I started fishing just north of the Kirkland marina around 6:30am. With the gear set up and starting my troll south, I wasn't seeing a lot on the fishfinder. Then I noticed a blinking light connected to a bouy and when I got closer I saw the net. Went around that one but by then it was getting lighter and I could see several more sets south of me. So I mostly stayed on the outsides of the sets till I got past them, which was about Yarrow Piont. I turned and headed toward Hunts Point figuring I might at least be able to intercept some of the Coho before they hit the nets. There was starting to show more signs of life on the fishfinder. I switched out a few lures before trying a Wicked Lure in Black with Purple blade behind a Sling Dodger. As I was getting back to Yarrow Point and just before the nets, I had a release. Turned out to be a bright hen Coho about 6lbs. As the morning went on, the nets were slowly being pulled out. So after they left, I tried trolling a line in front of Moss Bay in 120ft. Ended up with a decent Cutthroat. Stayed till about 1pm before heading home with the wind starting to pick up.

You seem to be the only one who has caught anything. What depths for coho and cuttie?

I was at 60 ft for the Coho and down to 70 for the Cutthroat.

Just to let people know Lake union and ship canal will be closed until further notice for Muckleshoot net fisheries. I never heard of Lake Washington even being open, but I just checked about net fisheries today so it could have been open last week. today. The Duwamish and Green netting will be allowed below the 99 bridge from Sunday 8:00 am until Tuesday 8:00PM
