We fished Neah Bay 1/2 day thursday, all day Friday & morning of Saturday. Only brought home 3 kings for the boat plus the normal sea bass bonanza (all ya want).
We caught a handful of silvers but released all of them. Results were fairly typical & better than most (if they fished inside anyway).
Biggest king was 18+ lbs. Results were pretty slow for just about everybody we spoke to plus the fish are almost all small. Very few fish over 20lbs being caught yet. We saw one nice one that was near 30# caught in front of Waddah but it was an anomaly. Ralph the fish cleaner & the WADF fish checkers all had seen very few larger fish. Best location was at Umatilla based upon our results plus talking to many others. I only ran into one boat that claimed to have caught more than a single fish inside, everyone with multiple fish had run down to Umatilla (one other to Port Renfrew side). We decided not to run down there Saturday as the winds came up and waves were getting nasty even in the morning, chose not to get a 1.5 hour pounding running down there, so we ended up only fishing inside Tatoosh Saturday, which no doubt effected our results. On a side note, fishing pressure was the lightest I have seen in July in the last 7 years. On a holiday weekend I expected a lot more fisherman. Businesses were really hurting. The Cape camground was only half full at most as well as the marina. I noticed also there were very few boats returning from Canadian waters with the normal halibut & bottom fish smorgasboard. I have to assume the high price of gas this summer is the culprit for the much lighter turnouts. I know for me I was out around $500 for gas for the truck & boat combined for the trip which makes for some pretty pricey fish & chips tonight!
