I was camping at Doe Is. this weekend and made it to Obstruction for a couple hours in the morning Saturday where we picked up a 17 pounder. In the afternoon I took my 7yo son to Pt Lawrence at the end of the ebb and we got a 25 pounder in a half hour of fishing. He couldn't quite handle the knuckle buster (used to spinning reels) so I had to help him out, but he did great getting the other line and riggers up and netted the fish. Good times

Thanks for the reports, guys. I will be heading up to FH for a couple days this weekend and plan to fish Sat and Sun mornings.
Last year we did OK at Eagle Point (west side of SJ island). Is anyone catching fish out there or should we plan to fish at Obstruction?

I noticed that the tides are not lined up for a morning ebb at O Pass or Lawrence Point this weekend unless you start fishing at 4:00 AM. What areas do people recommend for an incoming tide in Rosario, Haro or Presidents Channel? I've had luck at Open Bay, Eagle Bluff and Girl Scout Camp. Any suggestions for this weekend. I was thinking of trying the north side of Waldron or Sucia. Any reports from up there?

Fished three days straight and it was sloooooooow! Went to Eagle Bluff lots of bait, birds, charter boats and nothing no fish caught by anyone. Tried O-Pass for the ebb nothing. The next day tried the west side of San Juan. Lots of orcas no bits. The final day we tried the north side of Waldron saw fish jumping probably sockeye or coho lots of bait but no bits. Great fishing weekend just poor catching. I used the same set up that was successful in early July and also tried jigging (caught an octopus and rockfish). Where were the fish this weekend? Secret Harbor?, Thatcher Pass or Lopez Flats? I think we need a good rain to push more fish into the islands.
I have to wait until late September to fish again. Hoping for a nice Harrison River Chinook off the west side.

Sounds like there was nothing around Thatcher, Lopez, Secret Hbr, etc this weekend either. Also heard checker in Anacortes late afternoon Sat. had seen 24 boats with 4 fish, and two of those were from the same boat.

Fished hard Friday and Saturday. The spit off Fisherman's bay, nada, Hien Bank, nada, Eagle Point and legal side of Salmon Bank, nada. Spring pass turned out to be the ticket. Two in the upper teens and three lost during battles. Very slow and hard fishing.

A-DOG Red 34 ft pursut center console with twin yamaha 250's. If you see me on the water give a wave. Spring Pass was fishing well on the modest low slack. Some of the locals are getting one or two at high slack of the spit off Fishermans bay in front of the rock. Picked up two thier last week. Keep the reports coming, it seems area 7 gets left out for fishing reports. For die hard fisherman who want to test thier skills I think it is some of the best water in the state. If there are nets on the outside I always run to MCB. Would love to hear how it is fishing.
