Went out of Shilshole area 10 about noon. Cold as heck, water was like glass, clear blue sky. saw only 2 other fishers.. Went with "Datsun" Michael, from the forum. Our target was crab, with spending the in between time bottom fishing. We scored big on the crab. Our first pull was after about a 2 hour soak. We had our limit of dungies. Some were about 7.5" also got two red rock. On the second pull we probably had another 6-7 legal dungies, but of course through them back, we looking for a few more red rock.
Caught a few flounder.... but the bonus was that we each our limit of one rockfish a piece.
Fished mostly around the artificial reef just South of Richmond beach. It's called "The Trees"
The rockfish were fun, they fight kind of like a bass in my opinion. If you count an extra crab... that was one of the Red Rock crabs. Another boat rushed up on us just as we were pulling out pots, kind of scared me, I thought we were going to be boarded. Of course we were doing everything legal, but it turned out to be another fisherman saying they had their limit of crab also.
