2019 will be an add year and that means PINKS. There will be no mention of forecasts but stories of folks catching lots of pinks in the bays and rivers in the past. There will be lots of "summer salmon season" and "tuna off the coast" and "halibut" and "lingcod" and so on. All the potential fisheries. No detail, so there can be no promises. Razor clams! Crabs!.
