Just got back from fishing around possession point. I ended up with 2 wild coho (released) 1 hatchery chinook which was really nice, but season closed (released) 1 dog fish (released) 5 "shakers" with are small under 12" chinook (all released but one half eaten by seal) bottom line no fish in the cooler today but at least caught some. caught them all using a purple haze 11" flasher and a "brad's super bait cut plug" with "bloody tuna scent" on the scent pad 14lb down rigger ball down 55-65' was fishing in 150-200' water at the out edge of the eastside of the bar. when I caught the Coho and the same on the west side of the bar for the chinook. The returning run of Coho don't seem to be in yet. hope this is useful

Sounds like good fun DC. Next time take some pics if you can. I love seeing the PNW. Hope to make it there some day. Idaho is the closest I’ve been. 👍

Very useful report. I like those Brad's Superbaits. I've had good luck with those on the Columbia also. Thanks!

Great write up DC. Very informative. At least there was some action. I don't fish that area but I'm sure others appreciate the feedback. I concur that the silvers aren't here yet in numbers by my own experience at MA11 and Buoy 10. Should be coming soon though. All good!

Weather on my phone said 5-10 mph,I didn't think it was gonna be as bad as it was,plus my friend paid for a covered slip at the Edmonds Marina so felt obligated to at least try.

sometimes you just need to take the weather as it is and hope for the best but sounds like a good catch of crabs and they are good eaten

the duroboat does handle good in rough water I use to take my 12 duro boat out there before I got my 16' and at times it was pretty rough but as you say it handled it good
