King Salmon - Areas 9 & 10

We are still hearing "Good" reports of king salmon fishing in areas 9 & 10. I would still have to say that the eastern side of the sound (Edmonds south) has been producing better that the Possession Point / South Whidbey area. We have seen some good catches of kings from the low teens into the low thirties coming from the eastern shoreline with the Edmonds / Richmnond Beach / Meadow Point / Elliot Bay still turning out more fish that other areas. Wouldn't say that the fishing has been "Hot", but the regulars are still getting a king or two for their efforts. Another good bet has been the Kitsap side of the sound from Point No Point / Pilot Point / Apple Tree Point / Kingston / Jefferson Head. Fish are moving and you have to find them, they are not stopping for any length of time as they have their natal streams on their mind and are motivated to get there. We should see a fair amount of decline in the king catches over the next weeks. Many are turning their attention to the greater number of pinks coming into the catches.
