Facebook.  Some real toads being caught.  Nothing over 14ish for me down south.  But they are on their way!!

This is killing me to be sitting here at my desk and missing out.  Might need to make a pre-work run tomorrow....

We lost a few that spooled a lot of line, but still did alright

No fish were caught, water was really rough, all the trucks were broken into in the launch lot, I would stay at work if I was you guys.

Best chinook bite I have seen in quite some time, I released two 18"ers, then a dogfish, then a rockfish, then picked up my keeper.  Most looked 12-15# with a couple real bruisers mixed in.

FWIW, several guys were doing the grip and grin inside the boat before releasing unclipped, be careful as that is a ticketable offense and I have seen it enforced.

It should be enforced.

Hey, that’s my secret spot – caught my best fish there last year.  Just me, a couple charters and several dozen close friends.  Seriously, that’s a beautiful fish; good thing that you’re wearing sun glasses.

Boat traffic doesn’t look bad at all.  I think I need to get out there in the am.

There were plenty of boats, Everett launch parking was about 90% full when I pulled out...

Well that was quick.  Less than a minute from gear down to fish on.  Hookup survived a botched 1st attempt at a solo net job and I got a 2nd chance.  Why did I tie that leader so long?

Netting chinook solo is a humbling experience to say the least.

Nice work CP!

I got out there solo too.  My go to spot from last year was void of life, so I joined the masses at Jeff Head.  Got my coho first, then released another coho, then bonked my chinook at 6:20a.  Back on the trailer about 6:45a, and off to work I went!  Such a fun fishery, hard to beat.

LOL as I get older it's hard to find guys who want or can fish. I do solo alot and still trying to figure out what the best SOLO set up is...play em till they are dead, 11 foot rod, long net handles? can some one help me LOL?

There is no easy way.  All of mine end up like this somehow.
