With pinks so plentiful (that is, plenty to go around) it would be great to see everyone post their reports on the site.

I fished the Bellingham Derby in the Islands this weekend and the pinks are coming in strong. Lots inside Rosario but as you got closer and closer to Juan De Fuca the thicker they got. In places out on the banks we couldn't keep our gear in the water 5 seconds without catching one.

If you want them now and have the means head outside into Juan De Fuca, there are billions out there. Even got a bonus Sockeye.

Fished several areas from Bush Pt. to Ft. Casey. They are everywhere. Funny thing is we didn't see any jumping.

Fishing relaxes me. It's like yoga, except i still get to kill something.

i was out at west beach this morning for a couple hours. made a lot of casts without seeing any life. we decided to pack up about 9:30 am and drive down to bush pt for a bit. i managed to go 2 for 5 in about 3 hrs.

i saw a decent amount fish pass by the beach though there wasnt a lot caught and they are definitely on the small side.
