Northwest Fishing Reports

i myself dont have a boat so i am stuck fishin from piers and beaches, just wonderin if anyone has been to kayak point recently, i love fishin for flounder and last year this place was a hot spot for some biggins!

i used small hook with crappie tubes(geen/white. red/white, glow) on a two foot leader. set it up like a drift rig. i would tip it with a little chunk of shiner perch and it worked awsome, and for some reason the tubes keep the bull heads off.

i started fishin around june and it was hot then, one after another. any one know what time of the year the fishin get hot around there?

My favorite to fish Kayak Pt and other piers in Puget Sound is usually around April-June for sea perch.

Kayak is one of the better places for perch. Except they have that stupid $5 parking fee (might be up to $10 by now).

i just buy the year passes for the state parks, little bit cheaper that way. well thanks for the info. might have to go try it out this weekend

went down before work today and caught two in about a half hour. little guys nothin big, i was just droppin right off the south side of the pier. this weekend i am gonna try it again though. the squid are still runnin around there. got one on a white crappie skirt?

KAYAK FISHING ON RIGHT NOW CHANNEL 9 KCTS LINGCOD OFF KAYAK

NICE! i am at work i would have tuned in. never though of that as a productive ling spot. might have to bust out the little boat and hit it up

wait a minute here...

Is KTK referring to fishing for ling cod from a kayak? Or fishing for ling cod from a kayak at Kayak Point?

Kayak Point does not seem like ling territory to me. No rock structure--just mud/sand bottoms. I've caught salmon, perch, flounder, cod, pollock, bullhead, and shiner perch from there. Never seen anyone catch a ling or rockfish or other bottomfish associated with rocky structure.

i have seen a yellow looking rock fish and a couple of cabazon caught there. i have dove under the peir and there is a rock pile underneth of it. there is also i struture off the point its self a ways

It was (the TV program) about fishing lingcod from a kayak in the San Juans. Not fishing Kayak Pt. I just posted it as quick as I could in a thread with the word "KAYAK" in its title so it would get out quick. It was on KCTS Channel 9 in Seattle. It was pretty darn sweet but only lasted 10 minutes. Kayak Pt. is not necessarily a good lingcod area, so save yourself some time and don't fish for lings here as it's sandy and a bit rocky at best and absolutely no good reefs are around for the lings to hide in...it was NOT about fishing Kayak Pt. for a kayak. It was about fishing from a kayak period. Hope that clears it up! That's not to say a rogue lingcod couldn't be caught here...but it's not a place I'd fish.

where exactly is Kayak point? I would love to be able to go to a dock and catch some flounder like we used to be able to do here in Tacoma. when I was growing up my dad and i used to go to Les Davis, Point Defiance, or that dock off teh Nisqually basin(used to be able to get some rally big flounder there) and be able to catch a bucketfull of them. Or if anyone knows of any place closer that would be appreciated too

Kayak Pt is north of the Tulalip Reservation, near Marysville. About 1.5 hours from Tacoma. Probably too far for you.

But check out this link from the WDFW site for additional spots that may be closer to you.

no joke. when the coho roll thru you can knock em silly with streamers...i put up my box a couple days ago...check it out...it's off da hook... K_T_K

From what I understand, there is a resident school of of coho that run from Kayak Pt. to Meadow Pt.

i went out saturday and i dont know if they were silvers or black mouth but there was about 200 of them under the peir. oh and fishing sucked. three hours and all i caught was two crab.

i have caught steelhead of the point fishing with wing bobbers and hochie skirts
