Sometimes it feels like the fishing gods are against me,I had plans to go out to area 8-2 and 9 here on Puget Sound to go chase those elusive Coho salmon today.Being a weekday the Mukilteo boat launch would be uncrowded as well as out on the water.Truck gassed up,boat gassed up,poles and tackle loaded and ready,and supposed to be a relatively decent day,except for the wind,weather report called for 10-15 mph winds today,I spent three days out in 10 mph winds last week and got the carp beat out of me and my little 16' skiff. Considering my luck and I didn't go out its probably nice and calm out there right now,but if I had gone out I'm pretty sure I would have gotten blown all over the place,fighting to keep the boat on course etc. I'm not wasting the day though,the pass through between my steering console and tool/tackle box is pretty narrow so I figured out how to get another 3-1/2" of space which doesn't sound like much but on a small boat every inch counts so to say.So heres to wishing all out here on the stage a wonderful day fishing or working on improving your fishing experiences. 😀

Sorry about the wind! Doesn’t sound fun. Went out to Bush Point (area 9 I believe) early early this morning. At 6:30 I saw one person down the beach catch 1 coho and 2 more caught while I was there. They were using green buzz bombs with a scented jelly. And some were catching on bright neon pink buzz bombs. Hope this helps! Good luck out there :)

I was using a brads super bait plug with bloody tuna scent on the scent pad behind a purple haze flasher. I was just over the area 9 line south of ship wreck in about 500-600' of water 60-65' down on the down rigger trolling south at about 2.5-3 mph. good luck let me know how you do
