Fished from the beach at Mukilteo Lighthouse Park on Wednesday. Brought two rods with intentions to float herring and or cast small buzz bombs for a couple hours. I forgot that they have the Farmers Market on Wednesday so I'm hoping to get in and out fast.

Short leader and little weight. I don't want to be catching crab and I expect to fight with the darned eel grass. Neither of which happens. Bobber with with stopper, 1/2 ounce weight, and cut herring that had been salted the night before was my lucky choices.

About an hour and half of drifting herring and my day is done as I catch and land 2 5lb maybe coho. I was stunned how close to beach they came. So made up for the gajillion hours on Tuesday at Shipwreck with 35 + boats where we caught nothing, nada, and zip.

I may have to try this location. Have had zero bites at Carkeek and Picnic Point

@Whorde... surprised you haven't had much luck at the northern end of Carkeek where it is a bit deeper and the bobber and gear isn't going to find the crabs and sculpins as often. It's not really deep at Mukilteo off the beach but you can sometimes see the coho under the waves and the occasional one that jumps just outside your casting area and kind of says... ha ha you can't reach me.
