thinking about getting over to Sekiu for the July 8 king opener and decided to take a look at the tides for the week of the 8th and it looks like some pretty strong tides in the Am all week.
I would like to find out if those familiar with this area have any info on how this will effect the fishery.
Thanks

Hey Dawg, I emailed ya. Good luck!!!!

Baddawg, some of the best king bites are on the fast tides at Sekiu typical of July. A couple days after the opener it will really be ripping on the ebb, but just at peak current. Forget the tide book and look up the current chart for Juan de Fuca Strait. At peak ebb it can be tough to keep the bait down, but if you have a good maneuverable boat and a good kicker motor, you can keep down, depending on how you fish. Often the bite will be good an hour or so before peak ebb, and there is typically a daylight bite regardless of the tide.
