I had posted open fishing seat, but i seems like nobody is interested in winter fishing. :chuckle: Anyhow I ended up going with my old reliable fishing nut friend . It started great with first hookup of nice size ,yet no legal resident chinook 5 minutes into fishing- I was running 3.5" "Red racer " 42" behind purple flasher about 20' from 12lb ball . After that 2 more shakers on the hook .I missed one which unhooked itself and on the end of slack tide we moved closer to Whidbey Island. By 10:30 switched to Tomic plug and the weather is turning -winds picking up . We have endured waves pounding and constant struggle for another 2 hours and got 2 other shakers and then called it quits.Checker at the boat launch in Everett had no report of any fish caught ,there were 4 other boats on the water.

At least you catch shakers and wild ones. I haven't even been able to do that up here when I go out. So, I spent four hours weeding the garden yesterday which will lead to more food in my fridge than fishing would have. :chuckle:

I have to agree with you Loki..... on the other hand I was looking at Bloodydecks report from the San Juans and it seems like there is lot more fish then around Everett and Seattle . They had 17 fish for 10 boats :bash: .

Good for you getting out there Martin. I finally sold my boat and should be into my new Jetcraft by next weekend. I test drove it yesterday in heavy winds and nasty chop. I have to say, it's the best riding aluminum boat I've ever been in! I'll take you out when I get it all set up. Hopefully we'll put a couple of blackies in it!

Wish I knew where they were and what they are doing that I don't (everything... :chuckle: ). I see a few boats out on Lopez Flats and one or two between Decatur and James. I talked to a guy last week that had gotten a few, one keeper, near Strawberry Island by Cypress.
I'll bide my time for the lingcod/cabezon opener and those tasty spot prawns, and get the garden up and running.

Its time to hit Mid Channel! Now we need the strong winds to die.
-
Great looking ride Ripper , I hope you're getting air seats or does it really ride that smooth ? ...and big thanks for the invite -you know I enjoy fishing with you and crabbing with FC (When he can pull my pots) :chuckle:
Wildmanoutdoors I would hit the Midchannel ,the only problem is the ride time and gas cost........maybe we'll do later this year. Yes the winds are PITA ,there were only 2 boats left saturday -us and 2 guys in Parker cabin boat.
They didn't have fish either .......but like I said looking at BD site some guys got few on saturday around the Islands .......
