Hit Jeff Head early Sunday morning to see if my father and I could boat a few resident silvers. The wind was out of the South and was whipping up a few white caps but not unmanageable. It seemed to be the popular place as there were many boats in the area, including 3 guide boats. We focused on the Southern tip and fished the drop-off from 100' out to 600' of water. I really think there was only one school of fish in the area and when you went through it, multiple strikes were had. The problem we were having is that they didn't stick, which seemed to be a common theme among the other boats around us. We both started out using spoons, my dad with a coyote and I with a coho killer. After a couple of failed strikes I switched over to a hoochie tipped with bait. This resulted in more of the same, and this with 2 razor sharp gamas on the hoochie! My father finally boated 1 silver that went about 18" who had managed to hook itself through the roof of its mouth. We also picked up a 6" shaker blackmouth bouncing bottom in 120' of water just to see what was down there lurking around all the bait we saw on the finder. I had a kids baseball game to attend in the early afternoon so we called it quits at 10:00am and ran back to Shilshole Bay.
