Silvers - Becoming More Numerous

With each and every day we are seeing greater numbers of silvers in the catches from the local waters. There have been some fairly good catches the past couple of days by some of the regular customers. Most of the ocean fish we have been seeing have been in the 7 - 13 pound range. Nice average silver salmon that make for some fine eating.



The fish that have been caught have been from a variety of places and there has not been any one hot spot. We have been seeing fish in the Edmonds area, anywhere from just north of the ferry slip down past the breakwater and south toward Richmond Beach. One of our regular guys has been catching a fair number in the Shilshole / Meadow Point area for the past few days.



There has been a few caught in the shipping channel between Possession Point and Mukilteo in the deep water. One of the guys called me yesterday afternoon and had found a batch in the open water at 35 feet and managed a limit to 12 pounds.



This fishery will just get better with each passing tide. We should see some excellent silver fishing over the next few weeks. The run generally peaks around the 22 of September.

Don't forget your Edmonds Coho Derby tickets as they have sold better than half already.
