FISHING: Fair
All Star Fishing Charters weekly fishing report
Area 9
Salmon fishing in area 9 opens July 16
Crabbing in area 9 is open 7 days per week.
Area 8.2
King Salmon fishing arrives
Tulalip Special area fishery opens for king salmon fishing on Friday June 18.
6000 plus kings returning to tulalip hatchery and a few strays from the Snohomish river and you have a legitimate local king fishery.
The area is defined as an area 2000 feet from shore between the old Bowers resort pilings and the marker located on the shore 1.4 miles north of Hermosa Point.
Season open Friday through Monday noon each week through September.
Jigging or trolling? Which method you use depends on your personal preference and expertise. Both catch fish.
Trolling
Coyote flashers rigged with Squid of coyote Spoons has been the most productive. Hook this up to your downrigger and lower it down to where the fish are.
How do you know where the fish are? This is where a good Quality fish finder can be invaluable. Spot the fish on your fish finder and place your gear right there. Most of the trolling is done in 60 plus feet of water and down from 40 to 90 feet.
Jigging.
Point Wilson darts in Green/white, plain white or candlefish in the 2 ½ to 4-ounce sizes are the most popular.
Use only enough jig to keep your gear as close to vertical as possible. Jigs are designed to work the best on the drop so be prepared to set the hook if your jig suddenly stops falling.
Most jigging is done close to shore in shallow water 10 to 60 feet.
Crabbing in area 8.2 remains fair to good.
The jetty just out of the Snohomish river mouth is probably the most popular and certainly very productive.
Other good spots include the shoreline from Everett to Mukilteo.
The south and north ends of Hat Island.
Area 8.1
Open for lingcod
Crabbing opens Friday June 4
North end of Camano Island is excellent.
Closed to salmon fishing, Reopens on August 1
Area 10
Salmon fishing open
A very enjoyable Catch and release fishery opens in area 10 on June 15 and continues through all of June. The area open for this special fishery is the waters of area 10 north of a line from Meadow Point to Point Monroe. Although this is a catch and release fishery where no fish can be brought inside the gunnels. This is an excellent opportunity to tangle with a king salmon and enjoy the fight while releasing the fish to continue on his journey to spawn.
Best spots have been Jefferson Head or Kingston area.
Trolling with Coyote Flashers and spoons works great.
Look for the baitfish with a quality fish finder and keep your gear near that bait as these fish are still feeding.
Open for crabbing 7 days per week.
