Nice king! Looks the weather was flat calm. You can't get no better. Son and I set out for the Shipwreck at Mukilteo at first light yesterday. Got down there & it was a zoo. Forgot my wallet, so didn't have any way to pay the launch fee. Went home & decided to fish the Skagit. We visited all of my old haunts along the south fork & then decided to take a run up to Young's Bar to get a head count on fishermen. It looked like the civil war. Found a family fishing there that had 5 or 6 rods out & the father was reeling in all the fish... with babies sleeping and the mother feeding her face. They couldn't speak much English. When I asked the kid how many he had caught, he said "five". It looked to me like they had already exceeded their limits as a group. I'm surprised there was no WDFW presence on the Skagit yesterday.
We found a private sand bar above Conway and had lots of nibbling using sand shrimp. I finally hooked one nice chrome buck and cooked him for dinner. Not bad for a humpy.
