My secret spot in the middle of the channel up by the Bank was decent. Limited by 9 but the grade of fish appear small this year based on my observations. Saltys 20lb fish is the first fish Ive heard of around 20.
Crabbing is borderline dismal, I dont think Ive ever seen so few dungeness.

We got our fish mid-day. Like SG said, the grade is pretty underwhelming. 10, 10, and 10 for us, cookie cutters. Lost another to a seal that looked to be the same size fish. We did manage a few out in the staits last week that were in the upper teens and a 20+ with a fin, so there are a few bigger ones around.
The one thing I will say is that all 3 of the fish we cut had 2-3" tiny baby herring in their bellies....

Really slow at my usual spots on the west side of A-10. We got one decent high finner king and some dink coho. Lots of effort, a few nets flying for dink coho, but I personally did not see a good king taken on the morning tide. Pretty disappointing, hopes were high as there were quite a few fish around the area in early July. Heard mid-channel was pretty dead also, probably should have made the run to Possession .

It was slow in our spot, but I was able to scratch up a SUPER fat 14 lb buck. All of the bait was super tiny 1" or less. I heard of several 20+ lb fish caught at some of the usual spots. Lots of resi ho's in the mix as well.

Three coho off the beach. All unclipped so they are still swimming. Must have missed them at the hatchery clipping table.... Did see one nice king jump and some bait getting bullied. Tides sucked, lots of salad and the cloud cover burned off too quickly for my liking. More sandlance this year then I've seen in a while. Baited up about 30 crabs off the beach on last weekends minus tide, not one legal. SF

The day started of slow but picked up right at the tide change. we hit a couple of resident coho and barely legal chinook all within a half hour of each other... we lost one large chinook at the boat and had a couple of other coho put on a nice aerial getaway display...

Hey Salty - we fished by you on the opener.
Any surface bait today and if so, what was the size?

No surface bate. I cut the 20 pounder open and there were very small, skinny candlefish I believe.

Yep - teeny tiny 1" candlefish. It would be great to see some herring show up!
Good luck,
