Oh it's gone down hill but that's not the area that's the state and how it's managed. Not the areas fault and when you know as well as I do then why fish any where else

Im with ya.

My uncle has worked at the boat house for 35 years. Dad and him have taught us boys the ropes out there and I'm still amazed on the things they can do when no one else is catching any fish. They usually manage to get a fish

I went out Tuesday for a couple of hours right at tide change and never had bite.  That is pretty normal for me, but I am going to keep trying 

When you guys mooch, what are you using?  Herring?

Yup Area 11 isn't as good as before.  But like another poster said, I noticed it once they opened up Area 9 and 10 a couple years ago.  We've just been fishing Jeff's Head ever since because we don't do as well down in the Gig Harbor/Tacoma area anymore when we have went.

Years ago I use to see this older guy who hung out in the PT D. bait shop drinking coffee. He would use buzz bombs bounced within a couple feet of the bottom between the point and the slag pile. I watched him many times, motor on out then drift while buzz bombing and hookup. We would fish for hours and be lucky to limit. He would fish for minutes and limit.
I caught myself watching him more then fishing, lol.

Confirmed. Redstar and I will be hitting it good this weekend, acting like I know what the hell we're doing. Looking forward to finding them bait balls and dragging the cut plugs through them.

I'll be on 68 all weekend going by HawksFan out there.

anyone every use a diver out there? and if so can you keep deep enough to get into the fish? im taking my buddy out Saturday but only have one downrigger.

Never fished it before; fully intend to give it a try soon though - especially as summer goes on. What's the water generally like out there? (I run a 16', low profile, flat bottom jon - straight up duck boat - unfamiliar marine areas can make me nervous )

Fishing is pretty good at the clay banks. Caught this one yesterday and lost a slab right at the boat. Just fished the tide change. Going to hit it again today for a bit.

Nice fish, I was out there for the first half of the day and got skunked. Lots of boats fishing off the point, at least 50-60 and never saw a net :/ I'll be hitting it next weekend as well

[yorketransport]

We were out there yesterday too. Only running for bottom fish though.  I couldn't believe how many people there were! It seemed like you couldn't get 25' without being on top of another boat.

Yeah it gets tight but for the most part people who know what their doing watch their line angles. It's the yahoos drinking coors at eight in the morning fishing from their ski boats that make it interesting.

Picked this one out there this morning. 13 lbs is what the checker said it weighed. Hooked up right at tide change.

[Hurricane]

Must have snagged it.



    Nice Fish

[MuleySniper]

Nice you must have got up early lol. Just heading in now fished the low tide. Pretty dismal
