I just noticed that they reduced the Chinook limit to 1 fish this year. :bash:
I read that too. I think it is because the quota has been getting burned up so fast on Possession the last couple seasons. Instead of an emergency closure early they want to keep the season going a little longer.

This is great news for us South Sound fishers! :tup:
We have always just got one. Once they opened 9 and 10 again after years, our fishing went way south.
It actually has been decent down here since the June 1 opener. And hopefully will stay that way.

South sound gets to fish Chinook from June 1 – Dec 31 and they begrudge a North sound 2 fish limit for our short season? Something’s wrong with that logic.
Like there are abundent adult Chinook after the first week in August. June can be spotty to none. Late July is the best, just like up there. Thats what we look forward too all year.
Dont believe we have good adult Kings June thru Dec. Besides July and part of Aug. The South sound is a spotty, not worth it fishery.

It's never been a 1 fish Chinook limit down in Area 11 and it isn't this year either, at least I don't remember it being one when I was young fishing down there when they had Area 9 and 10 closed for years. I'm sure this will get people gripping about it for next year too, to make all of those areas a 1 fish Chinook limit if they're going to do it to 9 and 10.
But I won't be able to get over there to fish Jeff Head until the weekend of the 25th. Anyone know how the resident Coho fishing has been there?

What a knuckle head I am. I have interpreted it wrong for how long? Lol I always thought (combined) meant 1 of each specie, up to 2 fish.
All those days we fled thinking we were limited. :bash:

If you look at the fish catch numbers from last year there is no way the sportsman reached the quota. They closed it and we never did reach the King quota.

Most of our North quota was eaten up by fish that were never retained. If the fish counter asks you if you released a any fish the go against the areas quota. So, every wild fish you say you released goes against the quota.

:yeah: The only fish I've ever caught are the ones in the cooler :chuckle:... Never any shakers or natives...
Any one do any good in 9 today? I had a friend go out and didn't catch any thing.
