Coho - Marine Areas 8-2, 9 & 10

Coho fishing continues to be quite good in all of our local Marine areas.  This fishing should continue at least for the next few weeks. 

In Marine Area 8 -2 :  We finally seeing some fair fishing in the Humpy Hollow, Naketa Beach, Shipwreck and Picnic Point areas.  Though this fishery is definitely not as hot as the Edmonds area it has started to produce some fair catches over the weekend and the first part of this week.  We had one of the customers stop by this afternoon and had three nice ten pound coho in his fish box.  This area is traditionally a staging area for coho bound for the Snohomish and Stillagumish River systems.  This area should see some very good fishing over the next couple of weeks.

Marine Area 9 :  Fishing has been nothing short of outstanding now for the better part of three weeks.  We have not seen coho fishing like this for many, many years.  The best area overall will be from Browns Bay (north of Edmonds) south to the Area 10 line.  Fishing just right out in front of Edmonds has been very good, and many are kicking out of the Edmonds Marina on just their trolling motors and never even start their mains as the fishing is just that close.  In the past few days we are starting to see some larger coho showing in the catches.  One of the customers had a nice pair of 14 pound coho on Monday in the Point No Point area and we heard of another in this class caught the same day just south of there on the Kingston side. 

Marine Area 10 :  The top end of of Marine Area 10 and all the way to West Point has been as productive as the Edmonds Area for the past few weeks.  The whole shoreline area from Edmonds, Richmond Beach, Boeing Creek and south has been nothing short of outstanding fishing .

With the fishing the way it has been, if you want to get in on some good action this is the time you should get out.  Don't Wait!
