Does anyone got any info on this subject, my dad wants to go out and troll around this week. Anyone been catchin?


~MATT

I have not fished those areas myself. I have not heard anything real promising either. You may want to mention to dad to bring the boat down to Elliott Bay / West Pt. Lots of blackmouth action there.

thanks easy! never fished that far south, but its not much further of a boat ride down there from Area 9. It might be worth a try.

Any pointers?

~MATT

Or you can launch at Shilshoe or W. Seattle.

Pointers:

1. White/glow Hot Spots and white/glow hoochies

2. Troll fast, 2-3 MPH

3. The whole area is pretty shallow, stay in at least 70' of water.

4. Start fishing at the Magnolia marina and head west to West Point.

I think the first time we ever went out in the salt Mike recommended Shilshole as a launch for us, but we have a 19' boat w/ a Bunk trailer and I dont think they launch bunks anymore cuase they use the hoistes. Not sure though.

Also as for hootchy selection my summer job up in alaska sent me back with few tricks up my sleeve

Lookout salmon! heh

Well I have a pointers or six.

1) Easys right troll fast 2.7 to 3.5
2) hot shots and hooches
3) keep it right up tight to your balls
4 ) run in the 85 to 110 range
5) pray that big ol ship is gone
6) DONT FORGET THOUGHS PLUGS IN YOUR BOX

Easy, you have to see this plug its
HOT HOT HOT

What plug is that?

Go get' em Matt and let us know how you do!

Matt,
Shilshole is a ramp (a good at that). The sling is up in Edmonds. I posted a fair Baby Island report today. Nice to see you posting.

ah, right right, ok thanks for clearin that up. Yeah I decided it must be getting about time to wet my lines again.

Ill go check out that report.

I have fished area 9 three times since it opened four of us got our limit every time we used a green hotspot flasher and 18 - 24 inches of leader with a coyote spoon I like the green and glow my fishing buddy switches to a couple different colors all with some kind of green. We troll in about 90 - 120 feet of water and you want to be right on the bottom, if your downrigger ball doesn't bounce every once in awhile you aren't deep enough. We have fished both side of possesion and other people I have heard have done well at admiralty inlet.
