Plied the waters from Browns point up to Redondo. Targeted Kings, Pinks.
Saw zip, zilch, nada, big ol goose egg. Saw several other boats and guys along the shore, and even saw a Charter boat. What we didn't see was a single net fly. No action on shore. Heck, the guys off of the dock at Dash weren't even catching.
So, the quick answer is: SLOW and HOT!

Then it happened - The first pods of chrome brite Pink salmon started to roll all along the rip. Pulling all the trolling gear out, and switching over to the UL spinning gear and mini jigs, we motored up the rip about a 1/4 mile, cut the motor and drifted through.
Bam, fish on and the first batch of Pinks began to fill the cooler
Nice work brother, kill em while their chrome & cold.
It's going to get nasty fast when they move into the rivers

My daughter caught a bunch of pinks fishing the PSA derby on Saturday. She entered the biggest she kept and actually took second for the kids and placed high enough on the adult side to get a trip to the prize table. I've won prizes at derbies in the past but never took home any cash. That was a very valuable pink!
We released a bunch of pinks at Three tree, they were thick on the north side. We fished Beals and Robinson, never saw another pink on that side.
Even though fishing was less than stellar( at least for kings) that derby was a lot of fun. They made my daughter feel like a superstar from the weigh in to the prize ceremony. I never expected at the end of the day she would be looking over the derby schedule telling me which she wants to fish. That's one of those priceless moments for which I'm very grateful!
