Milt: Do you rememeber the old hermit who lived on a houseboat in Dewatto Bay? He sold shrimp and whatever to make a few buck. That bay was alive with big coho in the fall. Often they had lockjaw, but they were there in big numbers. The habitat on the Dewatto doesn't seem much degraded so I have to blame over harvest.

As far as the nets getting the big cutts, I don't doubt it . They should still be around in the bay now. We used to catch them up to Thanksgiving.
