Arrived at Dash Point Pier about 1815 on incoming tide.

A few were leaving without fish when we arrived and not too crowded - not a good sign.

Cast pink buzz bombs in 1.5" and 2.5" followed by mini squid doused in shrimp oil until dark about 2100 with one bite and no hooked fish for anyone on the dock the whole time we were there. Saw two guys in float tubes with fish on at the same time I had my one and only bump and that was all the action for the evening.

Nice night to enjoy a cold brew and a sandwich while watching the beautiful sunset despite the lack of cooperative fish.

Tight lines and good luck out there!

we fished the derby and started at Pt. Defiance and worked our way over to Browns point and trolled all the way to Redondo to see only 3 fish caught the whole day by 2pm. Very very slow probably due to pressure change with that crazy lightning storm the night before. Was looking for you out there.

We didn't fish the derby. Was considering it, but wife had an event yesterday so it was her turn to go play. Spent the day making some tune-ups to boat and fishing gear. Next weekend my chapter of PSA has a wounded warrior event and I'll probably be doing some cooking and other logistical support at the Des Moines marina. I think we'll fish the Vashon humpy derby in a couple of weeks. Sorry to hear the fish were unresponsive for you again. I had the results texted to me from the GHPSA guys and there were 69 fish weighed in for the derby so at least some were having success. Good luck out there!
