Since the opener I have fished a total of eight days from Neah Bay to Port Angles and haven't landed a single adult Chinook. I am not new to fishing there and have a few select spots to target Chinook along the kelp beds that usually never fail me. Fished the opener and lost 2 adult Chinook at Sekiu and that has been it, with 6 days fishing at there. We did land several Black mouth from 6 to 10 pounds and these fish do not count as Chinook in July, as usually we let them go. Never in 30 years of fishing Sekiu have I seen such dismal fishing. Very little bait on the screen showing and only a few fish marked.
Fish Sunday out of Port Angles and seen zero nets fly, marked no bait or fish.
I know they are catching Kings and silvers out of Neah Bay out deep but nothing to talk about inside the Straights, sure they are catching a king here and there but no big push of fish coming in from the ocean yet and only 18 more days left on the King fishery. I thought after the rain last week something would change, but still no fish. Will they come??????
