August 6th Report Posted 6 Aug 2008 IN: General BY QCL
 The Chinook action this week has been best during "bite" periods in the 2 hours leading up to slack tides, both on the morning low and the afternoon high. Green Point, Parker Point and Bird Rock 2 have produced most of the fish with cut plugs at depths of 35 - 45 feet. Coho are showing up in pockets on both the east and west sides of the grounds, ususally down 30 ft. in about 100 ft. of water. The Tyee Club is growing steadily with good numbers of fish in the low 30's taken. Fewer really big fish have been found in the last couple of days but Willie Pless landed a nice 42 on Monday and Greg Veer boated an big Chinook weighing 54 lb. on Tuesday, both with guide Nathan Rayment at Green Point. Wednesday saw Kerry Curtis releasing a beautiful big Chinook which taped out to 55.5 pounds with guide MacGregor Anderson at Parker Point. Great job guys! With the westerlies many people haven't been halibut fishing but they're being found consistently in the usual places at around 170 - 220 feet. The weather is swinging around to southeast for the weekend so our days of big blue skies are over for now. Showers and temperatures around 15 degrees will be the norm. The tides will settle right back to only about a 4 to 5 foot swing so longer slack times should even out the salmon action throughout the day. |
