A P.S. to my posting yesterday:
I talked to Larry, there at Bush Pt. When I was there over the holidays.
He said that though it has been slow, there was one day where a slug of fish
went by . . . 7 fish caught in front of his place!
It looks like a real crap shoot as to being there at the "right time".
With what the rivers started doing over night (check out the hydro graphs),
the salt may be the only option.
I am going over to Allyn to visit my folks, and will hit the beaches in
conjunction with my ferry rides.
Any of you folks planning on being there?
Moore later,
Tom

Leland,
where in the salt have you been fishing Coho? Are they all
over the sound
at this time of year? Are you getting them from the shore?
Maybe I will
see you out on the island this weekend. I am going to go
make a few casts
if I can.
Dan
