Title: Who is going out for Kings Saturday?
Post by: Ripper on July 14, 2016, 09:53:40 AM: I love this fishery! Toss out the crab pots and hit Possession bar, or head to Mid Channel Bank. I'll probably be at the outer bar or somewhere near Pt no Pt for the low tide. Let's see some pics and maybe some info on gear used to help out some of the less experienced anglers. To me, that's what this site is all about. Sharing "some" info to help others be successful. I will be trolling flashers and spoons. For flashers, usually something green with some flash. I like the Kingfisher 3.5" spoons. You can go to John's Sporting Goods page for specifics. I troll these off my downright within 5' of the bottom. It takes work but keep adjusting for the best success. Then I like to run a deep six or a cannonball weight off the back with the same set up for the suspending fish. I have caught a few hogs on the center rod. Good luck everyone and don't wait, this one won't be open for long. Don't forget to post some pics.

:yeah: Sometimes a white/glow flasher, but usually some sort of green. Same on the Kingfishers, usually something with green and white/silver. My starting point is usually the Irish Cream.

A couple good memories from this fishery in recent years. The last one was a solo trip - caught my two kings, then brought up the gear and finished it off with two pinks.

Post by: hunt_fish on July 14, 2016, 07:18:48 PM: We'll most likely fish Jeff's Head Saturday. Has anyone fished during the C&R time up in area 9 or 10? How's it been going if you had fished it? We run uv purple haze flashers with the e-chip. Probably run a herring with a head on it or cutplug herring while we run a purple haze squid with a herring strip. If my friend comes, we'll put a spoon on the third rod with the herring strip.

Post by: HvyHorn338 on July 14, 2016, 08:07:26 PM: I'm missing the area 9 opener for the first time in quite awhile because we're headed for Sekiu on Sunday am for the week. The crowd at midchannel can be brutal, but a chance at catching bright and feisty kingers relatively close to home is hard to beat. Also hard to beat the CK's and Kingfisher spoons. Good luck.

Jeff Head is Area 10. Area 10 isn't open this summer.

Hasn't been a C&R season this year either.

Area 10 opens tomorrow (July 16th) for Chinook retention. There is a quota of roughly 1300 chinook . There were good reports coming from the C/R season but the fish were small overall, 10lbs or less.
I won't be making it out for the opener unfortunately, I have a wedding to attend. :ACRY:

Post by: Ripper on July 18, 2016, 11:08:43 AM: Fishstiq, I'll help out anyway I can. I will fish with you or you can fish with me. I'll show you how to fillet, it's not that hard. Your knife needs to be real sharp before you begin. We didn't have to worry about filleting fish on Sat. 4 shakers, 4 dogfish, 5 flounder and 2 rockfish. We did limit out on crab with 15. It made for a couple of meals.

Post by: jackmaster on July 18, 2016, 11:19:57 AM: We got one small king yesterday out at point defiance, when we pulled out at noon we were the 2 nd fish to be checked, we had a bunch of big crab but we hit the mother load of females and one almost legal male

Post by: h20hunter on July 18, 2016, 06:14:03 PM: I like the ace high fly on a short leader behind a purple uv flasher. No bait cause of dogs. Might be out this saturday at PNP seeing what I can find.

Post by: Fishstiq on July 18, 2016, 06:19:46 PM: Some good offers here, I'll be taking you guys up on those!

Man, I hope the season lasts until this weekend, and the weather is good, and that other crap works out so we can go try for them!!

Post by: lazydrifter on July 18, 2016, 06:57:49 PM: Here's one from MA6 on the 4th of July. Came on a coho killer. Color was Herring Aid. Season started out with a bang but has dropped off to very slow.
