Well the pinks are running on the hood canal. Went out yesterday evening and saw a few schools. Went out this evening and they came rolling in thick. Way more fish compared to yesterday. Crazy what a difference one day makes. Hooked quite a few but lost a lot. Good fighters for their size, and nice red meat for the smoker. Most are small couple pounders, but every once in awhile a big one would be hooked. 7lb ish big. 1/4oz pink jigs twitched at the top of the water column, and most wouldnt strike til the jig was right in front of you. Most my fish hit right as i finished reeling in.

Any place to get at them from shore? I'm monetarily challenged and boat-less.

Schu, neither of those were me! I was in camo waders. I didn't really fish a lot yesterday, I stood about 20 ft from the stairs, not in the handi cap hole, during high tide when theres no little islands showing, I kept seeing small groups of 5 or 6 fish come past you guys and I got 2 out of there that way away from people. Ill definetly say hi sometime!
