It is true.
The place sucks. Believe everything you've heard.
The ferry ride was expensive, no fish, traffic is bad, lots of people and the scenery is terrible.
Stay away for your own good......

Lucky that my eyes are better than my cellphone's ability to capture today's amazing moon rise. Hope we get another great view of the harvest moon for tomorrow's equinox, however tomorrow's forecast for Puget Sound is mostly cloudy which is totally fine for coho harvest...
That rainbow looks very familiar, I wonder how it happened?
Tried to catch some unicorns on the fly or snag a pot of gold for a while, but although conditions were optimal none were harmed today...the same thing can't be said about ocean coho (Now oficially "Fall coho") which sacrificed themselves and honored the harvest moon...but those were not on the fly today! A complete sampler of weather conditions early AM in the Sound to welcome the Autumn: no wind and cloudy, sunny and coho chop, windy against the tide, rain and rainbows, wind and coho chop and most of the combinations of those. Agree with @Chucker , it totally sucked out there today.
hey DG - any silvers out there?
I plan to meat fish on Saturday and am curious if I should be in the salt (same technique) or fresh water (Lake Wa.). feel free to PM if you don't want to share.
MA10 Beach this morning, nothing decided to tug back. But! I did see something thrashing about maybe 150 feet from shore. It looked like a swimmer struggling to stay afloat... Then realized it was a coho struggling to break free from a seal. Quite a large fish, too.
I always assumed that seals kept their catch under water... Why would they want to give away their spots so easily? Planning on heading out tomorrow with my fins and some incisor implants.
Speaking of Area 10, I have seen a lot of pictures of fish caught from area 10 looking very dark. Humpies turning green with humps on their backs, Chinook that are a deep bronze color. As far as I knew the only fish that turn this dark are spawning in creeks extremely close to shore. Anyone know why so many dark fish are taken from there?
It was nice finally meeting you in person today @Stonefish. I had to fish until 2:30 to get my 1 keeper for the day. Let's hope it picks up over the next couple of days....

Same can be said for Golden Gate bridge... start at one end, paint to the other, by then, time to start over... ask Eric Estrada of CHIPS fame...when series ended he didnt have much work coming in, so became part of the crew responsible for the bridge...
I'm working really, really hard for ho-hum keepers these days. At least I hooked up 3 times today. Then again it took 6 hours, 3 beaches and two MA's….

Decided to transfer my skunk to tomorrow in order to take advantage of the foul weather. Looks like it'll be sporty out there. Good wind direction for casting to Quilcene fish or no pointers though.
@Stonefish that bluff is one of my favorite places to go for a run.
