Nookie on your hookie
« on: July 12, 2022, 09:09:32 AM »
Who's going for the opener?  Wowser, check your tide tables it's a mid-day doozie.  I'm sure there will be all kinds of fun sights at the local launches for lunch break viewing pleasure.

Don't need to go since we've been doing good on the coast.
But probably end up doing the evening till dark tide change..
The morning crowd is going to be a complete mess.

You guys have all the fun.  I'll be leaving my fenders out for the local action.

Careful about waiting...
If my math is correct the season in 9 won't make it much past the first 3 days.

If you are planning on launching at Mukilteo be advised that the ramps are in very bad shape.  All lanes are full of gravel and drift wood and are pretty much unusable.  I talked to a city worker and he told me they will be cleaning it Friday on the low tide.  So, tomorrow and Friday morning it will be clown show. 

I might get some fish & chips at Ivars, sit on the beach and watch the rigs get stuck, boats get grounded, maybe a fist fight or two.  Should be entertaining.

But they should have it clear for the weekend.

At Everett, there should be people stuck at the launch and probably a sailboat or three aground out in the main channel at -4.  I'm thinking the entire launch basin will be mud at that level.

I'm gonna sit this opener out purely due to the tides/launches. I should have a day or 2 off midweek so hopefully will get out then. Good luck out there!

I'm probably gonna hit it early Friday for that 5:30a tide change, but will be done by 6:30 or 7 when the tide gets ripping.

Would like to hit Jeff Head for that opener but running up from Manchester.  Gotta get back by probably 9 just to get the boat out!  It’s a -4 at 11 something.  Yikes…

Probably just fish Southworth…. Good luck out there.

I can't personally believe it has came down to this 3 day deal.  Causes tons of little fish to be taken.  With no blackmouth seasons there are currently a ton of barely legal fish swimming which will most likely account for most of the quota.

All of my friends out fishing 11 and 13 are taking Blackmouth.  They say I got an 11 or two 8's and when I ask for pics they are 23" fish.  Combine that with the shaker "encounters" counted against us and I doubt we take 33% of the official quota in returning adult fish.  Bend over...

Should be 24"-26" minimum.
And encounters are killing the quota's. Whether you report or not fish checker's are averaging an additional 5-10 encounters per fish checked.
I recently heard a checker in area 5 was adding some crazy numbers of encounters,..on her own... how's that for science.
It's a pretty easy system to manipulate. Sadly
