What would be a good time this summer to hit sekiu and neah bay for kings and maybe coho. would like to go during july but wasnt sure if there would be anyfish. any help is greatly appriciated. Thanks in advance!

As soon as it opens.

I'll be in Neah on July 1st and then in Sekiu thru the 4th. Fishing should be good if we can get into some hatchery fish. For Coho I go at the end of August for a week.

thanks for the quick reports guys. i have another question though, what is the best way to get those kings?

On average my ultra best king time for Sekiu has been a week after the fourth. They are around the first but it often times is a week or so early for the big slabs. However you will be hard pressed to find a clipped slab although I saw one last year over 40.
This last question will lead to a zillion responses. What to use.....I mainly mooch cut plugs along the kelp beds. 20 feet down at dawn and dusk. Deeper as it gets brighter out. Although the short opener a couple years ago for both clipped and non clipped I absolutely hammered them several days in a row in 200 to 250 feet of water 30 feet down. If you have a fish finder use it to find the bait. If I haven't caught a keeper I will then put out the downriggers and troll a flasher/squid/herring strip combo and a whole herring in a helmet starting at 70/90 feet and working my way down to right off the bottom in various depths to 200 feet. I usually didn't have to resort to the downriggers at Sekiu though until it went to clipped only.

Motor moooching cut plug herring.Good luck,

Motor mooching in front of the caves in about 120ft-150ft of water with a cut plug herring.

Go to Neah Bay during July and fish from Wadaah to Tatoosh by either trolling a coyote spoon or hootchie and flasher about 30 foot down.

Kings travel shallow when migrating.

The area in front of Neah Bay is closed after August 1st and one has to go outside of Tatoosh to fish kings.

Need any more NB info, PM me.

Neah Bay king fishing is not rocket science.
