Gary-

I've had great days on the opener in july. 2 years ago we hammered them and they ran 6-8lbs. Last year they were sparse and a smallish 4lbs. Everything was late last year, but look for the best tides in early to mid august. You can hit them pretty well at Sekiu, but overall, I've had a way higher percentage of amazing days at Neah. A lot less company too. Last year the fish came into the strait really late and you had to run to swiftsure bank (12 miles) if you watch the weather and the tides, you can hit it so it is glass the entire way. On the other hand, it can be puke city too. I have seen 14 foot boats out at swiftsure, but I dont think I'd do it..... It is seriously, the best fishing you could ask for most days in august. Maybe I'll see you there! ELKRUN
