Buoy 10 a no-show

I stopped by Fisherman's Marine this morning to scope out the tent sale... one of the sales guys said Buoy 10 turned on yesterday, his boat went 6 for 10.

  I was thinking about fishing the Columbia this coming weekend, but the creel report from WADFW for Buoy 10  shows this for the first 10 days:  Anglers 384, chinook 9 (8 in the last 2 days) and coho 0... talk about slow !!!  This is bad news for
those who predicted a big run of fall chinook in the columbia.  Guess I'll fish local this weekend, but things are slow around Vashon also. Friend Nathan got a 17.5# king yesterday---one fish in last 5 trips . A little better success at Point Defiance and Point Dalco this week.  I caught only dogfish  Monday evening in Quartermaster harbor, a lot of fish on the depthfinder at 30 feet, apparently all dogs. 

You should have gone.  There were boats hooking up everywhere! 

Story of my fishing life this year!!
