Team Nimble Whale limited the boat (4) in MA9 (Possession) and picked up a dozen hard keeper crabs in the pots. Nothing hot by any means, but we managed to get one fish that was an honest 19 lbs on a scale and the rest were your typical Puget Sound footballs.. A ton of small black mouth and one or two resident coho rounded out the trip. Fish wanted nothing to do with the Tomics, didn't seem to care at all about the Killer of Cohos but seeemed to key in on spoons. Didn't really see to many legit keepers getting pulled out the water, but I know some people had success there too.

Heard good reports up and down river from us, so I'm going to agree what streamer said. Some fish to be had with more new fish moving in.

Already seems to be a much better season that last year - at least in terms of getting fish to bite.

I think Team Nimble Whale is going to move upstream and fish some unchartered waters for the crew. May reach out to a couple of you (certain Mod) if we seem to be wallowing in sucktitude by choosing to fish someplace new (for us).

I better not see a pink tomorrow, let alone hook or land one!

Just because I've always loved to include photos with my reports, here's a classic Bleeder Bucket photo with the 19. Gotta love it when the tail sticks WAY out of the bucket!!!!



Shameless Plug: I got to try out the Simon 360 Breakaway/Bumpers and so far, have really liked them. They are easy to install, easy to setup and easy to fish. Why fight the flasher when you don't have too? So nice not to fight that stupid flasher. I would highly recommend taking a look at them in your future for both here in your local waters and down at B10 or on the columbia with the kicker/360 flashers:
