Started trolling about 7:30pm on the north side of the shoal with about 1.5 foot waves, first hit at 8:30 in 15 feet on a green and orange stick bait a 5lber. Another the same size 25 minutes later again green and orange in 12 feet. Waves had flattened right out as dark came on to slow rollers less then a foot. Nothing else until about 11:30, went up on the shoal to 7' and nailed an 8 lber, again on a stickbait, then lost another a few minutes later and headed back in to Olympic Harbour. Marked lots in the 15'-25' depths but no hits there, everything was shallow. Saw a couple boats south of Snake on the way back in, looked to be fishing but no one else out at Melville. Might have been one other boat fishing at Salmon Shoal as well. Great sunset, awesome moonrise while it lasted. These are the times you realize why washing lures rocks. John
