Isnt it 4 days? Wasn't the 16th the opener? Either way, if the fishing keeps up it wont make it to two weekends.

Hatchery chinook retention to close in Marine Area 9
Action: Marine Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet) will be closed to the retention of hatchery chinook salmon beginning Monday, July 23.
Effective date: 12:01 a.m. Monday, July 23, 2018.
Species affected: Hatchery chinook salmon.
Location: Marine Area 9 (Admiralty Inlet), except the Edmonds Fishing Pier.
Reason for action: Preliminary estimates indicate that anglers have caught over half of the summer quota since the fishery opened July 16. The fishery will close to allow fishery managers to re-evaluate the catch after the weekend of fishing to determine how much available quota remains. Should there be sufficient catch available, WDFW will announce when the fishery will reopen to harvest the remaining quota.
Additional information: Anglers can continue to retain hatchery chinook in Marine Area 9 through the end of the day Sunday, July 22.
After Sunday, salmon fishing will remain open in Marine Area 9, where anglers can retain hatchery coho salmon as part of their two-salmon daily limit but must release chinook, chum, and wild coho. Hatchery chinook fishing remains open in all other marine areas of Puget Sound except Areas 8-1, 8-2, and Area 12 north of Ayock Point.
The Edmonds Fishing Pier will remain open to the retention of chinook as listed in the Washington Sports Fishing Rules pamphlet.
For specific regulations, anglers should consult the 2018-19 Washington Sports Fishing Rules pamphlet available online at http: //wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/.
Anglers can check WDFW's website at https: //wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/reports_plants.html for the latest information on marine areas that are managed to a quota or guideline.
Information contact: David Stormer, Puget Sound recreational salmon fishery manager, (360) 902-0058 or Mark Baltzell, Puget Sound salmon manager, (360) 902-2807.

My kid and I took advantage of the early tide change yesterday. We started at 5:00a and bonked our second king at 5:37a. Then we switched to coho, and were done at 6:30a. Another nice July coho in the mix, this one was right at six lbs. Kings were 7 and 10 lbs. We released another clipped king in the 8 lb range. Just great fishing out there.
Nice haul. :tup: M10?

Yes, still in MA10. My kid was all excited to make the trek to MA9 for the last day (we launch at Shilshole), so we loaded up on gas and food to make a day out of it. He was hell bent on catching our kings. But I wanted to make an early stop so we could fish first light and the tide change, and we never made it out of there.
Post by: WAcoueshunter on July 30, 2018, 10:48:46 AM
that is a solid coho at 6 lbs.
No kidding, that's our second one like that. Both were unclipped, wonder if there's an early coho run in one of the south sound rivers? The rest of the cohos we've caught have all been in the 3 lb. range, presumably all residents.

There’s at least one good sized one swimming around out there. He has a white lightning Coho Killer stuck in his jaw. If you happen upon him I’d like my spoon back.

I did see a few good fish caught, but they were at least 10:1 with the dinks where we were fishing. The deepest water we were in was 150', so they may have done better out in the channel.
Great day, just wish I could have found a nook or two.

Most of ours have been 8 - 12. We got two that were bigger, but both came after we had bonked our kings for the day and got a free pass. Here's the biggest one, he was probably in the 20 range. That's a 4" spoon hanging out of his mouth for reference.id love to find that one out there :tup:

If you really want a big one you are probably going have to toss back a few 8-15 lbers.

Notice how the “wild” fish in the picture is missing an adipose fin? I wonder if your average Washingtonian knows the differences in our salmon, where they come from and the politics behind them.
SR1
I think they are referring to "wild" as in "from the ocean free swimming" vs. the farmed fish from Costco that swim in a pen someplace and are fed pellets.
Even using the WDFW definition, fish with an adipose aren't necessarily "wild", they just aren't hatchery for sure. Some fish make it through the machine without getting marked, some hatchery fish breed in the wild and some native hatcheries don't mark fish at all.

You can also achieve the pellicle by putting in on the counter with a fan.
its quicker in the fridge if you have room is the only issue. i rarely do so it takes 3-4 hrs of so with a fan on the counter

Nothing came home in the cooler tonight. Released 6-7 undersized Kings and unfortunately (or fortunately because I hadn’t caught any natives this year) released two natives that were 20-25 lbs. so nothing in the freezer but some damn fun fishing

Marine Area 10 to close to hatchery chinook retention
Action: Marine Area 10 (Seattle/Bremerton) will be closed to the retention of hatchery chinook salmon beginning Friday, Aug. 17.
Effective date: 12:01 a.m. Friday, Aug. 17, 2018.
Species affected: Hatchery chinook salmon.
Location: Marine Area 10 (Seattle/Bremerton), excluding the year-round piers.
Reason for action: Preliminary estimates indicate that anglers have harvested more than 90 percent of the summer chinook quota since the fishery opened on July 16. The fishery will close to allow fishery managers to re-evaluate the catch and determine if any quota remains.
Additional information: Marine Area 10 will remain open to the retention of hatchery and wild coho salmon as part of the two salmon daily limit. Anglers must release chinook and chum. Sinclair Inlet remains open for the retention of hatchery chinook through Sept. 30. Anglers fishing the year-round piers have a daily limit of two salmon, one of which may be a chinook, but must release chum through Sept. 15.
For specific regulations, anglers should consult the 2018-19 Washington Sports Fishing Rules pamphlet available online at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/regulations/.
Anglers can check WDFW’s website at https://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/reports_plants.html for the latest information on marine areas that are managed to a quota or guideline.
Information contact: David Stormer, Puget Sound recreational salmon fishery manager, (360) 902-0058 or Mark Baltzell, Puget Sound salmon manager, (360) 902-2807.

My folks were coming into town and wanted me to take them out Friday, looks like it won't be for area 10 kings..Darn it.
Well I was out on that mid day tide yesterday and only caught shakers. Didn’t see any fish caught either. This was at Jeff Head. I am not a 10% er so maybe it was just me but it was lights out last week and nothing yesterday.
