Headed out Friday to see what is happening on T Bay.  I was with a couple of folks that know the Bay and have pretty consistent luck there.  We were in the thick of things by 8:30.  There were about 40 boats in the Ghost Hole and the day was classic coastal - gray, curtains of medium mist and about a 20 knot wind.  It looked perfect for bagging, or at least playing, a nice fall chinook.  We fished hard for about 4 hours and had no action.  We saw one fish on the whole time.  This includes 8-10 guide boats in the mix.  We moved out to the jetty, “the Jaws”, and gave it a go for another couple of hours.  Nada as well.  We weren’t even marking fish on the depth finder. 

It was good company and good fun but zero fish action.  I have to believe that there is a basic lack fo fish and that this year could be a very bad year for chinook.  Maybe the rain this weekend will perk things up.  Judging by the lack of more than 3-4 cars parked along the Wilson on the way over, there is not much happening. 

This was definitely a “maybe next time” trip.  Sal
