This is a report from Monday 8/25 to Thursday 8/28. Fished hard for 4 days this week from Salisbury Point to Foul Weather Bluff and into Skunk Bay and everywhere in between. Typical setup: plug herring/hootchies/coho killers behind a flasher fished anywhere from 15 to 100 feet. Marked tons of bait, but couldn't produce a single fish in 30+ hours of fishing. When pulling the boat out yesterday afternoon, 5 other boats had the same luck. Hoping this shot of rain in the forecast will bring in some more fish.

Maybe the fish are schooling in shallow water. I've seen Silvers do that at Picnic Point. There will be a bunch of fish in close particularly early in the run.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be a bad time to try the lower Snohomish river system. I remember last year's Edmonds Coho Derby, the second or third place fish came from the Snohomish river system by a bank angler (If my memory serves me correctly). Then again, that was last year and this year has been a little squirrely.

I haven't seen anything in the Snohomish yet. except a few wrong year humpies... but I have not put a line in to check, just watched for jumpers.

The beach in MA9 was very slow today. I caught the first fish today at 0745 which is unusual. The first bite has been starting at 0545 or so.. a few more fish were caught about 2 hours after mine.. then nothing just flat dead.. I haven't seen it that slow in the last month and I have hit the same beach everyday for a month.. maybe warm water and lack of rain?

You are thinking of the Everett Derby. Edmonds derby is saltwater only.

I see that you're from Silverdale and fishing in MA9 so I assume you're at Salisbury. If that's the case then you're one of the lucky ones. I own a cabin right next to Salisbury and targeted the troll in front of the launch and down towards the red barn on Foul Weather Bluff outside Port Gamble. I'd like to give a glowing report if I had one but the truth of the matter was that I didn't touch a fish all week

I stand corrected. 51 have made it up to sunset falls.... I didn't see any in the Snohomish... but they must have been there. I don't know when I will be back by before the weekend but I'll look again if I get a chance.

Yes Salisbury. . I have seen a ton of boats out trolling but havent seen them haul anything up. Honestly, I have been out there every morning for the last 4 weeks (minus a couple days for sleep catch up) and I have seen many fish daily pulled out from the beach there. I have hooked up almost daily mooching herring with a special brine and setup. Most fish are in the 5-6lb range but I have seen some 8-10lbs hooked. I have pulled out multiple 5-6lbs, a couple 7lbs and my big hen of the year at 8. One guy I see there every morning hooked a monster of a coho. When she jumped everyone there was in awe. Swore it was 12-15lbs. He got hen-handled by her tho and she about spooled him. We will never know how big she really was but ask anyone there and they will confirm..

I've got a dozen or so family members in town for a reunion.
Since Salsbury is fishing hot, I think we'll load up the van with rotators and buzz bombs and hit it hard this week.
Hope to see everyone out there.

Thanks!
We might hit another beach on the way home that I read about on the Internet that is fishing hot right now.
Another 10-12 people fishing it shouldn't crowd it up much.

he's a bit green stonefish, don't think he gets your point...

Unfortunately, it has gotten more and more to be the case that folks have to learn the hard way. Instead of having a fishing buddy or mentor that brings someone along and teaches them the right way to go about these things. People are now culling the widely shared info and then offering it in a likewise manner. Then they complain about how much more crowded their favorite spot is than it used to be...

Only one fix: If you have kids, teach them the right way. If you don't, mentor someone who needs guidance. this is part of being a complete angler - in my opinion.
