Fished West Point, North end of Vashon, and off Alki on 10/1, and my friend hooks up and brings to the boat a nice 20-25 lb King! Never seen a local fish that late before.

He also caught a 7 lb silver, and had a couple of other good hits. I got nada. All fish were at 50 feet of cable on a hootchie.

For those who will undoubtedly ask -- the King was released and swam off.

how deep and what did you catch it on?

50 feet of cable out on the DR, with a blue hootchie/flasher. Straight out from West Point.

Look harder grasshoppa. The answer you seek is there!!!

Sullie i have just one question for you, is that picture of the boot king for your avatar the one you and your life partner killey got tickets for on the wallace?

Geddy,
New fisherman should not be ridiculed for catching boot kings and holding them out of the water illegally. I am sure Sullie did not know better of this. Also please do not make fun of some one's sexual preferences.
Thank you,

Let's have fun out there!

Kind of a negative first post Geddy.....

Wow Geddy, your 1st post is attacking a guy who's made a bold, strong choice to accept and be comfortable with his life style. Did you think how Kiley is probably taking this post? Poor little fellar is probably crying himself to sleep right now.

Let's have fun and all get along....

Hit West Pt on 10/6 and hit three nice kings ~15,12, and 8. Unfortunatly, no coho. The first at 30ft and the other two at 60ft on the rigger.

There were also a gazillion 8-12" blackmouth around, could hardly keep the gear in the water without having a little shaker on the line.

Is it normal to be getting kings this time of year? The first two seem a little big to be blackmouth.

Any chance they're still going to be around when it opens up on the 16th?

Seems rare to me to pick up that many Kings in A10 this late in the year. Strange things are happening this year though. Were the kings pretty dark?

Wow, nice pics Bossman. The top two look like BM, but then again I'm not an expert.

I fished today (Saturday) and picked up a hen coho at 75' with a plug cut herring and flasher plus numerous little BM and resident coho. Missed one other takedown.

Just curious...what color/name is the hootchy in the center picture. It looks like a good one.

The fist two were caught on a green GSB (Grand Slam Bucktail) and the last one on an army truck hootchie. I had another good release on the GSB that didn't stick and lost another good fish after a couple headshakes on the army truck hootchie.

Nice fish!
