Mid Channel Bank - Port Towsend

Fishing for Chinook at Mid Channel Bank the past few days seemed to provide some "Fair" fishing for a number of our customers. Many had just a single fish to show for their effort but on the other had we did have some that limited out on Chinook fishing this popular spot. Most of the fish we heard of were from the mid - teens to the low thirties. The one common thing in catching fish here was to be dragging your offering right on the deck. Candlefish styled offerings were the baits of choice with candle fish Grand Slam coho flies in white or green / chartreuse colors, UV White Lightning Coho Killers or those with Chartreuse - Lime Green - Lime Green & Chartreuse colors, needle fish hoochies in OAL 12 colors all fished behind a flasher. Jiggers did well fishing Point Wilson Darts in the Pearl White or Pearl Green color combinations.

Make sure to drag your offering on the bottom in the 70 - 140 foot zone - and I do mean on the bottom!
