My first salt water adventure with my brother Richard, and pinkpole, Kim.
I got the big motor adjusted and it ran great. The kicker started in 20 pulls. None of us were skunked. I am trying to learn how to launch and take out my boat with the dock at Pt. Defiance. Launching went fine but there will have to be some fine tuning in the take out.

We trolled past the slag pile. Saw fish jumping in over 200 foot of water. Then we went to the mouth of the Puyallup. Nothing happening.
Went over to Brown’s point where we each caught a fish. Kim a big flounder, released. Richard got a pink salmon which went into the fish box. He was using a Wannafish A Lure DPS 1. Then a little closer to Dash Point I got a flounder on a DPS 5.
The most action we saw was at Dash Point. All off the dock. We didn’t see any other boats get fish. (They did according to the fish checker).

There were maybe 4 boats at Browns Point. Richard got the pink and I netted it and put it away then there might have been 10 boats when I looked up. Have no idea where they came from. :)
After Dash Point we went to Vashon Island Piner Point then to Neil Point. Nothing we could see happening. We came back to the launch at 12:30pm.
The tide change was very small. 11am was the prime time at Dash Point dock.

Sounds like a great time, glad you made it out and it ran good for you. I am sure with time putting the boat in and out will be second nature for you. Tight lines.

what size,age etc is your kicker? I used to go to dash dock , till it got way out of hand. a good place to fish, would be the area off dock street. some fish from shore. but i got a gut feeling, with a boat, you would do well. coho dont bite well here, until they get in the river. they allways say....."coho arentt in the bay yet"- while we have been conking them on the river. am smoking kokes today. perhaps drop down to the river later. tight lines!
