Got out on the water about 6:00 and fished till around 11. I think it's pretty early and nobody has been catching any salmon really, although we did hit a couple nice flounder.

Went off the dock at Point Defiance and didn't even get a bite. I don't know if it is the weather or if the fish just aren't there. I was targeting bottomfish, primarily flounder.
