Fished Saturday morning on the Racetrack (between Hat and Camano). There were lots of boats out there...how did everyone do?

We had a nice fish on as soon as we put the gear down. My coffee hadn't kicked in, so I didn't get to the rod in time.

Shortly after, we C&R'd a 20 incher, then hit a nice 8 lber. Hooked a couple more nice shakers before quitting at noon.

All the fish hit a 4" cop car spoon 36" behind a green glow hot spot. Unfortunately, we only had 1 of these spoons, because we tried every other color and couldn't get a hit. As expected, they were lying on the bottom.

Our keeper had 3 herring in her stomach.

Speaking of stomachs, she tasted darn good Sunday night. Fresh salmon is the best on the BBQ.

Nice job CD. I started fishing the brickyard and we came up empty. I had done well over there in previous years on the mid Feb opener. With the strong current after 10 with wind, my son had a tough time driving the boat. I ended the day on the race track, but by about 1:30 or so, being in between tides and with the strong tide, we didn't get any keepers.

Thanks for the report. I'll be fishing the Racetrack and/or Possession/PNP this Thursday and Friday.

Good to hear you got a keeper.

We fished Monday along the whidbey shoreline near Langley. Nothing to show for our 3 hours logged in.

I used a tomic 5" plug from 7 a.m. until about 9:00, then gave jigging a shot. no luck.

Think I had one hit and talked to another boat who found one shaker.

Try again Sunday!

Alas! My motor decided to start having "hot flashes" just before the opener. Hopefully I'll have it back from the shop in the next couple of days so I can hit my favorite hole in 8-2
