Hi WALAKES
Pink season is close. Thinking of ways to avoid the crowds asI really enjoy fishing for pinks 5 minutes from my house.
What would be the cheapest/safest way of going the very short distance from the 1st ave boat launch to the area due north of the spokane street bridge?
Float tubes are out as I don't want to be eaten by seals. Don't want to deal with a huge yak.
Is there something at walmart or the local sport shops that may work for me? I'm in Seattle.
I thought about renting a kayak from Alki kayak but that would get expensive quick at $15 hour. Would take an hour to paddle to the mouth anyways.
Any ideas appreciated! Or if you have a toon or yak to unload let me know!

There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

great idea! found a few boats cheap. now just need to figure out how to throw em on top with scratches! roof rack time perhapsRatherbefishing wrote:How about something a little more stable? Nothing scares the crap out of you more than being in a inflatable and that big ass sea lion pops up right behind you! Lots of small boats on CL next to nothing. Can probably find a small outboard on there too. Even if you don't have a truck a 10 ft boat is easy enough to throw on top of car esp if you only live a few minutes away.

thanks for the pontoon idea! Looks like itd be much more practical that mooring a boat, plus the mouth of the duwi are calm waters.gfakkema wrote:Have you seen this?

Also, I picked up a Classic Accessories Colorado pontoon boat (made in Kent, WA) for $400 new a year or so ago. DJButler also has this toon and has set it up pretty nice for trolling lakes. Mine goes on the roof of the wifes car without scratching it, or can be completely disassembled and thrown in the trunk or back seat. Just a thought.

A pontoon is the ticket we do tidal drifts and stay in the fish and never wait for boat launch its easy to carry down to the water I park by bridges and put in easy peasy
