Made it to the launch around 7:45 Stan Sayers, made a run south to the river & park area seeing little to nothing on the sonar , then a b line to the south end of the island , still nothing on the screen about ready to run up on the dock at the big white house when wiggle bounce went the pole . After a short fight from the fish , only to see a sockeye about 18" that had got itself flow hooked on the top of its head , releasing as quickly as I could , thinking how did that happen? After running through Salmonbarry's spot up around to the north , with no further action decided to go to the north end of the island and the I-90 bridge area, seeing fish after fish between 60 & 85 ft. lined up in a row . After some two or more hours ,trying to figure out the right stuff , no action at all . Making another effort to catch a fish west bound on the south side of the bridge seeing the same thing on the screen over and over . Well by this time was about to call a day and no sooner then I could start to reel up the gear down goes the pole , Oh dear that was fun trying to pull up a fish that was a bit larger then expected , and needless to say it was stronger then gear could withstand , but the fight made up for spending all day ridding around in the boat . Maybe next time ,or make sure the drag is a bit loser . I did get the dodger back however so it wasn't so bad. After getting back to the launch talking to the boat that left just before me , they didn't do much better 3 fishing 4 fish total from the 520 bridge area and Djs spot .

Thanks for your report. I went out to Sammamish yesterday and had similar success. I caught one really nice 18" cutthroat and then a squawfish. Pretty slow day out there. Will be hitting either Lk. Wash. or Samm. on Friday.

Markin'Fish Ya just when you think you figured it out ??? well thought about trying samm on sat looking at the weather report , was out there a couple weeks back in the wind @ 25+ no fun , if you get out on Fri make a report , both days look good . Now wouldn't it be cool to be able dial the 1 800 magic number and get the most up to date stats for where you want to fish and what to expect while fishing SURE ! greenboater

I did about the same yesterday. Fished Moss Bay area and then down west side of Mercer Isl across from Seward Park. Pretty slow. Managed one small cuttie and a really big fat perch.
