Northwest Fishing Reports

hey guys im thinking about heading out on sunday and fishing jefferson head in my tub. I have never fished this area before so im looking for an expereinced fisherman/boater who knows the area and has just fished the sound alot. My boat can fish 3 comfortably although it is a sled so if you have crap sea legs you dont wanna be on my tubwhich is a 20' TJ with a hard top.

Wish I could help but I am still trying to pull my first out of the salt this year and I am a little south of you.

no worries mate, lacey is a ways off...i guess ill be out there bymyself at this rate..

If you wanna head north I know a thing or two about MA 9. I fish area 9 pretty often, don't make the run down to 10 very often.

Hit Jeff Head over the 4th of July weekend and was finding some blackmouth out in front of the Kingston Ferry.

Troll with the tide, 100-150 feet of water, keep one down near the bottom, the other 20-50 feet of the bottom. Coho Killers are Ace Hi Fly's have been my best lures this season. Buddy got a 25+ lb hatchery the other day, I've heard the fishing has picked up a bit as of late, I'ma be trying my hand this weekend if all goes as planned...

well my plan was to fish jeff head in the morning and if nothing happened i was gonna shoot for the shipwreck.

Not sure if humpies are down around shipwreck just yet. They are pushing hard up through Admiralty Inlet and along the west side of Whidbey Island.

King fishing has picked up, I'm at odds as to where to fish in MA 9/10 this weekend...

well i hear they shutting down A9 for kings after sunday august 10th.

I haven't heard anything about it....

No report on the WDFW site either...

Didn't think the catch rates were that high, I'd be surprised to see it shut down so soon...

im looking for the article, it was a seattle times report which stated a wdfw saying theyre approaching 4000 hatchery kings being caught im sure i saw the date being the 10th of this month....

I will be out Saturday the 8th hopefully by first light working the south section of area-8 maybe the shipping lanes for a silver, and might try the 8/9 border near the shipwreck to see if the pinks are in which I believe they are not with exception to the stray. Might even fish Possession for a bit. I just hope to catch a fish. Good luck all.

well im stilll leaning to the jefferson and then apple cove and finally ship wreck humpy hollow hoping to be on the water 5am and off the water noon.

Pinks have been running hard down the west side of Whidbey Island lately, fishing is still a few days out at Humpy Hollow (shipwreck - mukilteo stretch) but they are starting to get a few out there.

great info fishnlife......im tryin to get my mate to come out at 3am so i can get on the water earlier but he is a lightweight or should i say heavy weight when it comes to sleeping......
