I was wondering if anyone has been fishing Bham Bay for Salmon?  Chinook now, coho/pinks later this summer.  I never see much of any fishing here, so I'm guessing not much.  While I'm a total newbie for Kayak fishing, I've got a lot of years of salmon/salt water fishing under my belt.
Just trolling for some input, or others to venture out with.
Thanks,
Bob

There aren't any chinook.  A handful of samish-bound kings pass thru samish bay in the fall. However, Pinks venture in bellingham bay starting in a couple weeks.  You can catch them just out past the horizon lines boat.

Also chum head up the padden creek from fairhaven in the fall. If I remember it was in october. I use to live in an apartment right next to the creek AMD it was fun to watch them go up.. not so fun when they were rotting a few days later.
