I fish regularly in area 10 for many years, mostly around the east side, West Point to the oil docks. The charters listed by stonefish are out there every day. We are old and slow so we start late and finish early. When we leave the ramp at Shilshole and turn the corner around the breakwater and see the All Start boat we know there is no reason to go any place else.

It may be difficult to find an open spot because coho fishing is hot right now and will probably stay hot for the next few weeks. I looked at the counts through the locks, almost 3300 for the first 5 days of the month and about 1300 on Wednesday alone. Wednesday morning was socked in but a crowd was out, we saw All Star a couple of times pass by. It was a typical trip for us ,launch about 7:15 and always several boats of early folk taking out with their limits. We fished about 3 1/2 hours, landed 3 keepers and lost about 5 (love those barbless hooks).
