No pictures as I was too focused on safely releasing the monsters. I hooked into so many fish that day I actually lost count. This was easier than Pink fishing. I made my way down just after dawn, but...

Tons of Chums rolling, absolutely none bit. I was hoping this year I could pick up river fishing but looks like that’s not happening. Do Chums go lockjawed like Coho? Or did I just have a bad presenta...

Atrocious fishing but to be expected if you’re on the water at 10

Nothing crazy today, fished oil docks in the evening. Really high seas, 2-4ft waves. Picked up this little 4lb resident (or maybe a lake Washington/duwamish? I know those run small). Ended the day wit...

Got out later in the morning than hoped with only an hour and a half to fish. That, combined with the lack of nets coming out didn't give me much hope. Trolled the inner part of the oil docks to nothi...

Area 10 was dead today. Fished the oil docks all morning and marked a few schools but they couldn't be less interested in my gear. I think it had to do with the 200 odd boats that were also there. The...

Insane fishing! You would think it's a Pink year! Went 2 for 3 this evening in less than an hour at the oil docks. Saw nets coming out all around us. Highlight of the evening was seeing a line of mass...

Not a great start to chinook for me! Fished west bar from 7-12, between 150 to 90 feet of water. Down rigger ranged from 80 to 45. Caught an absurd amount of shakers despite the faster trolling speed....

Pretty miserable fishing today. Fished 30-45 feet northern part of Jeff head 700-150 ft of water. No fish besides an undersized hatchery king that didn't survive release. My guess is it was a returnin...

Best fishing I've ever had over here. 4 hours of fishing from 6-11ish, 4 fish boated, one tiny guy released, and two lost at the boat. All fish caught between 30-60 feet at the southern part of Jeffer...

No fish even with the river in shape. Me and a friend fished it a week ago and saw plenty of splashes and rollers even though there was no action. Fished an extremely accessible well known hole in the...

Me and my dad finally got our skunk off! Headed out to Jefferson head by the Bouey in around 600 ft of water. Head a fish on in 20 minutes but lost him at some point between hook up and taking the rod...

Went to the river with the goal of catching my first humpy on the fly, and my first freshwater coho. Accomplished neither unfortunately. I saw one coho brought to the parking lot. The humpys were dis...

Maybe Pinks are just morning biters, but they really haven't been living up to their aggressive reputation this year, at least for me. Trolled humpy hollow for two hours at around 50 feet on the wire,...

Fished the ebb tide exchange at a beach on the eastern side of Puget Sound. Despite seeing lots of jumpers here a couple weeks ago not a single fish today. Boat fleet didn't have luck either

Could have been a five star review but unfortunate events led to otherwise. Haven't been able to take the boat out since the Area 9 opening weekend. We got a late start so we decided to stick around t...

First chinook trip of the year. Possession bar was a bit of a zoo. Most people used good etiquette, some people did not. (The guy cussing someone out on channel 16 comes to mind) and I will admit that...

Be very very careful at Cecil Moses Park. I got stuck in extremely deep, strong mud multiple times and seriously damaged my reel. On the marginal way side, I couldn't find safe access to the bank. Opp...
