we fished craven rock and mid channel today...and yes at warp speed...most of the time we were over 4 no prob...

i caught this one below craven rock went 13 lbs...caught it on a Ace High Fly...blue....



trolled for a while...wind kicked up pretty good and we headed to Mid Channel...my hubby picked this one up on the Captian Downriggings i belive its called Artic Morning...im sure John will let us know what its called heres a pic of it....went 25 on the scale..nice fish babe...




heres another on the water....



and here is one at home....c



anyway...it was slow today...we only caught two jacks, two kings and one small wild coho that was not worth keeping....it was slow...his was caught on the rigger 89 feet down, mine was 135....didnt mark a lot of fish on the craven rock, Lip Lip area, but when we came around the corner to Mid Channel later in the day there was nice bait nice fish on the finder, but no real takers....c

Nice Fish Cheryl! Hopefully the fish are biting good tomorrow for all the derby goers!

oh crap i forgot...got one keeper dungie...and only one undersize...c

My son and I hit Jeff Head from 5:00 - 7:00 tonight and took home the big skunk. Quite a few boats in the area, didn't see any nets.

Nice fish Cheryl and hubbie.

Was certainly slower, checker in PT said 1/3 of the fish caught for a few more boats compared to yesterday. Never saw a real bite materalize, just the odd fish here and there. I lost two jigging in deep water, one opened the eye on a well used (guess the rust should have been my clue to change it out) Gami Si-wash, would have liked to see that fish. Ended up getting a 8 and 15 later in the day, but we worked hard for them, 11 hours total.

Anybody running rvrfisher cicle si-wash (sp) on darts, any size recomendations? I really like how well they worked the coho killers, held great. Gonna take Saturday off and try again Sunday pending better reports.

Good Luck,

fished jeffhead this evening an got a hi teener possibly bigger but forgot scale and a 6 or 7 lb coho all on herring at 35ft in 70 ft of water after 830 pm. My buddy got a 29 at port townsend today an the fish checker told him it was the biggest fish of the day. Fish checker in kingston told me at 530 pm that 2 kings and 1 silver had been checked in since the early morning.
Water was not very flat an never laid down.

Todd designed this setup using size 2/0's I think. Looks like it would work great on the back of a Pt Wilson too, alot better than the stock hooks.

Put in a solid 9 hours of fishing on Thursday. We had a hard time getting fish to stick, but plenty of hits on the rigger. My buddy hooked into one about 0830 that almost spooled him before it came unglued. We released a number of shaker blackmouth. On Friday all we could muster up was three dog fish and we didn't see one net out. There was definitely something that happened between Thursday and Friday. There was a lot of slime and jelly fish in the areas we hit on Friday.

Good job to all of you that caught some fish and good luck this weekend. I will be curious to see how things go today. As for me its back to the remodel I have going on. Hope to get out for two days again sometime in the next two weeks.

Just like the pic that SkyGuy posted, my darts have either double 2/0's or double 3/0 Sickle Siwash hooks, back to back on a large split ring.

The rig seems to have the perfect combination of hooking fish and not letting them off, and it is also pretty easy to turn both hooks and slide them out...barbless, of course...

Fish on...

Todd

Todd, are you guys going to develop any saltwater Salmon spoons?

Team Carroll has a 20+er in the box this am. Looks like the bite has picked up today.

Should be some good fish in the derby today.

"Wishin' I was fishin'....instead of cleaning the house and going to Costco."

I'm down here at work watching all the Sounder fans file by, I'm out of here at 1:30, I'm not going to get caught in the end of the game circle jerk traffic mess.

I only hooked two and landed one today not counting silvers and blackmouth shakers. This is the one. Probly shoulda bought a derby ticket.........Just shy of 25 pounds. 24.8

Awesome!!!!!!!!

Nice fish...what did it weigh?

3 of us fished PnP from 5-9am and didn't see a fish caught.

Hey Tom, that would have been the 3rd place fish worth $1,000. We took a "disputed" 4th place in the EB derby with a 21.3.

A 29 9, 28 10 and 24 4 got the cash...I will let T Carrol Jr. explain the dispute...cheers

I took Friday off work because the fish were jumping in the boats on Thursday. Fish count went from 3 fish per boat Thurs to 1 per 3 boats Friday...how smart was I? [censored]! I netted a 30 or so Friday morn with too many fins (by myself) at about 7:15 and figured it was going to be red hot....but.....rest of Friday produced the entire variety of fish previously mentioned by others, and two more solid strikes with one on/off and the other a few heavy head shakes then gone and no more salmon to net.
Today was a longer play time, but again nothing netted (and I had help today) ..... two good fish battles that ended with involuntary releases right at the boat, but not yet within net range.
Oh well, had a great crab louie salad this afternoon and long nap.

Note to self: turn other hook around and try it.

let me guess the dispute is a half clip???

good job Tom...thats a nice fish there...im not sure i ever saw a net up...

fished 65 miles and never even saw a shaker...tough fishing, although we didnt head out early, started at 745...after checking the pots...
