Northwest Fishing Reports

i want to fish pinks this year but i dont know where to go...can someone please tell me where to go and what to use?[confused] close to west seattle

Lincoln park beach. You don't have to go anywhere

I agree with Quad - I haven't fished it myself, but have heard Lincoln Park is a great area for jigging buzzbombs off the beach.

If you are looking for shoulder2shoulder2shoulder2shoulder combat fishing (well maybe 1/4 of em will be "fishing" the others will be snagging) then you can run down the other side of the hill to the Spokane Street bridge.

For River you can hit the Duwamish when it opens up which is not far from you as well.

Those that will be snagging will then be denying it when the warden shows up only after ditching gear in the river because they may or may not even have a license to fish. Never fished there but heard stories.

Agreed. But on the other hand if you want some peace and quiet, make a little time for yourself and head for monroe once the run gets into swing in the snohomish. It's a beautiful river, well worth the effort.

Peace and quiet? During pink fever? don't think there is such a thing#-o

Of course it is all relative - after trying to fish with 30 people in 60 feet of bank space, cutting that down to 20 people would seem like peace and quiet:)

How much longer until there at spokane bridge?

From Fauntleroy to Duwamish head. I usually fish pinks off Harbor Island on the Duwie. Pink spoons,pink buzz bombs . Just about anything lure style that has pink in it.I take my fading lures and paint them pink using finger nail polish.

Cast pink jigs with light gear. FUN!!!! It works in the salt too.

Bush Point in Freeland is a consistent producer which even gives you a chance at catching a resident coho! I was there on Sunday and hooked one small pink about 18 inches, but its still a little early. They should in the sound with in the next 2-3 weeks

I really enjoy winter steel at Bush Point. Do you fish it the same as steelies with a spin n glo and hoochie?

Oh and racfish I posted a report for area 9 the other day it has some setups that I used to get 1 small pinky. And as I said its still a little early. They should start showing up in good numbers next week.
