I JUST got back from fishing in the San Juans, and it was absolutely dead. We fished in virtually every "hot spot," which included the east side or Orcas Island in two different locations, during ebb, flood, and in between, all to no avail. We were at it for three days, and during that time we only saw one 18 incher caught. All boats were doing the same thing...downrigging behind a dodger with either a coyote spoon or squid. We fished alongside two charters all day Sunday, and they didn't touch a fish.

When we pulled out the boat, we ran into a biologist doing a check and he said that only one fish was taken at Anacortes and none along the San Juans.

We did, however, catch our fair share of dogfish and cod!!

Regardless, it was a beautiful weekend, so hit it!!
