Fri: Arrived in Neah on Sat around 1PM. By the time the "stuff" was transferred from truck to boat, boat was launched, trailer rinsed, etc, we hit the water around 3PM and had lines in at Swiftsure around 4PM. Tomic plugs, white or white/green at 180-220 ft and we have 5 kings in the box in the first 90 minutes. Then it took another 90 to get our 6th fish for the limit. No big ones all low to mid teens. Back on the dock around 8/8:30. A great start to a 9 day trip.

Sat: We waited for another friend to arrive and were on the water around 10:00 with lines in around 11:00. Same gig, same place, same gear - slow. We landed one king in about 7-8 hours of trolling. About 5 hours into it, I got bored and put a line around 65-70 feet with a flasher/funky chicken Coyote on it. We pulled in 4 pinks.

Sun: Left the dock around 5:30 and ran to Swiftsure. Same gig again but started out a little higher in the water column as it was still darkish with thick fog all around. Scored one double around 7:30AM within a few 100 yds of J-buoy, but after that, nothing. Around 10:30, I was tired of the fog and no bites and the 8 y.o. boy we had with us was antsy. So we picked up for a trip down to Cape Alava. We stopped for 30-40mins on the NW corner of Table Top and trolled a couple of plugs and flasher hootchie combo and a herring in a rotator. We picked up one 8lb coho. Made it down to Cape Alava and fished a little south of Ozette Island. Loaded up on 40 rockfish, a couple of lings, about 8-10 kelp greenling and a 15# or so Cabezon. Lots of just sub legal lings. E.g. typical bottom fishing in the area.

Tomorrow is a salmon only day and regardless of how hot the bit is, we'll be off the water around noonish so we can rest, vacuum pack etc.
