Marine Area 9 Opener!

[Nelly]

We braved the sub-freezing temperatures and persistent fog to try out Possession Bar this morning...and, we weren't dissapointed!

With an 0800 high tide, we were fortunate to have an ebb that lasted the entire morning. As the ebb started to build, the bait started marking on the sounder and with the bait... you guessed it, the fish started to show.

Luhr Jensen Coyote Spoons behind Coyote Flashers worked right on the bottom with Cannon Downriggers were the ticket today.

Area 9 is open now until April 15th and we've just scratched the surface! Get out there gang... and stay warm!!!

Nice work! Maybe I should get my boat out and try!

It was sure cold out there, but it turned out to be a beautiful day. I did see u out there Tom, I was in the blue North River sled with the X-RODS stickers. Hooked into 2 nice ones and went home around noon. Good day overall. When is the new boat coming Tom???

[Nelly]

I saw the blue sled!
Glad you got into them today too

As to the new ride... Heck, it's Seattle Boat Show season,,, anything can happen

Nice job Boss, all your excitement and anticipation paid off. Looks like I'd better get a couple days figured out to hit the water with ya. Chasing some Winter Blackmouth is just what I need...

Nicely done Nelsticle!

Day 2 of area 9 was also very good. We got into them again today in almost the same spot as yesterday (the tides were pretty close to the same). Q-Coves and coho killers. That Yellow Tail always pays off
