Northwest Fishing Reports

I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself, but I'm more than ready for summer to be here at this point. My question is, when the pinks start running, area there any good beaches to fish from between Everett and Seattle. I live in Seattle and Work in Everett, so I'm just looking for a spot I can stop in for an hour or so in the evenings. Also, I should know this, but when do the pinks start to come in? And once again... Are they serious with this smiley :safe: ?

Take a Picnic to the point!:-# PP Incoming tides fly, spinner, spoon or a cupcake:colors:
Why wait for summer#-o run for Sequim = Mid channel:bounce: :bigsmurf: :brilsmurf


PP= cutts, coho, pinks even a rare Kinger fish just off the Creek near the drop we slide by there often and always hook up just N of Browns bay to the Shipwreck and Picnic point smack dead in the center of the Show!!!:chef: :bounce:

Many years we get the Special finger:colors: from the puffer crowd when the tub yells fish on!!!:cheers:

Mike,

I fish from Carkeek a lot all year. Last year (of course that wasn't a pink year) the most active time for resident silvers was March/April) I only went trolling once for pinks and did get one right off of Carkeek. I'm just saying that it's a descent beach depending on the time of year/and what is coming through. People like Lincoln park also. The reason I like Carkeek better is that there isn't as many people walking on the beach as there is at Lincoln or Shilshoe.

Right her and a 24.5 lb silver/Coho died right out in front of you:-$ beachers 2005 all this talk:colors: lets see the fish that relates to the puddying or were just talking kites and beach walks!:colors: Talk talk talk lets see the fish!:bounce: :chef: Creek runs right near the walking bridge and I saw a puffer guy late land a 12lb plus silver from the beach with the puffer stick.

We gave him a Standing OOOOOOOO:cheers:

You have three good ambush points between Everett and Seattle. I won't even talk about the bad mannered mob scene at the mouth of the Duamish. Picnic Point is good but the floting salad can be a real pain. Meadowdale Park is more of a walk, but it can also keep your rod bent. Carkeek can be good if the fish are in range. Plus on the right tide, particularly if it coincides with daylight, kings and silvers are in range at all three.

Swede, I certainly know the perks of being on a boat. I worked the area nine test fishery for WDFW last summer and definitely wish i could do that every day. Unfortunately, my 8.55$ hourly wage working for the Washington Conservation Corps doesn't afford me the opportunity to spend much time to get out on the water... Also, I like your PP pic. I do restoration work down there. That monstrosity of a house with the glassed in spiral staircase over on the left is for sale if anyone has a few extra million laying around... Heck, with this economy I was thinking of making them an offer!!!

So you know (Toby) fishes and checks for the State he has inspected a few kills from me:cheers: Good kid and lad:cheers: Runs a tricked out toyota pickup and lives to fish and works to fish!!! LOL

Were out of here boat waiting at the Marina next stop John Wayne Marina:cheers: one of my heros!!!
Derby time tools and cupcakes beware the Swede is on the Feed and 2 boats loaded with Pirates :cyclopsan :brilsmurf

Yeah, Toby's a great guy. Wasn't too bad spending the summer hangin with him. Good luck this weekend (although I know that for you luck has nothing to do with it)... Oh and be safe :safe:

swede you look like a wrestler from the WWF in that pic with the mount lol.

If you can ever hop the ferry at Mukilteo, several beaches along the west side of Whidbey Island offer awesome beach fishing for pinks if you hit the tides right. The afternoon high tides are always productive in August and into September, where more and more Coho show as the Pinks thin out....

I was going to ask how is Bush point for Pinks --- I know it can be good for Silvers. I'm going to try Picnic Point and if I get the handicapped parking permit - I might try meadowdale cause that walk down is llllloong if you have fishing gear with you....

PM me Gonefishing if ya got any questions, and I'll be glad to help you out. I'm up on the Island about 3 months of the year, usually fishing every day I'm up there....

I don't think it's ever too early to talk about the pink salmon season in Washington State. I live for the pink season and fish it hard when they start showing up in the Sound. As A9 said, in August the pinks start showing up in the Sound. It seems like it's usually late August, and they seem to be in the salt until maybe the third week of September before they thin out and have made their way into the rivers which are also fun to fish for them using a trout rod. So you might consider fishing the Snohomish River for an hour or two when you are in the Everett area. it's a good time fishing these 4 to maybe 7 pound salmon on a medium/heavy trout rod and some 10 pound test mono. Langus Park has a dock and there are a few other bank spots on Lowell Larimer Road just east of I-5 in Everett. Good luck.

look for the humpy fest in the eastern portion Marine area 9 to start about August 10th with favorable high tides in the AM and again after work on the 10th.

Can look for action a week or so earlier on the west shores of Whidbey and full blown action through out Puget Sound by mid-August. Hear that the lots of fish (millions) are expected to return this year to the Puget Sound rivers.

Have fun
