I was just above the Donkey hole on the lower Sky yesterday hanging out with the family on a private farm beach and they were boiling, the really deep hole with the rocky outcropping.We call it the "Silver Mine"

 I know the hole well. We know it as the "Indian hole".

Same here. Started fishing just after first light and we were thick in the fish.  But after 1.5 hours, I'd had enough of the supidity.  I've fished the Puyallup for 20 years and never seen it as crowed as it was Saturday.
Sounds bad. I wasn't aware it could get much worse.

Can be, in my experience. The color certainly affects fish movement and I think spreads it out substantially. Lower river tidal effects are probably more important than time of day.  :twocents:

Not that I want evening competition but I decided to detour home and stop by the river 1st. Water is way down. Just watched 2 fish get caught in the 5 min I was there. A nice lady said everyone had been catching all day.

I fished it this AM.  I thought it was marginal fishing.  95% pinks getting caught where I was.  actually out of maybe 25 fish or so caught from 5am-730 only one was a small native king that was foul hooked.  I caught a few but all pinks so I left.  I am not a fan of eating pinks.

Took the ferry from Edmonds to Kinston today. Pinks were jumping like crazy on both sides of the sound. Not so much in the middle but both shorelines were nonstop jumpers.
Fish hard, hunt harder!

Caught a one man limit between two of us last evening. Pink 2.5" buzzbomb with a white glo hoochie was the hot rig. Probably 30-40 other people fishing and we only saw one other guy catch.
