After running over a seal 5 times to get it to let go I finally put this one in the boat. Low 20's area 10. Mooching cutplugs. We lost one other.

TBJ... Nice (troll-by) meeting you ... Sue n I will vouch for that fish, we saw it with our own eyes...very nice!!!

Same to you. Always nice to meet other board users out on the water. Gonna be back at it again tomorrow! -Tom

Nice fish Tom

Ondarvr and I took advantage of Sledddddder's open seats this morning. We had high expectations after yesterday's reports...and we weren't disappointed. Started off hot this morning as well and we ended the day with 6 hooked, 3 in the boat and 2 natives put back. Pulling the pots and getting 13 dungeness made the day even better. Crab on the stove, salmon on the grill and beer on ice as I write this.

Great fishing with you guys and hope to do it again soon! Thanks again Randy and Jody!

Awesome reports guys, keep 'em coming!

TJ and Parquito- That's a really nice limit of fish, all big, fat, healthy, chrome, and back in time for breakfast!

WN1A- That's cool you got one at the trees, one of my favorite mooching spots from long ago. I agree that the fish numbers seem better just to the north in area 9, for now. There seem to be decent numbers of fish in 10 but the chunk of Duwamish and Issaquah fish obviously haven't moved in yet.

TBJ- Nice pig Dood!

Monger, Ondarvr, and Sleddddddddddddder, nice fishing again today. Enjoy the grubbin..I've got about 12 pounds of kinger in the brine headed for the smoker tomorrow, a chunk for the grill tonight, and a McNaughtons and coke in my hand presently.

Just finished cooking crab, Kinger will be on the grill Sunday. Came off the water with 2 today. Good fishing with ya Craigo and hybridcx. Good to finally meet face to face Sleddder.
Spent the afternoon on the Sky with the woman, hangin on the gravel bar, washing the boat and gettin some sun (none was to be had on the water this am).

Nice work TJ, you and Randy have been killin them. .. .

Sleeping in tommorrow. . . .

Tom, Nice fish makes up for yesterday!!

Never went to the downrigger. I found a little spot where the kings had pushed the bait up on the beach and dropped the deadly mooching rig in 35 feet of water. Bang bonk bang bonk. both about 15#. Done about 6 am.

Blood on the Sea Kitten too!
2 fer 3 in about 3 hours up on the sw corner/scatchet head side of the bar.
Headed back for more after the knife work is done and the crabs are cooked.
New e-chip flasher (purple stripe scatter sparkly color) with an Ace High Fly and some krill goo.

Worked over to President's Pt. at dawn, first drop just north of the point to 75' in 120' and before I could get the other sticks line out "fish on". Hatchery teenager, but it was the guys first first fish in 14 years so had to keep it. Green/Glow and ace hi 36" from terminal.

Saw one other in my vecinity looked cohoish. Ran to possession to see the scene but far too sketchy for the 18 foot glasply. Big water for my little boat, and a total SH&T SHOW. Must have been a hundred and some boats.

Marked a ton of bait at the green can. Birds diving, total chaos, boats running full speed between other boats, looked like lake washington on a sunny weekend. Guess I have to upgrade to a 20 something boat.

Looking forward to weeks to come. Saw some faces from this board. Hope ya'll got one or more.

On my way to Shilshol right now.
Open seat and the extra scotty is on the boat.
Be there in about 45-60 minutes
Look for the Sea Kitten!

Nice pics and reports fellas. Possession seems to be the place to be, and it's definately no secret!!! This morning we picked one up at kingston, then headed to Possession to finish off the limit with a double, and a single shortly after... Lots of fish on all around us the entire time we were there. Not a peacful fishery. If the fish could see what was going on up on the surface, they would vacate the area quick like. I'll be spending the rest of the season in quieter areas I think....
Spoke with the fish checkers on our way south, and they had not checked a fish south of JH..... I would still rather fish in solitude than catch fish on I-5

It's all those internet fishermen.

I think I counted over 250 boats out on Possession.

Actually, I was surprised at how many boats were at just about every known "hot" spot. PNP, JeffHead, Keystone, Shilshole had a ton of boats on them.

I'd love to see how much $$$$ this is bringing in for the sport and the state.

Only a fool would deduce that these fisheries are anything but awesome for the state.

So true Parker
Tartar Sauce is only 17' long... I spent $1500 on getting the motor ready, another $200 on my trailer, easily $200 on gear, $50 on gas, and $200 on moorage for the next month and a half...... If this season were not open..... I might get out of debt. Gulp....
Just the boats at Possession this morning adds up to tens of thousands into the local economy! No brainer...

I better delete this post before my wife sees it......hmmm

I went out this morning with Sleddder, launched at 4am and were the first boat at Possession. The water was rough as hell this morning but we managed to go 3 for 6. The first one came 30 seconds after getting the first rod in the water. We hooked the line to the down rigger dropped it 20ft and were in the process of stacking a second rod on the rigger when the first rod burried and began screaming line. Randy fought it for a little bit but ended up losing it, by the way it fought it would have been the biggest of the day. We ended up with 3 keeper hatchery fish 8, 10, and 12lbs.

Receipts... right.... Thats how my wife finds out when I buy copenhagen. I've learned the hard way to destroy that kind of evidence

Buried cash, and don't take the receipt, you would never think of returning it.

Ducker!
