It was slow at first light but there were some fish caught.  I got a finned fish about 8 lbs and a clipped about 11 lbs.  Did see a 25lb keeper and another about 20.  Typical point crowd, wasn’t too crazy.  Overall I’d give it a “fair” rating for an opener.

We didn't get the lines wet until 7:45.  Had a 14# in the boat by 8 and then hooked a 30# that we lost at the boat due to some netting difficulties  >:(.  Ended up with another 12# and lost a couple others that were definitely keeper fish if they were clipped.   Wrapped it up around 11:30 as the tide was really starting to push. Overall I'd say it was a pretty good opener. This was at Pt. Defiance.

I launched at Pt D around 5 and bonked an 11 around 7am.  We released a 15, and lost a toad jigging.  Few shakers but I didn't think it was all that great of an opener for mid July.

Fished 2days. Came away with one 12 pounder. Broke off a big one after playing him for a long time. Three came unbuttoned at the boat 2 just a little over keeper size and one about 10. Tons of dogfish. So not the best luck with getting them in the boat but overall a fun couple of days

Anyone going tonight?  Wind looks suspect but still might give it a shot

sorry for the late response, just got home and filet salmon.  Not going tonight but point defiance was blocked by most the wind, it wasn’t bad compared to desMoines area where it was white caps.  I’d go for it!
