Heading out to Humpy Hollow tomorrow with my kid - any recent reports, and is anyone seeing any silvers?

HH has a ridiculous number of pinks from the boat launch to the Shipwreck and beyond.  You shouldn’t have a problem limiting.  Silvers?  Yeah, if you can keep the pinks from getting to the lure first.

Pinks have been in the Skagit pretty good.  The boys and I have released a bunch and smoked over 20 of them.
Cut em!

Anyone fishing area 7 pinks or silvers?  WDFW doubled limits out there, but no point in going if they are already passed….
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”

They doubled the limit due to a large Fraser river run. Test sets out off of Vancouver island this week were massive. Should be a ton of pinks hitting the outside of San Juan island in the coming days...

Quick limit on the lower Skagit last night (easy when its only two fish). Lots of fish around.

Rain next week should plug the river with them. Should be hot fishing if the river stays in shape but hot weather before rain might do it in for a while.

The pinks are coming in hot. Been enjoying taking local pastors and their kids to get in on the action. (Learn more about that here: https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,261347.0.html
Sons are a heritage from the LORD, children a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate. - Psalm 127:3-5

The Snohomish should be lights out for tomorrow's opener.

Well, they’re still thick in Mukilteo. I got tired of using the downrigger, up down, up down. So I started jigging. I  don’t think I went longer than 2 minutes without a hook up. It was absolutely crazy hot.  I couldn’t believe the size of the schools I was marking. I started out at 80’ looking for Coho and when I went through a school of pinks I could see my rod just bouncing as is hit the pinks. Working 60’-80’ looking for Coho for the first hour was a bust, so I just brought my gear up to 45’ just to play with some fish and bam fish on. Got it to the boat and it was a nice 6-7lb Coho. :dunno:. After that it was all pinks.

What’s the lower Skagit like right now?

We are getting getting into fish consistently with dark color dicknites of corkies.

Getting a few silvers too.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Anyone have any bank access locations on the Snoho for pinks that they'd be willing to share with me via PM? This time of year I'm normally hunting, not fishing, but I'm going to the UW game tomorrow so I have a rare Sunday free to do some fishing.

Pretty familiar with the area and public access points, just hoping for a nudge in the right direction so I don't get skunked.

(Edit: Alternatively, I got a spot from a coworker. Would like to ping it off anyone that is familiar with the area to see if it's a decent option)
