When do pinks taper off in saltwater?

Post by C. Elmer » Mon Aug 24, 2009 8:12 am

I apologize if this questions is answered in another post somewhere, but I can't find it... this is my first year fishing for pinks, mostly off of browns point, and I'm having an excellent time. I'm just wondering when we can expect the action to taper off in saltwater? Thanks,

I assume the runs in the salt will end by the end of September. The regs that allow for two additional pinks end on Sept. 30. Thats in area 10 and 11 where I fish.

Your southern run is an earlier run than the Snohomish river one. Yours should have peaked already and be on the decline (for salt wateer). The river is where you should fish.
