To hell with the Fish!
We saw more Killer Whales Saturday than I have seen in my entire life (on Puget Sound anyway). We spotted a few of them in the distance up near President Point and within 10 minutes the whole area around Jeff Head was just crawling with them. There were at least 40. They were close enough we could hear them talking! They were lining up 10 or more abreast chasing chum, I presume. We pulled our gear and just kind of followed them around, yes, at a respectful distance. They had no fear of the boats that were around. At one point, a group of three came up right next to the boat, maybe 10 feet off. Barry has a great shot of that, and also of the lining up abreast. It was truly one of the most incredible things I have seen on Puget Sound. Breaching and rolling around. We spotted three more Sunday. There also were a large number of Dahls porpoise around. Those critters are FAST!
We did see a number of jumpers between Yeomalt and Skiff point. There were a couple of Purse seiners working that area so we really didn't work it very hard.
Trolled deep most of Sunday feeding herring to Shakers. Saw one boat with a double. They were having fun! The net wasn't ready so it was quite a struggle. Couldn't tell if there were BM or Chum though.
Get out and see those Whales!
