R&R Charters had a bunch from over off San Juan tonight.  About twenty, including two really nice sockeye.  I think I will try to head over there tomorrow evening and maybe Sunday as well.

They are in the Tacoma area.  You just need to find some beach access or a boat

My cousin and I were out for 16 hours on Saturday, we landed three hatchery kings in that time. We weren't going for pinks but when the daughter and wife arrived at noon, we started trolling one of the rods shallow and put many miles on with nothing hitting the shallow rod. We were at dolphin point, three tree mostly.

Called the boat house today at 3pm. 8 fish coming in from the clay banks with one weighing in at 22lbs. A few pinks off the mouth of the Puyallup, but very slow and the action around Browns and Dash point is picking up slowly.

Cousin went out yesturday at 3 tree and got skunked, just an evening fish though.  Did have a guy next to him catch a 25 lb'er.  But no net out other than that, pretty slow right now.  We are going out tonight hopefully will pick up for us, will keep you posted.

 I have been out 4 times now, mostly at 3 tree and Robinson. I am skunked so far and have only seen one caught at Robinson. All evening trips. I did see a few pinks jumping last night. I sure hope it picks up for the Kings soon.

Stopped in at browns Point at Lunch today and seen 6 fish caught in the 10 min. I was there. Only 2 were landed. There were about 20 guys there trying the luck at the tide change. Average size was about 4lbs.

Gonna have to give it a try tomorrow after work  ;)

Just got back from neah bay trying for kings, humpies attacked anything from 6.0 coyote spoons to silver horde plugs, any manner of hoochie and cut plug herring. Couldn't find anything in my box they wouldn't hit. almost frustrating!

The tried and true rig is a pink hoochie behind a flasher or dodger. In truth, they will hit just about anything.
