Team Cut Plug took the 45 minute boat ride up to Port Townsend for the opener this morning. At 5:15 We dropped the Bottom tracking Cannon down riggers and the cut plug herring out the back 25 feet out. The first fish came at 6:00 and was a constant bite till 8:15 when we limited with 6 dandy kings. We also released a 20" hatchery king. 100% of the fish caught were on bottom track in the 70-120 foot range. Herring didn't even get a bump. We used a silver horde spoon and Q cove flashers that are shown in the picture below. All in all it was an awesome day for team Cut Plug.

Good job out there Team Cut Plug!

Meanwhile, Team Outdoor Line struggled a bit... We started at Possession and got one on our first drag and then the reports from Midchannel started coming in!

We ended up the day going four for six. Here's my wife Kathy with one of the opening day chunky chinook!
