put the boat down the boathouse elevator and started out at about 2pm at the slag pile for nothing, moved to several places afterwards like in the ferry terminal, boathouse, owen beach, clay banks, pt. defiance, the flats and several other spots in between to end up back where we started. one herring caught near salmon beach was the only thing boated. felt the bait hitting our lines around the slag pile though. had what was probably a flounder near the boathouse. plenty of seals out so we may not have gotten any salmon in the boat anyway.
we were using jigs, pt. wilson darts mostly but tried butterfly jigs also. many different colors.
no other boats out may have been a clue to the fishing conditions.
