Hey A-Dog, I'm also starting to get a little bummed as I'm still salmonless for 08(only blackmouth I caught @ pt lawrence got chomped by a seal...well released some native's @ Seiku on the 4th...and a long distance release @ Kingston a week or so ago, but in my home turf.....nothing...which in the last few years has become more common than I'd like.... Area 7E opens soon, and some of my favorite close spots will also.....watched a native seiner the other day set right outside of about 300 recreational pots off Aliza....pulled about a 5 gallon bucket of something bigger than herring/maybe some herring.....none of it left the boat....reefnet's on lummi had a sockeye opening today and some fish were caught....Might drag the boat to keystone/edmonds and fish Mid channel/Kingston depending....Saw you had the same plan.....I'd be in a 19ft Olympic w/Yamaha motor.....all your pics are motivating...Tom
