Fishing for pinks by shipwreck right now.

[Goldeneye]

Something like will affect the fishing noticeably.  Sounds like a broken record because we've been here before...

An update on the netting from "Bigdaddy" on gamefishin:

"HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.......!!!

5 Seiner's just North of Mukilteo.

3 Seiner's just North of the Shipwreck.

And to top it all off, "someone" had a gillnet fishery last night just off of the Shipwreck.

The word is that the Tulalip Tribe made a deal with the Lummi Tribe to come down, with Lummi boats, and help the Tulalip Tribe get "their" fish.

Very sad to see......"

Humpy eggs! The new caviar!

And their excuse! Thin the pinks way down so just enough can spawn. Too many pinks in the river system supposedly pollute and take up space and spawning beds where the endangered runs of chinook and steelhead need to spawn

historically chums do poor in odd years due to competition from humpies.

My saltwater fishing partner managed 5 silver's this morning.

Anyone know how many days the net boats will be in Humpy Hollow and the Ship Wreck.
The boat in the picture was anchored up last night just South of the Clinton ferry docks

Time to put the boats up for sale boys and girls! The last decent run of fish is about to be netted into its death throws! Just like the chums were a few years ago! What a bunch of crap!

[Smossy]

To bad its harder to throw hay bails out accurately in the sound.

The chum run on the Skagit used to be so epic I would look forward to it every year.  I hope the pinks don't end with a similar fate.

I was wondering why so many Seiners today we did well had 12 in the boat in about 2.5 hours middle of the channel between shipwreck and Picnic Point

  I wonder what their qouta is out of 6 million pinks?

Lots of boats out there today, Tuesday.  Maybe 75 boats or so at the Shipwreck, just south of Mukilteo.  We arrived late, but still got our lines in the water by 7:30 am.  By 7:50, my son Smokepolejr had boated a nice buck humpy and a 9 lb. coho, trolling at around 60' with a pink spoon called Coho Killer.  I lost a nice fish, then later boated a couple of pinks, one of which was about 7 lbs. 

The amazing thing was, nothing on the boat malfunctioned this time.  NO duct tape needed!  And we left by 11:30 to avoid the slop.  Salmon for supper & some for the smoker!  :food:

clearly I am doing something wrong...

Had two riggers out for for 3-4 hours last night and only had one rod pop (no fish on it when I got to it).

I was at the shipwreck.

We must have been too deep.  I was marking fish between 200 and 125 so we had the riggers in those ranges. 

We tried pulling coyote spoons with smelly jelly, hoochie rigs behind dodgers.  We even tried one of those little pink squid behind a white flasher.

Going to try again Friday night after work and we will stick to the top 60 feet or so.
