I went out with my Mom (of all people - but she had a great time - hadn't fished for salmon for decades). We launched just south of I-90 on the west side of Mercer in my little 14' Portabote. We had a good time, but no bites and we only saw one boat catch one. Maybe banana weights (no DR or fishfinder)are not the way to go. I'm still hoping to catch my first sockeye this year - if they open it for another day.
