Well, I was asking before, where all the MA 10 reports have been. Now, I have to submit my own report from opening day (Kings)
Bummer, no fish for us. Had the good fortune of finally fishing with another member from this site. We talked Pink fishing since 2015, but just now put something together.
We had a late start, launched about 1:30 at Shilshole. Man, what a cluster that was... I've been on the outgoing (launch) at Oh-dark-30, but at least everyone is putting in at the same time. When we were trying to launch, all the 0530 people were pulling out, and it was a lesson in patience and mellow tempers, (-:

Anyhoo.. sped out to my usually great crabbing grounds. dropped four pots. Probably had about a 2.5 hour soak. All 4 pots yielded 8-10 crab, but very unusual was that it was almost always 100% females. Typically I can pull in 20+ crabs in a single pot, and have 4-5 legal males easily. This year I did not even get 3" dink males.
We re-soaked pots, and continued salmon fishing. Fished green splatter back hootchies, with Gibbs green flasher. As well as Cookie/creme Kingfisher spoon. Not a single take down for fishing. Most of what I heard from the fish checkers was good news for most boats.
We fished mostly between Richmond beach and Carkeek.

I notice in the drop downs, it asks for a lot of 'What was successful?' What was your best bait, etc...
NOTHING!!

Beautiful day on the water. Calm seas, and good company. Thanks for hanging out, Ken.
