Fishing out of Port Townsend, Mooching off Point Wilson on 7/20/14 at sun up I started counting how many hook ups I saw . I stopped counting at 20 I saw numerous good sized Kings boated and a couple of unfortunate fellas that fought a fish for 25 minutes but apparently had no idea how to net one soon as I saw the net man hanging half way out of the boat fully extended poking a fish that was 10' out and not ready for the net well it got away which was disappointing because I really wanted to see its size. I kid you not it fought for all of 25 minutes. Anyway I finally boated a 12 pounder 2 hours after the bite. I figured I saw about 30 fish taken in 4 hours. Funny thing was once I hit the dock all I heard was how slow it was at Mid Channel for the downrigger show. I would Mooch the point early and troll the channel after the bite.
