Title: Salmon opener
Post by: Crunchy on June 22, 2016, 08:58:29 PM: So where does everyone plan on going for the opener on July 1st. I a supposed to work that day but might take it off and hit area 6 or 11 and 13. Depends if my deckhand can play.

Post by: Wetwoodshunter on July 05, 2016, 08:42:48 AM: I fished Sat-Monday. Saturday we kept 6, Sunday 7 and Monday we got 2. Had to go to work today but I will be back on the water Weds- Sunday.

Those super tides sucked, it made it made it nearly impossible to fish where we wanted to go because the waves were stacking and breaking. Lots of people up in Neah Bay got blown off the water.
