Anybody know when the time for silvers to arrive in the cove there in Whittier by the boat harbor? I couldn't remember if it was early September to early October or late September through October. Thanks in advance.

Pigot point ...
Was out trolling on the south side of Pigot Pt. last Saturday (9/9). It wasn't 'hot' by any stretch of the word. Trolled for about 3 1/2 hours. We ended up picking up 6 and missing 7 or 8 others.
Five rods in the water; 2 on deep sixes and 3 on banana weights. One of each of the divers or weights was trolling a silver/green spoon. The rest were using herring.
You could definitely tell when you hit a school of 'em, because 3 or 4 or even all 5 would get hit. Didn't seem to matter what the lure/bait was when you found them.
Was trolling about 3 mph (give or take).
Hope this helps.

How far is long bay and pigot point from the harbor? And can I make it in my 17' jon boat? Any advice you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated as whittier is a new place to me.
I would like to catch alittle more fish before the boat is parked and the 4 wheeler comes out.
Thanks-Chris

We ended up going both Saturday and Sunday, on Saturday we went to the cove, don't know the name, but if you take the road by the old hospital, it goes straight there. It was a little crowded for us, and the bite was on intermittent. We decided to check out the harbor, all we had was vibrex. My brother caught a really nice one, and everyone was catching around us with Herring. Sunday we arrived with Herring, and was skunked, so we switched back to Vibrex. Everyone around us was catching on Roe. Next weekend if we go, we will have Vibrex (Copper colored), Herring and Roe. These Silvers are ALOT bigger than the ones in Ship Creek. Everyone was catching right by the boat ramp, it was more combat fishing then down at the Russian. We were down a ways by dock "Z"If you can read this, thank a teacher.

HOT SILVERS still
We were a glutton for punishment yesterday after work. As supersticion goes, the Cafeateria served my favorite soup for lunch. So I took it as a sign to see I might limit out in Whittier. We took off at 5pm from work, caught the 6:30 tunnel and fished on the rocks beneath the "Bread and Butter" shack at about 3 feet deep, using a copper vibrex (5) and some roe on the hook, we were slaying them. the tide was almost out when we started and had just started coming back in when we limited out. All in all it was about 45 minutes of fun fun fun. It was ALOT nicer to fish there on the week day instead of Combat Fishing (as bad as the Russian?) on the weekend.If you can read this, thank a teacher.
