Northwest Fishing Meets & Fishing Buddy Thread

I just saw a thread for the South East about fishing meets. I didn't see a thread like that for the Northwest. I would love to meet up with some fellow fisherman and do some fishing. I'm actually looking to go to Twin Harbors this Sunday to fish for surf perch and dig razor clams. Anyone from the Western Washington area on TW like to fish?

 

I'm in Seattle so I fish area 10 and 9 for salmon. I will watch this thread and post in the summer when I'm looking for people that aren't afraid of 6am on the weekends or get seasick.

 

damn... I read north east fishing meet and got excited. go get em fellas...

 

You can count me in .Those are my areas I fish also, along with MA 6,7, and 8 oh and Neah Bay in May. I have a boat with an open seat for my fellow TW members.

 

Will keep an eye on this thread... will be up in Oregon / maybe southern Washington in a couple weeks on a camping trip and will have fishing gear with me of course

 

Are you doing any blackmouth fishing? My boat is in the water at Shishole so it a long trip to get up to the open area.

 

You mind if a novice tags along to learn the sport?

I used to fish when I was a kid in WI but its been a couple decades.

 

I'll be looking for people in the summer and fall. I'll post a day or two in advance when I have room on the boat. I'm always up for showing new people what I can.

 

Awesome. I'll supply the beer/drinks

 

Yes, I do. Been fishing Possession Bar a couple of times and have done very well. I really like the Tin Shed run. I launch out of Everett or Edmonds. Edmonds is a great launch to hit the Kingston area or Possession but damn it's so expensive. It cost me $45 to launch my Ducky vs $9 out of Everett. You add about 35 minutes of travel time leaving from Everett to get to Possession. I plan on hitting it up again here soon. I have to do my yearly deep cleaning and service my motors next weekend. I'll hit you up when I go again and you can come join in on the fun.

 

I like fishing.

 

I was thinking razor clamming this weekend in Mocrocks, but not sure yet.

OP, what kind of boat do you got there? I was looking (drooling) at a Hewes or Kingfisher 21 foot-ish foot cabin model. Was wondering how well it might tow.

 

I have a good spot in Twin Harbors. I guess there is a razor clam festival there this weekend. It's going to be over 60 degrees on Sunday on the coast. It will be a good day to hit the beach for clams.

I have a 19 foot Duckworth Advantage. Love my boat and my Tacoma tows it with no issues. Your Tacoma will tow that 21 footer with no issues. I like the Hewes myself over the Kingfisher but both are great boats. Kingfisher has a sister company called Jetcraft and I had the 16 1/2 Jetcraft Falcon before the Duckworth.

 

The weather is finally going to be nice. And this is the first weekend where it's going to open during reasonable daylight hours.

Sweet boat! Duckworth definitely look like one of the premium brands.

 

Awesome idea. I'm in for sure. I fly fish and go out for clams/ mussels a few times per year. Up for anything in this realm though.

Fly fishing from a boat in the ocean/ sound does work, but not for Kings. Coho and Pinks stay closer to the surface though. I'm not opposed to spinner gear, unlike most fly fisherman.

 

Mostly fly fishing here too. I do fish the beaches for Searun Cutthroat, resident Silvers and Blackmouth, pinks when they run

 

Awesome! We should get out to some high alpine lakes and creeks this summer.

 

Yessir. Skwallas are coming out on the Yakima right now, I'm out of town next week but I'll probably head over there when I get back.

 

Awesome! I floated the upper part of the canyon last weekend. Very very cold. Frozen line guides on the rods... i think you are right though, with the high temps expected next week, the skwallas will be in shortly.
