People need to quit posting these numbers all over the place. We have all seen them a bunch of times already and it is just making me more and more depressed each time. #-o

Easy Matt. There may be some yet. My buddy that lives in Columbia City Oregon, he fishes the Columbia 4-5 times a week ( he is also retired) told me tonight that it showed some life today for Silvers off the Cowlitz. 3 in his boat today got 3 hatchery keepers and released 2 wild Silvers trolling spinners. Those are his first Silvers this year. I'd go down and fish with him but our anniversary is Friday!

I'm going to give Everett a shot tomorrow.

So since I'm not doing the Derby this weekend, I wonder if the chances of catching something are better in the San Juans? Or fighting the crowd down in Area 9??? Thoughts?

Haha barchaser, I won't lose my top....:-& . Unfortunately the CR and PS are two completely different and unique creatures :bom:

I still got my fingers crossed and my boat will be on the water every day till my freezer won't close.

Still early, lots of fish being caught of fish being caught off westport. Once the straights get hot and they will start looking ofr them more in the sound.

Launched at Everett and arrived at the Shipwreck about 6:45. At 8:30 right in front of the Shipwreck in 200 foot of water I nailed an 8 pound hen at 60 feet. Mature eggs. Nothing else. Got back at Everett at 1:00 and the fishchecker said mine was fish #2 for 83 guys! I felt like I hit the lottery! Good news, the fishchecker said he was talking to another fishchecker today who was checking over at CQ and the other guy said the bite has picked up a lot over at CQ. So maybe the fish are moving some.

My friends are still at Sekiu and they finally got some Coho to keep. They got their limit in an hour and a half yesterday morning. Last Monday the only silver we hooked was mine but we had to release it because it was unclipped.
Wednesday they finally started hooking them. Lots of unclipped fish.
