 people by 10:00. And, the kings are big this year... blah, blah, blah" Fish checker at noon had checked better than 3 kings per boat!

So, I'm all excited heading up early on Friday.

I get there and 500 people must have called their buddies and said "get up here today". It looked like the City of Olympia had moved out onto Midchannel Bank.

Start fishing. Nothing... Fishing longer... nothing. Shaker.. nothing. Not seeing much. Fish here, fish there. Now, I'm thinking, "shoulda been here yesterday?" Toward the end of the day, I finally hook into a nice one. Not hooked well, though. Saw it was a hatchery fish ... getting closer. Now it's spent, ready to drag into the net. Then one last turn the fish toward the boat, and pop! out comes the coho killer out of the corner of its mouth. Geez! What a way to end the day. Easy 20 lb+ fish lost at the very, very last minute.

Long story short. In two days fishing, had two hookups for my boat. One lost next to the boat, the other a native 15-18 lb. Should been there on the opening.

Fished Mid Channel this morning. No bites, nada! Saw three fish caught, and 2 of those were keepers. Fish checker at PT dock had 1 fish for 18 boats when I got back to the ramp to head home. It has seriously died up there for now. I'm sure it will be picking back up here real soon though.

Thats a great fish! I'm still looking for something in the 20 Lb range.

Fished Fri. night , Sat. morning & evening. Covered alot of water and ended up getting 1 small but mature fish around 7 Lbs. fri night for 3 rods. Picked up a 12 at liplip on Sat morning , a 5 lb blackmouth at mutiny bay and a 15 at jeff head at dusk last night for 2 rods.

reatively slow fishing but at least there are a few around.

Gotta love the KINGS!

Fished Midchannel this morning and picked up 3 fish, 6, 12 & 18# respectively. For the first 4 days, our count was 9 chinook. Not too bad for a bunch of knuckelheads. BTW, all but one fish was taken on a UV coho killer.

glad to see you guys get into a few. last i heard you were 0-3 as you passed by us.

my buddie broke a big one off right after you passed us.

Just got back from a weekend of adding to the mayhem at Midchannel. Thurs was great with a 20, 16 & 10 & one B/M with too many fins. Friend of mine up there landed 10 thurs with only 3 clipped to show. Fri was dead but got a few crab. Sat I fished with Coopduck & he picked up with an 18 & I got a 10 & another high teener lost at the boat. Sun Cory got about a 9lbr & I in true form lost another high teener & 8-10lbr at the boat. This having fish come unbuttoned at the boat is getting old.

I had family obligations all weekend so I'm pulling a before-work shorty trip tomorrow with the Rogue. Report to follow...

Spud, CaptainQ, or anyone else have any pics of some chrome pigs I heard about from over the weekend?

decided to try something a little different today and hit Jeff Head, Apple Tree cove, point no point and Elglon...had a hit on top of the water before i could get my flasher down just before we were calling it quits, so i put down at 31 feet and got a pretty little native coho...just after that my hubby had what we belive was a little coho...lost it, and called it....this weekend was really slow, but hey, its still a little early...hopefully they will turn on again..this time when im not at work please???...hahhahah...c

Gilly is on fire right now with Summerrun onboard. North wind blew me and my little red boat off of the water early today. No fish for me today. Already looking forward to tomarrow. -TBJ

One with too many fins and one lost at the boat for me this morning. Good to see you out there Tom!

If you touch your fingertips together above your head, that'll tell ya how many fish Irish and I brought aboard this morning at Edmonds/Richmond beach...

Are you guys fishing mid channel with gear on the bottom? Or are the fish suspended there?

We blanked at Jeffhead this morning.

1 king was checked in at Shilshole when we gave up at 11 today. All we could add to the pile was a little clipped coho. I got a nice headshake on a fish that was larger than a doinker, but couldn't tell much more than that before it was gone.

We watched Captain Q and crew release a nice nate but that was it.

Summerrun is gonna make us cry if he posts tonight.

Hdn out here in a few to catch the evening tide/bite hope I still have some of Keith's stink on the boat. .. . . .
