I fished Saturday up around the deadline. Like everyone says, the water was nearly perfect. Fishing wasn't hot, but I saw two winter fish landed and one on that got away at the shore. I didn't have any luck, but I do believe there are fish around, just not in great numbers - you just have to find them.

There was a report in the Tacoma paper on Saturday that said there were some bright Chinook and late run Silvers being caught. Has anyone seen or heard of any bright Kings being caught? I thought that was odd.

The on-again/off-again second bait shop is now open "under new ownership." The sign says "Mahaffey's" (sp.?). I have not been in there, but I did notice it was open.
