Got to the boat mukilteo boat launch shortly after 5am. By the time I got the boat launched and my crab pots in the water, it was almost 6am by the time I started trolling. The water this morning was boiling with humpies. Everywhere you look they were jumping and rolling. I fished with a 2" dipsy diver and only 35 feet of line out. With the tidal current combined with my full size flasher, I couldn't have been fishing more than 15 feet deep. Caught 2 fish fairly quickly then went through a frustrating stretch of nearly 2 hours where I kept hooking fish and losing them. By about 8:30 I wasn't getting any more bites and I was starting think I would be stuck with just the 2 fish for the day. The fish had stopped rolling so I decided to go deeper and let out 100 feet of line. That was the winning ticket as I hooked into 3 more fish and landed 2 of them by 9am.

My crab pots came up fully stuffed, but they were mostly just a little bit too small. I did get 2 keepers though.

The smoke rolling in from the wildfires was spooky this morning. It was clear out early on as I was getting the boat ready, but the smoke rolled in much like a storm front and it was pretty dark out for much of the morning.

That was a great report Bryce. With the many fluctuations, sometimes fishing is more like a roller coaster *lol* We're heading out to KP tomorrow morning. They're slammin' salmon all over up there! Last time we crabbed there, we pulled up hundreds of crabs. Most just under 6 & a 1/4. Lots of softies that surpassed legal size. We had some keepers though. Has anyone else been fishing and crabbing north 8-2?

We went to kayak point Saturday afternoon from 3pm-6pm. Not one keeper in our pots in 3 hours. Had chicken legs and thighs and rainbow trout in there for bait. Fished for humpies with jigs and buzz bombs while soaking the pots not a bump. Even tried trolling the downrigger for a while at 50-60' deep. Nodda. Saw one guy in a boat net one pink in the bay just south of the park. In very shallow. That's it. One guy I talked to said his boat got 20 crab. Huh.....
