During the afternoon flood, we marked a lot of fish down between 100 & 135 ft.  We dropped down there & came up with a nice big humpy.  Oh well!   :chuckle:

Fished a bit on the way to town today.  Released a short king and kept two pinks, one was large trout sized one but should still be yummy.

Put it whole on the Bbq.....

Saturday should be a sporty fishery per the weather outlook.... :puke:
To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

I've been cooking salmon whole on the Traeger lately and love it!  I cut some slices in the side down to the bone.  Stuff some lemon slices, fresh dill, and butter in the body and slices, then salt/pepper the whole thing.  Turns out really tasty!

They make good fish tacos.  Brush the fillets with olive oil.  Sprinkle with lemon pepper & grill on tin foil with the skin down.  I also smoke alder chips while it's cooking.   :cue:

Anniversary today.  27.  Great day on the water except someone forgot their catch card. :-\  Shipwreck.  Most of our crabs were soft shelled today and went back.

Awesome. We got 6 salmon and 7 dungees. No soft shell for us.

Had most of our hits with a hot spot flasher. 55 feet

I'm retired so have been out most every day. Mukatilo ramp.thats been fun maybe I should just watch.!
    Been limiting every day,on flasher and coho killer white,36 or 42 in leader.Doesent seem to make much difference. I've stayed at 35-50 ft sometimes 95..The reason is that Ive targeted the sightings. THree in the boat 2 much fun..
But I do have a ? just last week I bought a new Lowrance elite 3 $100 bucks.cannot get it to give me a depth other than 3 ft ,or whatever feet, the transducer is on right and grounded right. Bought it at Cabelas. anyone else have this problem or it just a pos that i need to return. [elk 342 yep I'll be there]

So its supposed to rain tomorrow. How will that affect the fishing at shipwreck?

So far, I have been lucky and only had sunny days.

I fished there with my cousin right after our last heavy rain.  It was so dead all morning, but when the tide changed to flood fishing got good in a hurry.  I think fishing will be good for another week, but the seiners sure were hitting it hard on Wednesday.  :twocents:

Weather was nice and rain is coming, so left work a little early and fished around Shilshole this evening.  Started fishing at 4:30, and finished at 6:15 with one pink...to go with our limit of coho.   :tup:

I smoked up 10 more the other day. I'm done keeping humpies for the season. It's been a good one and I will still enjoy catching, I'll just be doing more releasing. I haven't kept count but I probably have smoked up 40ish. A lot have been shared at work and with friends. I've also made up 15- 1 1/2 pint containers of salmon dip which is in the freezer along with 5 containers of crab/shrimp dip. We are ready for the holiday get together's this year. Now I just need to get some silvers in the freezer. Happy fishing everyone, get out and enjoy this fantastic pink run!
I'd rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I'm not!

Nice work.  I should try something besides my standard smoking recipe.   You have given me some good ideas.  I hope to get my first coho on the downrigger this year.  Pinks have been a lot of fun though.

Thanks.  Our fish were 50-70 feet.
