Fishing for King Salmon | Marine Area 11 Point Defiance | July 1st 2022 

Tony, thats because your trout are as big as salmon! 😆. Always great hearing from you, glad you enjoyed the action!

@@ThePiscatorian360 😄too right buddy,,, too right, 😃

They are a lot of fun to catch. So much that I'm going to take tomorrow off to see if I can find a hungry one! Lots of big ones out of the bay area this year. Wish we got them as big up here in the numbers they get.

Thanks buddy, one day I will have to come visit and we can go chase them together!

Good to see you here Captain Zac, tight lines, love your video mate,, Tony.

Yeah, Carli was thrilled to get a nice hatchery King on deck, the last few for her were wild so it was her time to get a keeper. Thanks for dropping in. Tight lines!

Yeah!!!!!

Yeah it was productive and a lot of fun!

Thanks yeah, a lot of fun to fight as well. Im hoping to find a hstchery one myself but I was really happy to see my wife get one. The last king she caught was a couple years ago on her birthday and it was wild so it had to be released. She finally got a keeper. Thanks for stopping by.

We got one in the boat!

Yeah, it was a pretty action packed morning. Here in Puget Sound each marine area has different rules, with king salmon you have to release the wild ones. Salmon have an adipose fin on their back in between the dorsal and tail. They clip them off when they are smolts at the hatchery. No fin means hatchery fish. Thanks for dropping by, it's always great to hear from you.

Yeah, I still need to catch a hatchery summer king. I keep finding the wilds, my eife gets the hatchery fish! 😆 I hope to get out there again soon. Probably will try the derby. Hope to see you on the water. Tight lines!

I saw your boy a few months ago in Tracker. He looks like he is doing good over there.

@@ThePiscatorian360 yeah he is doing well over there. Will certainly pull up and say hello if I see the new boat on the water. Congrats on it by the way.

Thanks man, pull up for sure. Btw area 10 is hot right now. Got a solid hatchery king yesterday.

Yeah a lot more fun than catching nothing, which happened to me a couple Saturday's back! Thanks for dropping in Brett.

@@ThePiscatorian360 Ouch.

Yeah, she does good work. Wild fish have there adipose fin intact

Awesome! Yeah I got a solid one yesterday about 33 inches in area 10. Great job on the 20 pounder, you don't see too many of those in the sound.

@@ThePiscatorian360 thanks! No you don’t see those everyday. Good job on the 33 incher, must of been a nice fish.

Yeah, I will get a video of that trip out down the road. I'm a little behind in my editing. Have to get some other videos out.

@@ThePiscatorian360 your great! Keep up the hard work! Love your videos!

Yeah , that might be something to do in the future for sure. Area 10 action was hot this week thanks for dropping in. Id love to see pictures if your B.C. catch. Thepiscatorian@gmail.com

@@ThePiscatorian360 Jerry I hope you got the pictures I tried several times and it kept saying can’t find address

I got your email but there was no attachments.

@@ThePiscatorian360 ok when I get home I try again

Hey Jerry I tried again I’m hoping you got them

Yeah it was a fun morning bite. We had a couple we missed one in a turn, couldn't catch up on the slack. Then one when we were snacking! 😆 I seem to always find wild ones too. Tight lines!

@@ThePiscatorian360 ...yup we had on 2 snack fish as well..lol

Always seems to happen like that!

I am still looking to get out this year as well. I'm off to a late start this year. This video was last year. I luanched out of Pt. Defiance in Tacoma. Right now, area 11 is closed, Area 10 Seattle is open, and you can launch out of ballard at eddie Vine. There's lot of coho and kings out there.

Thanks, it's a hewescraft ocean pro 220.

@@ThePiscatorian360 one day I want to make good money like you and I want to buy a boat.

Sure is! It means a fisherman; an angler.

So I have used my 160 sportman on the sound for 8 years. The hull pounds in the wind waves. I'd recommend smooth move suspension seats for it. That would make your body much happier with thats said hewescrafts are awesome boats. A pro v would be a little better ride for you or a 19ft sea runner better than that. The 180 sportman would getnit done on most days but I would go in the middle of the straights in it. Hope that info helps. My friend got an 180 and it rides nicer then my 160.

@@ThePiscatorian360 Thanks a ton !,

@@adamnoga-styron7882 yeah man. Let me know what you end up with. Tight lines!

Ocean pro 220

There were a ton of boats out there, more then I've ever seen. Had to reel and dodge that day!

@@ThePiscatorian360 i saw threw the video that were more than what i would want to be in

@@ThePiscatorian360 that day i went up to riffe Lake at mossyrock and got landlock coho really well around the island to the east on the south side of the lake
