Area 9
« on: July 14, 2021, 05:39:38 PM »
Opens Friday
I think the quota is around 4700 fish
Who’s fishing it ?
I bet if it’s as good as the islands and straits has been , it doesn’t last a week
Good luck to all

Depends on the crowds and catch rates.  I expect the former and hope for the best, there isn't much else going on so it really concentrates the effort.  I wonder why they don't overlap 7 & 9 to at least spread the effort out instead of everyone piling into 7, then everyone piling into 9.

Areas are opened one at a time so fishermen can be watched.  The state pay for few fish counters and LEOs that way.

Will do! Plan on fishing the 9/10 border. Was trying for resident silvers when crab opened and all we were catching was kings. Released 9 hatchery kings in about 3 hours of fishing.

Correct.  If you get back to the boat ramp and the "fish checkers" ask you how you did, and you say you caught 1 but had 2 more that got off the hook at the boat, the 2 that you lost is still somehow counted towards the overall quota.  WDFW has determined that a salmon's survival rate drops after an "encounter" like that, so they mark it against the total of the quota. 

Gary
One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset

I was told by a WDFW official once that "encounters" get a mortality percentage applied to them, something less than 1.


Fish checker: "Did you release anything today?"

Nope, not a thing.
