Troy you have that dialed in on the pinks.
I'll be out Thursday, Friday and Sat. Maybe Sun with my wife, too.
Recipe sounds great, all I use are the first 2 ingredients and apple and alder chips on the big chief smoker. May try the new recipe, too.

Am hearing of smaller than normal humpies.
Has anyone tried deeper? I remember catching some big bucks at around 100 feet on the downrigger. However, I will start at the 50ish mark.

Went and limited on humpies this morning. Was a little choppy and cloudy, wind out of the south.
Fish found between 65 and 75 on the wire just off the houses south of Mukilteo. Got one nice male, about 6 pounds.

Had a couple guys up from Fort Lewis to fish today. Not able to make Salmon For Soldiers next week so have been doing trips on other weekends.

We dropped in at the houses past Mukilteo around 8:15 or so. We put 2 limits in the boat in a couple hours and lost a few more. 65 and 80 feet were the two depths we fished. Then ran to Scatchet Head around noon to fish the outgoing an hour or two for some early coho. Caught one coho, lost one coho. Also picked up a pink and lost other pink while trolling for coho. Fish caught at 65 and 80 again out there.

Sent the guys home with 10 fish, a few crab, and some good memories.

I'm off to DC until the 2nd, hopefully the silvers are flowing through by then!

I had a great day with my grown sons yesterday at Humpy Hollow. It was the first time I have fished with both my sons together on C-Dancer and we had a blast. We limited with 12 pinks at different depths, starting at 40, then down to 60 and then 100 feet. I even used the port lazarette with its intended use as a fish box for the first time.

Since I don't have any down-riggers, I used a "Deep Diver" and got this on Saturday just north of shipwreck. I was just out messing around and having fun while M drove the boat. I don't even have a rod holder.

Will do, Roger. Thanks. I'm so busy at work I can't justify the expense of down riggers now.

I'm planning to fish this Sat and Sun.
Looks like cohos are showing up and probably will be on the west side of Possession and down towards Edmonds from there.

Anyone else?

I'll be out at least Saturday and Monday. May try and swing Sunday for a couple hours in the early AM.

Ill be out Saturday AM, and probably Sunday and Monday too. If the fishing is slow, or if windy Im heading up the Snohomish to troll mag lip plugs on light gear.

I heard a second hand report that coho fishing in the sound was off the hook today with 20+ hookups on one boat.

Saturday 9-5
Kind of a bust for me. Had the boat out of the water while out of town. After a 45 min wait at the ramp we dropped the crab pots and finally started fishing around 8:30. Started on the East side of Possession and nada. Skipped to Shipwreck and fished into Browns Bay. Scratched out one small silver and only 3 crab.

Today - Sunday 9-6
Started on the Possession again. Picked up one nice 8 lb silver about mid bar in 200 feet of water. Fished that area for a couple hours longer. Heard a report Possession Point was producing fish. We fished 500-600 feet of water between the point and the green can on a N/S troll. We caught 2 more at 45 feet on the wire and one more at 60 feet all within a few hundred yards of each other. Used a straight glow hootchie and a green glow hootchie on the other. Both with Ace Hi Fly inserts. Green glow Hot Spot flashers on both. All in all, went 4/7 on the day.

We'll be out again tomorrow bright and early.
