Well we killed a 16 lb king around redondo, no pinks and it took a few hours to get the king. Still very slow, saw a few guys fishing at browns point but didn't see any caught.
“In common with”..... not so much!!

Here is a pic  ... My biggest salmon ever, so even though it was slow, I am stoked to get back out there!!  :IBCOOL:

I was out at Eagle Pt on the SW side of San Juan Island again yesterday. We got a 17# king and 3 humpies. Lost a few others, it was a pretty good evening. The pinks were between 3 and 7 #s. They will be here in the Everett area any day now. Rule of thumb is Aug 10 when fishing gets hot. Good luck to all.

Pink....   :chuckle:

I think you could tie anything that has a wavy tail and it would work.

Ripper, how deep did you get the King?

65' Lokidog. Funny, I had a green flasher and squid at 100', and a green/white flasher and pink and white squid at 65, and it hit the shallow one. the pinks hit the deep one.

Just got back from going to Browns Point and Dash Point to take a look around and see what is going on.  Lots and lots of people on the shores and dock and a good number of boats out there.  I was at each spot about 20 minutes.  I seen 2 hooked and 1 landed at Browns Point and nothing hooked at Dash Point.

Thanks.

We fished last Sunday with no fishfinder as I must have hit a stick and broke the mount on the way fishing.  Got it fixed so hopefully we can target the fish depth better, though it seemed not too necessary last week.   8)

The only person who has failed is the one who never tried.

Not sure about the rivers.  Fished Friday with three and only landed one with one other on and lost, it was quite windy.  There were about twenty purse seine and gill net boats out off Eagle Point.  Not sure how any fish could make it through that gauntlet....   :bash:   A friend and his wife went out today and in less than two hours landed four.

Heading out tomorrow, hopefully we can put some in the boat.

They are here, almost can't wait to take my kids out with me & get them hooked!

On my selfish side, I gotta pay respect to the Kings & get some 'me time' in while I can.

This one was hauled in by my buddy Saturday morning!
