I got 7 fish last Friday, 1 small king and 6 hatchery silvers. Saturday I got 1 small king and 4 wild silvers, plus a number of lings. Both days I let the king go thinking I would get a bigger one. Both kings were the first of the day, caught within a minute or so of dropping my downriggers the first time. Water was a bit rough, but I took it slow and made out just fine. While my boat is only 18 feet, it is a heavy deep "V" and handled the 5 foot swells and 1 foot wind waves just fine.

Both days I fished right outside of Tatoosh towards Skagway. I used my salmon net to break up a bait ball and literally got a net full of herring. I gave a lot to some other boats out there and brought home 3 gallon bags.
