Pink and Silver Salmon Summer/Fall Fishing

Whidbey Island Salmon Fishing - 9-12-11

We just got back from a trip to Whidbey Island to do some Salmon fishing. We lucked out and found a campsite at Fort Ebey Campground thanks to a guy named John Coffin. He let us have a site that he wasn't using but had already reserved! Thanks John! The campsite was sweet! We did some evening fishing that night at Fort Casey just down the street from Fort Ebey. We didn't have any luck but we did get a couple of hits using pink middle sized buzz bombs. I have included a picture of me holding a monster Silver salmon that I caught just the weekend before right off the shore of Fort Casey. On Saturday we didn't catch any fish but we did see the Orcas playing in the sound off of Fort Casey. Anyways after catching nothing Friday and Saturday on Fort Casey we moved up to Deception Pass Campground to fish around the North Beach area of Deception pass. There we saw several Pink Salmon get caught on Pink Buzz Bombs. Then we moved down to West Beach where we watched another two pinks get caught. The tide was slack high and people were still catching. I was told the Pinks were kinda past and that the Silvers were mostly in the water. But, I also talked to a fisherman that said he had been up the last couple weekends and caught a total of 9 Silvers. And I watched people catching Pinks right in front of me.  So anyways. Moral of the story: get to fishing on the sound asap before it gets cold!
