Got to west beach in deception pass state park about 7:30am or so, fished til close to 10am. made a lot of cast along the beach with no hits or seeing any signs of pinks around. We packed up and headed to bush pt. Saw a good amount of fish coming by the beach but most were outside of normal casting range. I was using a 10'9" spinning rod with 10lb Berkeley nanofil and was able to put a 2 1/2" buzzbomb into the eyesight of a couple schools and ended up going 2 for 5 in about 3 hrs at bush pt. Most of the fish I saw caught were pretty small (about 18" or so) but at least there's some fish showing.

If I am not mistaken Deception Pass is in Area 8-1 and is closed to salmon until August 1. I actually went out there last weekend (?) and thought it was weird that there was no one fishing. Good to hear the pinks are out and about. Thinking about hitting up Fort Flagler tomorrow and giving it a go.

If he fished west of West point at deception, then it's MA 6, not MA 9. The way I read MA 6 rules, you aren't allowed to keep any Chinook, wild coho, sockeye or chum. So pretty much pinks and find clipped coho are good. When he went down to bush point, then he went to MA 9 rules.

That part of Deception pass is in area 6, the cutoff between area 6 and 9 on Whidbey is at partridge point at fort Ebey state park. It does show that there is a part of area 6 open in the regs but I'm not sure if its referring to the location you were at. It appears to be referring to a few locations on the north part of the peninsula, then is says "salmon, entire area; 1aug-...". I could be interpreting this wrong, but that's what I'm seeing, if anyone else wants to correct me or help me interpret that part please do, as I would love to fish deception pass right now lol.
