Fished tail end of high slack through ebb tide. Waters were extremely calm. Again eelgrass slick running north/south through Possession.

Dropped lines by 5:45 at 20' and 30'. First fish on about 60 seconds after second line set. Decent sized resident at around 5 pounds. Fished two Superbait 3" mini plugs (Hot Melon, Black Jack and Green Magic) for the morning.

Had 5 more hookups in the next 30-40 minutes. Two double hookups. One a very good 9 pounder. Other was smaller. On the borderline of worth keeping. Let it go to grow up more.

Second double hookup about 10 minutes later. Landed what seemed like a real porker at 11 pounds compared to what we've been seeing this month in A10. Other was a more standard 4 pounder.

Done for the day with limits in less than an hour.

Wondering if maybe the first of the ocean run have arrived? Again, very few boats on the water. Seemed like those that came out got fish.

Dang, sounds like good fishing! I understand if you don't want to ID location, but is this in the shipwreck/humpy hollow area, or over by Whidbey?

Shipwreck side, just a shade north. Saw nets out in 180 to 400 depth of water. So they were kind of all over. Didn't see many bait balls. Just avoided weed patches.

Two of us fished 10 around Edmonds today in my boat and we got 3, two 6-7 pounds that might have been ocean fish and one 4 pounds that was local. Our bite was between 9 and 10AM. About 40 boats on the water between Edmonds and the oil docks. Seems to be some ocean fish trickling in.
