Good spots to fish from the shore on the Eastside

Post by Boeingfisher2706 » Wed Aug 22, 2012 11:13 am

Hi all,
I live in Bellevue and haven't gone fishing this year. I will be starting to go though this weekend! Iahve everything I need but I dont own a boat nor do I want one for this year. So I am asking where is the best place to fish from the shore or from a pier. I am willing to go as far north as Woodinville, as far west as Seattle and as far south as Renton. Please help

Regards,
Jordan

Hmmm your handle is Boeingfisher, Woodinville is north of you, Renton South and Seattle west... could you be in eastgate? 8-[

I would start with Coulon and other parks around Lake Washington..

Check out reports for Pine and Beaver Lakes up in Samammish, they would be close to you as well.

What are some other good parks...

I have tried Pine lake and it didn't go well(too many people in the swimming area and on the pier) and I thought there wasn't a pier on Beaver....

I would like maybe Washington and the sound if those could be options...

No pier on Beaver, but good bank access from the park and the boat launch. I've seen quite a few fish caught off the bank there.
