8/8/2017 8:09:13 AMI have not looked at creel counts, but my observation has been the fishing is slow. I have seen a few chinook in the net out there , but not many. Same report from the fish checkers at shillshole. My largest fish ended up as sea lion bait. Another nice one broke off my line. figure I will put on new line prior to my next trip. Only a few more days for chinook, gotta bet back out there.

8/8/2017 8:32:21 AMAlmost all of the ones we've caught have been smaller hatchery fish. All kings released and only a couple of silvers worth keeping - most shakers. We did have one lunker nail the line so hard it tipped the boat and yanked the downrigger out of the stanchion. I fought it about 30 seconds with it peeling line before it popped off the barbless. :(

8/8/2017 9:02:02 AMDefinitely slow. We had good luck off the oil dock area 2 weeks in a row and then wiffed it on Monday. Half dozen shakers and couple small coho (c&r). One last shot this Friday. Maybe give Jeff Head a try.
