Report #2:

Stopped at dash point after work, around 7pm and talked to some fishermen who said that nothing had been caught there. Standing on the dock, I looked at the water and the visibility didn't look all that great, so I decided to drive a mile south and try my luck at browns point. Water visibility was great, and at around 8pm, after 45 minutes of fishing, I hooked a 17.5 inch pink. Not the biggest fish, but the first one of the year for me, so I was very pleased. I got one more bite after that, but it didn't stick. Packed up around 8:45. I was using a 1/8th oz pink jig w/ pink yarn tied to it, twitching it through the water with a 9.5 ft pole and 8lb Pline, the best there is out there in my opinion. I swear it feels stronger than 8lb, but maybe that's just me... I will try again this weekend, probably in the a.m.

Nice work! I was going to head over there last night but I cleaned up and organized my gear instead. How was the parking? I am going to hit it this weekend as well. Thanks for the report.

Parking at the entrance is hit or miss, but you can usually find a place to park near by. Just might have to walk a little further to reach the water.

We were there a Last weekend. One other person was there fishing besides my family of 7. I got one nibble but I lost it. So I am going to come down tonight and see if me and my kids can catch! Thanks. I make my own jigs for pink salmon. I like fishing by dipnet (Alaska beach fishing since I was a kid and Kenai and Kasilof). This is my first time with rod n reel so, I hope to make this exciting with my 6 kids! Trying to get them excited and into fishing. To me it's a way of sustaining. Thanks for report! Glad I found this sight.

I am headed over to the lighthouse tonight after dinner to cast for a while. I also intend to attack the area in my kayak Saturday morning if anyone else is out there.
