I just got back from fishing the west side of San Juan and had a good experience. I went out on Friday afternoon, got to Salmon banks about 1:30pm and picked up a couple of nice silvers within an hour or so. Then the killer whales showed up in full force. While there was a couple of them behind my boat, my right downrigger went off with a nice king, the whales didn't go after him thankfully!!! It seemed incredible to me that I was catching fish even with whales around. I picked up one more king and my son and I stopped fishing due to our limit and headed for our moorage spot up the Island at Garrison Bay. I went out the next morning and picked up one more king just outside the harbor by spieden passage and lost one big king that made a couple of nice runs, but got off. That Friday was one of my best day's fishing in the San Juans and a day that I won't forget for a long time. It was also neet to see the whales breaching all the way out of the water.
