Different deal out there.  I don't have the boat to venture that far out.

Be there next week and weekend crossing every day, hoping to make it to the Tuna if they are relatively close instead of Salmon fishing!

Thanks all for the info.  We used to fish B10 when I was a kid, but I haven't been down there in about 25 years.  Headed back the last weekend of August with my 6 y.o. kid and 70 y.o. dad. Three generations getting after it!  Can't wait!

What dates?

We'll be fishing August 28-30.

Relative to the tide, when do you guys focus on the area around the bridge?  We used to fish B10 itself when I was younger, and 3 hours after low tide was the understood time to be there (at least among our group).  Just curious if there's a similar rule of thumb for a little further upstream.

It can be good fishing up there pretty much anytime except a huge tide swing, typically the last hr or so of the incoming and into the outgo is the best.... you want a bigger incoming to push fish up above the bridge then a smaller outgoing to keep them up there.. we hooked 12 fish today in 3 passes with not a boat around.
