Anyone have anything to report the last couple of days? Fishing was great for the first few days after the opener but slowed down pretty quick. Lots of 5-8lb fish. Should hopefully pick up here in the next few weeks.

Humongous tides and lots of jelly fish have slowed fishing way down.

Been out twice, the Sunday after opener and yesterday. I've lost one decent fish each time jigging and got a shaker trolling.

Fishing seemed to be pretty damn good yesterday morning, I just couldn't hold on to my chance, very few boats but saw 6 caught, I'm sure at least that many more were caught I didn't see.

Seems to be a fair number of fish around. Definitely enough to keep the interest flowing. Picked up a #12 this morning and saw a few others get caught. Not red hot by any means though. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

Well you guys musta been keeping everything up north as yesterday morning’s MA 11 adventure truly sucked for us. We got out at day lite, fishing from Redondo. Fished the last few hours of the out, and the first couple hours of the in tide. I’m telling ya, the weather sucked, with the breeze blowing pretty good till after the tide changed. Maybe saw 10 other boats, and they were scattered from Browns to 3 tree.

Not A Bite.
Didn’t see a net, and the three other boats that came off the water when we did, were all skunked....

Cold and wet, but going again tomorrow.
Cheers

Tonight we did well and went 3/4 and missed another big takedown. Got 2 hatchery kangs about #10 each and released a nice #12 with a fin. Had another one break us off.

Last night we went 1/4 and had several on that we couldn’t keep pinned. We landed one about 8# with an adipose fin.

Two nights ago fished hard and didn’t even get a bump.

Naw, no way ! First you all get us fishing the great morning tides and bites , so we did, NADA. Now you’re bonking ‘em on the evening tides, so I canceled this morning’s trip to MA 11, and switched to Monday evening.

Now we’ll see how the bear goes thru the buckwheat!

BTW, does anyone here use those Roto Chip Herring /bait clips from Pro Troll ? My daughter claims her buds fishing outta Westport swear by them. They looked scary with all those spikey little teeth and metal springs ?

Well you didn’t miss much this AM. Seemed slow but we did scratch out a #16 but did not see much else happening. I fished yesterday evening and not a bump.

We’re heading out for an evening fling tonite. Launching at Redondo, and headed to Browns. We were gonna hunt for some Pinks, but word has it that a few kings are still hanging around the points, with some mooched up last nite before dark. So, Kings it is .

So that’s the plan, and we’re sticking to it ! (Unless a few schoolers of the Pink push up on the beaches, then it’s jiggle time. )

Cheers

Fished from 3pm ish to dark. Released one fin tipped king, maybe 12/13 lbs about half way thru the tide change, just north of Robinson. Trolled for coho just before dark, and noted three or four schools of leapers off in the outer rips. Picked up the gear, and chased the leapers for a bit.

Jigged up three chrome brite Pinks on the ultra lite gear ! Good times are here, I’ve made it to another Humpy Run ! All fish were in great shape, and well fed.

Heading out Friday for the morning in tide bite. You guys fishing north, please leave the clipped fish alone, so we can actually net a King and put it in the cooler...

Fish On !

We fished this morning and saw a couple caught. We lost one nice king, had a humpy up to the boat, and a couple of shakers. It should start getting good soon!

Went out to a pier in area 11 tonight to see if any pinks were around. Ended up losing one. After a little bit I decided to see if there were any kings in the area. Ended up hooking three real nice 4-6 lb black rockfish on back to back casts. All three were really good sized, with the third one as bigger or bigger than my biggest ocean fish, including Neah Bay, Alaska and Canada.

We fished from daylite to noon yesterday on the little in tide. We saw maybe three jumpers in that time. We hit Browns to keep the local bloom issues to a minimum. We never saw a fish caught or netted from the 10 or so boats , or the 30 to 40 beach waders. Great weather, flat water, and nary a take down. Cut Plugs, trolled, or mooched, net.

We did see a few small leapers heading back. Chucked a few jigs and mini buzz bombs, again nada bite-a...

We suck as salmon chasers !

I’ve seen more and more humpies in the last week and they are around in decent numbers. I fished this morning and picked up a 10# hatchery kang off the slag pile. Only saw a couple others get caught. Hopefully this coming weather we have in a couple days won’t kill fishing like it did this time last year.

That's a wrap!

August 23, 2021

Chinook retention suspended in Tacoma-Vashon Island (Marine Area 11)

Action: Suspends retention of Chinook salmon.

Effective date: 12 a.m., August 25 through September 30, 2021.

Species affected: Chinook salmon.

Location: Tacoma-Vashon Island (Marine Area 11).

Rule: Salmon daily limit 2. No min. size. Release Chinook.

Reason for action: The current estimate of Chinook harvest is 3,181 of the total harvest quota of 3,084 (103%) agreed to in this year's List of Agreed Fisheries (LOAF). Because the harvest quota has been reached, WDFW staff have made the decision to suspend Chinook retention.

Additional Information: This fishing rule change does not affect the Marine Area 11 coho and pink fisheries, which continue as planned.

This rule does not effect the following year-round piers: Des Moines Pier, Les Davis Pier, Point Defiance Boathouse Dock, and Redondo Pier.

Information contact: Fish Program, 360-902-2700.

Similar to what happened a couple of years ago, I suspect that the data was fudged and that catch rates were much lower than what WDFW reported. Fishing has been fair/slow the last few weeks, but boy did the remaining percentage of the quota sure go quick. We do know the Puyallup Tribe wants sporties off the water. Seems fishy to me.

I did pick up a nice #12 hatchery up in west passage today. Glad I got a fish on the final day. It was the cherry on top of an overall decent season.

Glad you finished strong...seems like it was decent year overall on the inside this summer.

Unfortunately for our quota fisheries...under-predicted runs means we get good fishing and it closes early, and we could have fished more...and over-predicted runs stay open way too long, and we over-fish the run.

One of those two happens about 99.872% of the time.

Guess it's cohumpy time!

Fish on...

A LOT of chinook died over the last 2-3 weeks in south MA11. I'm not surprised the quote got burned up fast, it was some fast and furious fishing.

Fishing Sux, again.


I know, I was out again yesterday and we caught NADA, Zipp, Zero,TINY amount to none . Redondo, Dash, Browns, Beals, mid channel rips, beaches, all sucked. No schools of Pinks, no coho, nary a jumper to be seen. (Glass half empty side)

There was a nice , miles wide rip with 73 tons of green matted algae slime globs everywhere, and we limited out on that... (Glass half Full side)

I think the Pinks turned east, and headed up the Snoho or Green, cuz they sure were nowhere We were. Lotsa herring schools however. If I kept throwing chrome hooked mini jigs in vain for Pinks along the beach rips, I could have kept a couple dozen horse herring for mooching kings !

Oh yea, too bad kings are closed...
