If your thinkin about area 8-2 Its heatin up nice in there. The pinks are the main show with some silvers here and there in the mix. Banged a 9 and 12 yesterday and got our limit of humps as well. Boated 7 humps today and probably lost at least 15 or more. Its go time!
More boats out there every day. Life is good!

Yeah, I notice the boats while taking the ferry from Whidbey this morning.

I think tomorrow I will walk across - literally, from boat to boat! I bet there were 250 boats today, ?

I guess that's the norm for the peak of the season, but every year it's an impressive view from the ferry.

How can that many people fish during weekday mornings? I-5 must be empty!

Glad to hear you had a good morning on the water Chrome454, I only wish I had the entire morning off to fish!

I posted my report over at WashingtonLakes.com. Let me just say this: HOT HOT HOT!!!!! Limits for four people with as much catch and release as you could want. Go now!

Humpies kickin arse right now at Shipwreck...Went up Sun with Bro in law and Dad...limited out 4 ea by 10:45am on 8/18/03. We circled a boat about 3x that had just caught some (was on top of a big school) and we nailed 3 just doing so.

Almost 48lb of Pinks, fish on!

Heh...got a little add reply happy...

Forgot to mention we seen quite a few jump and I personally wittnessed about a few dozen all at once surface where you could see their back fins above water. No sign of seals though thank goodness.

Get out there while the getting's good!

I might take a fly rod and troll a pink fly on the surface just for the heck of it. Green and chrome hot spot and 3 inch pink hoochie is what is doing most of the damage though.
Its hump time!!!

Fished this evening and there are lots of fish for everyone. limited out with 8 fish in 2 hours. get the kids out for some great fishing. Did not matter what direction you trolled. 40 feet was the best depth.

Heading south to the Cow today for (4) days of steel. almost wishing I was staying home and revamping my egg supply. What to do.........HEH heh
