DID THE SEKIU TRIP LAST WEEKEND-THANKS TO ALL THAT GAVE INFO ON THURSDAY LAST WEEK. SILVER ALL MORNING(EVERY 10 MINS) W/ SOME SIZE DEFINITELY SOME 10 LBS'ERS. VERY FEW FIN CLIPPED THOUGH(LESS THAN 1:15). 1ST FISH HOOKED AND RELEASED WAS A 35+ LBS KING(BEAUTIFUL FISH). CATTLE POINT(SAN JUANS) SAT-1,12 LBS PINK. ELLIOT BAY AFTERNOON SUNDAY-2 KNOCKDOWN-NO FISH(TIMING IS KEY THERE, I THINK). I'M HITTING SHILSHOLE/WEST SEATTLE LAUNCH TONIGHT AT 5PM FOR SILVERS ANY ADVICE?

When I lived in Seattle, we would always fish silvers just south and west of West Point, just outside that green can there. Lots of guys fished right off Shilshoe, and a little to the north, I think that's Meadow Point??0 I never tried there, but those guys seemed to do OK. Just look for the rips, or bait, and fish them... but don't expect it to be like Sekiu.

Another note, I never tried to fish for coho this early in the season, though, as the run seemed to peak around September 15th.

-N.

Coho are early [and bigger] this year.
