No minus tides for the derby. The best tides of the month.

I thought the best tides of the month were this past weekend.
We skunked on Saturday on my neighbor's boat...in fact his boat caught 1 fish in 3 days of fishing and it was a chicken about 12-15#....

These are the best tides of the season and it looks like I'm not going to make it out.

I guess you can't always go by the tides.  Fish are either on or off.

[PA BEN]

Yes last weekend were great tides, but there is less water moving the last weekend of the month. Check out a tide book.

Tomorrow is the Day. Lost a big one out of Sequim today. Money fish tomorrow.

I fished out in PA yesterday.  Man am I beat.  Got up at 4A fished until 3, hour long haul to the boat launch, drove two hours home, cleaned up boat, and then had to work all night.  Was up for 26 hours straight.  Worst part is no fish to show for it.  Unless you count the 6 inch ling cod I caught, and a mess of dog fish.  Some nice halis were caught by other boats, but not many.

We got a 20lb chicken today. A 138, two 70's and a 69 on the board for the top 4 fish. Maybe tomorrow.

My buddy is up there today, got there at 4am and just a couple hours ago said the weather was nice but the fishing sucked. They know what they are doing so I hope the fishing gets better for them and you all.
