New member, will try this site for a while and see how it goes.

Been fishing Area 11 out of Des Moines just about everyday for the past 2 weeks, after work in the evening for a couple of hours and every Sat/Sun Morning until about 11am.
Haven't been skunked yet.... .

New to the area from Area 7 out of Bellingham. Live in Des Moines, boat is in the Des Moines Marina in a dry shed but have a covered slip for a couple of months. 19' runabout, two scotty's.

Been fishing North Point (just north of the Marina), 3TreePt, Robinson Pt and shoreline just north of the point (yellow house that's not yellow anymore) and once in a while Redondo.

Have caught pinks, silvers (even a hook nose 8 pounder) and smaller chinook. Haven't had to release any 22"+ chinook, all hatchery. All in the 7 to 14 pound range but have lost at least one in the high teens.

As late as yesterday evening, picked up another small king trolling in 85fow at 80ft on the wire at Robinson Pt way after tide change. Hardware. Keep eye on electronids, always moving up or down and zig zagging to find and stay on fish and/or bait.

Only fishing for a few hours each evening and off the water way before sunset.
