Hey CP....putting in at Everett tomorrow morning. Any suggestion on which side of the bar to fish for a bit while the pots soak? I figure to run a spoon or hoochie or maybe an ace hi fly for a few hours. Depth? In the mud or up in the water column?

Hey H2O, I'll be out tomorrow with FC and my family. There is a high tide at 6:30 I believe. I'll be launching at 5 hopefully and heading over to the outer bar, SE side and trolling 10' off the bottom in 100-140' of water. I've been doing well with a green/white flasher, 50" of 30# test to an Army truck Coyote spoon. Both 4 and 5 inch models have been working. Good luck and gimme a call while you're out there if you have any luck. I'll do the same if I get into fish.

High tide at 6:20am - I'd be rigging up the first line by flashlight and fishing the East side from the buoy to the area 8-2 line by Poss pt.    Start at 40' down and drop 10 feet every 30 minutes. 

Good luck!

Do you guys think that jigging/mooching with a buzz bomb or herring be a reasonable thing to try?  I don't have downriggers and I don't think I can troll slow enough so I'd like to try jigging.  Do you think that I would have a reasonable chance at catching using this technique?

That's the only way I fish for salmon in the salt. It's not for eveybody but once skilled you can do just as well as trolling if not better. Saves on fuel too  :twocents:

Did alright today, fished pilot point and point no point. Ended up with two small coho and 9 dungeness to end the morning. Pics tomorrow when I pull the boat out. We had one wild king on to the boat and he broke it off right before I got the cookies and cream spoon out of his mouth. Good day over all :tup:

The North end of area 9 was real good earlier in the week. Yesterday I lost one fish about 15 at the boat to a furbag, he took my only jig that was producing the best  :bash:. We did get some really nice fish earlier all mooching and jigging. A couple around 20 and one in the mid to high 20s. All hatchery. The 29 Dungies didn't hurt either. I'll try to get some pictures up later. Going back Thursday.

singleshot12,

Thanks for the suggestion that I won't be wasting my time trying to mooch.  I used to fish in the 80's up in the San Juan's mooching with a herring but the dogfish were so brutal I eventually moved to jigs.  I'm not sure what to expect in Area 9.  I guess I'll try herring first and see what happens.  I will probably catch the great great great great grandson dogfish of what I used to get in the 80's if I rig a herring?   :chuckle:

The dogfish were there and pretty bad if you get to shallow and at certain times of the tide. When the tide was running it was ok. I had 2 rods setup, one with a jig and one ready for mooching. We got fish both ways.
