This is actually a 2-day report for both Saturday the 14th and Sunday the 15th. I didn't post yesterday because I was too embarrassed but felt redeemed today so here it is:
Yesterday we hit Jeff H...

It was a KING day for sure! We hooked 7 of them, 5 were natives and kept a couple of good sized hatchery kings. One was the largest of the season (for us) so far just shy of 12 lbs.
We then switch...

Another stellar day starting off with an incredible sunrise! The smoke made the sun look like a giant red planet and the clouds banded it - imagine seeing a bright red Jupiter coming up over the hori...

You can't be a Rock Star every day!
We started shortly after 5am off Jefferson Point and expected to kill it but instead putted around spotting only a few, getting LOTS of seaweed on the line and c...

It was a VERY weird day to say the least! I had to take at least the one star off the day just because of all the mishaps.
We launched at 4:10am to a full moon and gusty winds from the north. Abo...

We had 4 people on the boat, one along for the ride and 3 actually fishing and even though we got 4 of a possible 6, it was a 5-star day with LOTS of great memories! We started off at 4:33 on the Wes...

Again, robbed of our limit but can't complain too much as it was a very active morning.
We started at 4:30 and had our first king in the boat by 5:15. It got so active that we couldn't get both li...

I thought it was going to be a 5-star day. We started at 4:32am off Possession Point and had two decent kings in the cooler by 6:15. Then we lost 3 nice kings in a row before it went cold. We fishe...

Two of us went out today and again, one evaded our limit, but we were happy to come back with three nice silvers in the cooler!
They were considerably bigger than the ones last week, but as far as we...

I wasn't going to report this until I got a call from my buddy Tim this morning. He read the creel report and said that there were 59 boats out and only 16 fish were caught and WE caught FIVE of them...

Awesome day! First day limiting on Coho only!
We started off at Shilshole and headed over to Jeff Head to see if we might get a king on the last day of the season, but no luck. Blasted over to th...

Two things I want to say about this day. First - the fishing. We headed out to the near ridge off Shilshole and the hot spot was the bottle-neck between the two ridges. We caught zero silvers which...

Aug 31st - a classic example of how to go from being the Master Fishermen to the Master Baiters in 6 hours.
We motored out of Shilshole just before sunrise. There were a LOT of boats fishing just...

We launched early from Shilshole so we could catch morning bite and the tide change. Started off Jeff Head at 5:15am and had our first hookup - a large female coho right at sunrise. We used a red ra...

We set out from Mukilteo for Possession Point at 4:30am along with 250+ other boats.
It was like driving during rush hour on I-5 with no north/south divider and no over passes. Everybody motoring ...

Well, this is actually a 1.5 star as I didn't catch a few, but one. I was going for both/either squid/herring and couldn't get either of them to hit the lures. Don't know what was going on - big sc...

We were hopeful as we hit the tides and sunrise at just about the right time, but the odds were working against us from the very beginning.
As we were setting up, Tim moved the downrigger and the who...
