pinks are coming

[Big Smooth]

Well, I hope to go to Dash Point pier on Thursday. I hope I will be catching.
On the 2nd the creel report said Dash Point had 20 pinks.

Pinks are showing up. Lots of Anglers at Browns point in their hip waders. Seen quite a few taken this weekend.:cyclopsan

[Basstard]

do the pinks run the San Juans at all?

[Bodofish]

Every where! You can't keep the darn things off your line.........

Toni, i also saw in the creel report that there wa 94 people on the Dash Point Pier the other day, gonna be fun fishing there, im thinking of taking my waders and heading down the beach (probably still will be crowded) or wading in at the state park.

[Basstard]

I have always fished them in the Skagit as it is only a 5 minute drive for me. My question sinse I am out in the sound alot do they run through the san juans at all and where?
Thanks for any info.

I am hoping that a weekday morning will have less people than a Sunday. Yes, I have been there when there were that many people at least if not more. The most sickening part is those that see a fish, shout it out, and the rush is on to throw thier buzz bomb or dart at the fish. If the dock were a boat it would tip over. Talk about snaggers?

bs aint it

[kcc]

Aint that the truth Toni. Been there done that, fish flying thru the air, people jumping in front of you, all those tangled lines, I love it. For that many people jammed together Im surprised by how friendly it all was (this was 2years ago), didnt see any fights or nothing break out. Im also thinken of taking off on a weekday, see if i can get a spot to call my own. Good luck

The pinks are in

[scott080379]

I spent three hours at point no point today with such luck. got a couple of bites and that's about it

[curado]

there were tons of pinks at point no point. we were 150 yards off the beach and saw school after school of them breaking the surface

I saw 5 come in and a silver get brought in by a boat that was sitting ab out 100 yards out.

I know they are there but didn't want to bite anything I was throwing out there

Don't worry about it Scott, it happens. There are plenty of pinks to be caught right now, but the pinks aren't even close to being "in". Its still slow right now. Monday caught 1, Tuesday caught 2, Wednesday caught 1, Thursday caught 0, Friday caught 5, today caught 0. Every time I fished with a minimum of 2 other people. The best day I have had so far was 5 pinks for 3 people. I am not a pro by any means, but in a week or 2, 5 fish per person will be a slow day.

Good go, too bad you didn't have a 2 in front of the 5. :bom:

[curado]

[Bodofish]

Looked like a yummy dinner too. Heading out for a little salt run tomorrow. We'll be targeting all species.... :rambo:
