Pt. Defiance

[kramman]

Anybody fishing the s. sound yet?I have not been out but I had a terrible year last year fishing.The bad taste is still there.Just wondering if anyones had any success yet.

I was out there last week.  Saw about 4 salmon get boated, two lost to seals, and one to a troller.  Jigging or trolling seems to be the best bet.

I'd rather fish the coast..The launch fee's are too high for my blood, for two salmon (maybe)..

Point D has been a little slow, but my fishing buddy aka J-Rod fishes the area several times a week told me he has boated two in the last two trips. The area is a hit and miss place, but later in the summer I will be there for sure! Good luck and talk to the fish counters at the launch, they are happy to let you know what is comming in and out.

 MA 11 stunk last year, fished it several times with only a couple hits, then hit the rivers and hooked 80 fish. Makes me wonder why I have a boat.

about 3-4 years ago when we first got our lund with fancy down riggers and whatnot we fished a lot between Defiance and Case Inlet. we caught fish in both areas consistently. Not a lot, but never skunked.

the last few years since then it's been incredibly slow. I don't I caught anything out there last year but maybe a rockfish when I dragged bottom one time. I'd like to work the area again this summer but like you said.. bad taste in my mouth. especially after the incredible pink run we had in the puyallup last fall.

so i was not the only one who had a shi#$y year last year.Ill be out there in a couple of weeks trolling around stimulating the economy.Probably would be cheaper just to go to safeway.2 yrs ago we caught fish fom july1st all the way till muzzle deer season
1st kings then right into silvers last year the only fish I had on I lost to a seal.

I'm gonna fish it this year a bit... Only went once last year when pinks were thick and managed to nail a limit of silvers  that put a good taste in my mouth 

[jjdavis2222]

Going to hit up three tree tonight. Most likly will be just a boating trip but its nice out and you never know! I will let you guys know how it goes.

[kramman]

sure like to know where everyone is having sucess catching silvers;I use to hook into silvers under the narrows bridge then the new bridge was built and nothing.There were nights 3 of us would limit in 2hrs pulling straight herring.I wonder what changed

Ive only made it out once this year so far. My dad nailed one and I lost another. We only got to fish for about and hour and a half. I plan on hitting it more in another week or so. Pops and I typically always put at least one in the boat each time out. Been fishing Pt Defiance for about 13 years now so we got it down. Silvers don't typically start showing up until August.
