Just back from few days out of Chinook, Sunday through Wed. Caught some fish but had done better in past years. Expectations of limts of Kings and off the water before noon did not materialize. Had to work pretty hard. Huge crowds! Mix of Kings and bonus Coho for this early. Same results for 3-4 other boats of friends. Lots of folks blanked or onsees twosees for most. Limits for the few lucky ones. Found it interesting the fish checkers were around only on Sun. Mon. and were just hanging out, not checking? Still early? IMO should have been more Kings based on the forecast. The Ocean is lights out for Coho but few Kings! Heard of some articles stating the states big Chinook forecast is BS, and it's all to get us out to spend $$. Ocean to the North seems to be holding up hence the increase to 2 King limit out of Westport, so maybe the river entry could be slowed by all the bait outside? Maybe the soft tides were not enough to flush them in? I'm not losing hope, and will be going again anyways How have others done so far compared to the past? Good Luck!
