Next week will begin a series of season openers for the 2019 salmon season for the Strait and interior of Puget Sound. For the last several years, I’ve attended the opener out in Port Angeles and had excellent results. This year may be even better, for a number of reasons we will discuss in this post.

WDFW announced the upcoming 2019 Puget Sound Crab Season on Jun 10th with details on specific dates and locations. Every year this announcement is greatly anticipated as crabbing is one of the most fun harvest activities you can participate in from a dock or from a boat.
Shrimping in the Strait of Juan de Fuca out of Sequim Bay in June 2019 produced mixed results and some good lessons on bait and locations.
