Northwest Fishing Reports

You'll need a catch card for salmon or crab, it's a free add-on with your saltwater license. if you're targeting anything else you don't need the catch card. Good call on the pier being packed, should have no issue getting sand dabs in pretty much any depth so fishing from the shore sounds like a go...

Bringing this thread back from the dead, I've only picked up resident coho so far this year but have heard that there are some 8 and 9lb fish starting to show up in area 10. Gonna try to find one for myself this coming weekend. Tight lines all!

If primary goal is to catching something and have fun, I would target bottom fish from the beach... you should be able to pull in some sand dabs without much trouble.

went out for a few hours on Thursday afternoon and again today from 7:40 to 3, nothing to show for it. Is anyone still getting coho in 10 or is that all she wrote?

coho2.jpg I just added a fishing report for area 10, not published yet though. I picked some up on Saturday, good eating but not monsters... 4.5 and 5.5lbs. I was fishing the Edmonds//oil docks/Richmond Beach/Boeing Creek stretch of area 10. First one (the smaller one) in around 100 FOW with 80 on ...
