Post by: MADMAX on July 17, 2014, 11:52:59 AM: I plan on waiting until it gets better, 6 bucks a pack for herring and 405 a gallon for gas makes for a 100 dollar day
I need to go practice 60 and 70 yds at KBH anyway

Post by: Birdguy on July 17, 2014, 07:20:04 PM: Guys at work who took yesterday off were pretty disappointed with the catching. I understand the fishing was good the weather was great and the beverages cold but the catching was poor.

Post by: Netminder01 on July 17, 2014, 07:50:21 PM: I was out yesterday for the Hansville tourney. Not many boats with bent rods that I saw. We netted one native, released and had no other bites. We only heard a few boats hook up compared to the numbers we saw out there - we fished mostly around point no point.

Post by: _TONY_ on July 17, 2014, 07:53:42 PM: Heading out again in the am... Been really slow. Only four fish hit the deck out of five of my buddies boats that were fishing the last two days...

Hopefully, we'll hit at least one tomorrow.

Title: Re: Area 9
Post by: Stein on July 20, 2014, 06:22:15 PM: Hit mid channel bank Wednesday and Thursday. Hooked and bonked an 8# on Wednesday and nothing on Thursday. We were definitely in the top 5% with that one 8# fish. Graph showed absolutely no bait and the rest of the 200 boats showed not many salmon there.

I'm not sure what the deal was, but the salmon and baitfish didn't get the memo about the red hot opener. The fog was pretty thick on Wednesday, a few guys played bumper boats with the ferries. I almost got pegged by a guy running N-S right in the middle of the channel at full bore while we were crossing. No lights, no lookout, just full throttle.

Post by: CP on July 22, 2014, 06:56:00 AM: It’s shaping up to be the worst season since they reopened this fishery. So far I’ve had 2 hits and released 2 native kings. I hope they extend the season because there is no way the quota is going to be reached unless something dramatic happens soon.

Post by: MADMAX on July 27, 2014, 08:53:17 AM: sounds like its still pretty slow
I think I may do Seiku next weekend
Title: Re: Area 9
Post by: hunt_fish on July 27, 2014, 11:01:48 AM: Ended up hitting 1 keeper blackmouth yesterday morning in A10 for the first time out this year. Caught a couple small shakers and a small resi coho. Was going to go out this morning but wasn't feeling up to it. It'll be another week or two before those fish move in that aren't resident it looks like from the creel reports. I only saw two small shakers get caught. Sekiu sounds like a safe bet though from reports I've seen. Sad thing is they'll probably close A9/A10 before the bulk of the run comes through.

Madmax, good luck on the fishing and congrats on the retirement, 38 years is a long time no matter what you do. Hope you get that many years in retirement as well.

Title: Re: Area 9
Post by: tmike on July 29, 2014, 10:17:55 AM: Fished Mid Channel and Wilson yesterday and the day before. I can usually scratch up a few but only had one chance jigging and that one came undone. Only saw 2 nets fly the entire time. The gal at the gas dock said the day before 20 fish were checked for 40 boat so there were a few around, just not for us. To add insult to injury when I was flushing my Yamaha something popped and it's now dead all the way to the key. Grrrrrrr! Not sure what to do there.

Yeah, seems that several runs just aren't showing up. First, I jinxed Midchannel, then Baker Lake. I'm afraid to make plans for B10, but it seems to be a good move to press pause now, save vacation and hit the Columbia hard. Hopefully the coho show up here for September.

The Edmonds Coho derby was Saturday and the winning fish came from area 9. It’s still pretty slow though.

Title: Re: Area 9
Post by: 7mmfan on September 09, 2014, 07:11:41 AM: Been out down off Shipwreck/Browns Bay and out into the shipping lanes a couple times this last week. Was really good before the derby, was definitely slower yesterday out there, but we found a few. Had to search a little deeper for them...
