Broke the streak of no Salmon last night. Got one 4 and another 10. Inches . Going to change it up and go camping. Going to bring the boat just in case and head for Port Townsend. Long range planning isn't always the best thing.

Fished the opener, but haven't been out since. East 10 in the usual spots. We only had until 9:30 am to fish, so we had to stay close. Nothing doin'...dead dead. Tons and tons of bait at the surface just milling about left us wishing we had a scoop net on board. After hearing about the evening bite, wish we would've had the whole day to work with. Tight lines,

Fished PNP this morning got there at 0430. Tide was low and about 0600 shifted. Grass was a hassle most of the day. 2 guys standing either sids of me hooked up with 2 rezzies both about 5lbs. I caught 2 1 maybe 2lbers and let them go free. Hooked up 3 seperate times with bigger fish that pulled the hook(rookie). Tons of bait and even got balled up a couple of times and the seagulls were going crazy.. most action happened between 7 and 9.. saw several others land fish all between the 2-5lb range.

Still slow but once they get here its gonna be a feeding frenzy!

3 passes from Pilot Pt to PnP. 3 passes Pnp to Hansville. 3 passes Hansville to Foulweather. 3 passes Oil Docks past Richmond Beach.

Zero hits,zero takedowns,one dogfish and one flounder.

Hope we get some real rain this next week and things pick up a bit, because it is damn tough out there right now. The conditions absolutely sucked on Thurs and Fri...south wind, lots of tidal exchange, and lots of boat wakes made it very unpleasant fishing.

went to Kingston Wednesday AM, launched at 7AM, brother Scott and son Kaden showed up and we headed out to fish apple Tree cove. My family has lived on water there since the 60's ( I was in service when they moved)and this was the first time I had fished in front of the ferry so I was not tuned in. Only caught fish in AM Tidal swing. Wednesday caught one 12 lb Native at 85' in 120' of water and lots of flounder, brother caught DF, his son had no Lic. Dropped them off cuz brother had business to run and picked up other brother and his buddy and fished all afternoon with 2 grabs that brought the purple haze to the flasher but did not stick.
Thursday got somewhat dialed in, caught 14lbr (146' on DR in 260')and brother caught 8lbr 92' dn in 140' of water.
Friday fished at 8AM in front of ferry and south in 260' +- 20' and 10AM hooked and landed 16lbr dn 146' then 15 min later another 20lb native, released and 20 min later brother Scott
got 12lbr.

From what I heard from guide buddy it has slowed considerably since I left, wind and debris. Scattered fish......

You definitely have to work for them this year. They don't seem to be holding at spots for very long.


Here's a lil porn for you guys

Nice jermz. Mooch the ebb and troll the flood. A little somethin for everybody.

Saturday was slow for me. Lots of crap in the water, skunk bay was the only place to troll without clearing your line constantly. Two take downs and that was it.

Nice fish Jermz!

I was in that neighborhood for the past few days. We struggled to get three fish in 4 days. Buddy boat did better with a decent fish Saturday and a 19 on Monday evening. It seemed that we did best very late in the day. We saw few nets the entire time.

Fort Flagler State Park is very nice. I usually hate State Parks and was really pleased. The launch is a bit difficult and moorage is very limited and only available for 3 nights in a row. There are other options nearby.



Back at Edmonds. I will not give up!

Sunday Board for Port Hudson Derby



So you can see there are some out there.

Keep your hooks sharp!

I know most those names Gutz and there are a number of them that put in serious hours at mid channel

One 15# salmon in the west side of 10 last evening. Wind make the troll a little difficult but was done in 30 minutes.

I was out there last night. I was a bit surprised by the North Wind. Apple Cove Point was covered with grass and garbage. We made a pass down the President Point side without a sniff.

Back at it for this evenings high.

Fishing out of Port Townsend, Mooching off Point Wilson on 7/20/14 at sun up I started counting how many hook ups I saw . I stopped counting at 20 I saw numerous good sized Kings boated and a couple of unfortunate fellas that fought a fish for 25 minutes but apparently had no idea how to net one soon as I saw the net man hanging half way out of the boat fully extended poking a fish that was 10' out and not ready for the net well it got away which was disappointing because I really wanted to see its size. I kid you not it fought for all of 25 minutes. Anyway I finally boated a 12 pounder 2 hours after the bite. I figured I saw about 30 fish taken in 4 hours. Funny thing was once I hit the dock all I heard was how slow it was at Mid Channel for the downrigger show. I would Mooch the point early and troll the channel after the bite.

Nice first post Sean!
Tony and I got one last night. Nice to get one after a bit of a drought. We trolled from near PnP toward Pilot. Then ran up to Norwegian and hung around the point for awhile. There were few boats around and we didn't see any action. We headed out to the very lonely Bar and finally hooked up with one about 9#. Got 8 crab as well!

We had a good morning today in MA 10. Bennett and I caught our kings by 6:45 (and lost another), then picked up our two pots and were back at the dock by 7:15. I was going to head east for sockeye tomorrow, but am now rethinking those plans!

Nice Fish! If I was able to get out on a boat I sure would be.. hopefully its productuve from shore soon.. I need some ho's in the freezer

Way to go Bennett!

My neighbor got a #13 on the bar last night with Tony's Ace Hi haha!


I fished the end of the low this morning for zip. Moved over to Pilot Point and got a little Coho sending it down the first time.
