Northwest Fishing Reports

I've been out four times in the last two weeks and can't seem to find the cats. I have talked to several anglers and have been directed to spots around Seward. It seems like there are too many weeds close to shore to get into the fish. I've used worms, cheese, garlic sauce, nuggets... don't know what to do next. I know they are in there but just don't have the technique.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Yep I like samammish but the park closes too early. I like evening/night fishing. There are some nice cats in there though.

If you take a drive along Lake Washington Boulevard as the sun goes down you will see small groups of people in chairs next to the lake. Watch them, listen to them and befriend them. Remember, at night you don't need to go deep to catch cats. If you feel you need to fish deeper, out of the weeds, hit the various fishing docks along Lake Washington Boulevard. Remember the parks close at sunset, so don't get caught in them after hours.

I wondered about the rules of staying in the park/parkiing lots after 10pm. I can park out in the side streets legally but is it legal to still fish in the park after 10pm? There are a few lots without gates but still signs that says the park closes at 10pm. There are other areas along the lake that aren't park of the park that I can fish I guess.

hey jojo i've recently been catching alot of cats off of the juanita park dock. straight down on the left corner (whole nightcrawler or chicken so the little perch don't rob you). not as many bass as sammamish but if my dad needs his truck on certain days and i can't take the boat. cats and smaller bass are always fun

U of W area. Or night time along Seward Park.Others too.I PM you

any idea if Matthews Beach is good for cats?
