My old stomping grounds!  I miss the days after school or the weekend morning incoming tide mooching that drift half way from Owen beach down to around the point then just a little motor back toward the lighthouse for the deep hole. Find that 100' line where it drops off to 160 and fish around 120 or so. Dad and I used to slay them back in the day. Catching that eddy back to the hole was key to the big ones.

Last time I fished Pt. Defience we hooked allot of fish!

The problem was only one in 10 was a salmon, the rest were gear trashing dogfish  :puke:

Hit Pt. Defiance both days this weekend and was skunked. Fished both sides and could not get any keepers to the boat. Saturday was better seen fish caught all around us but we could not get it done. Better Luck next time. Better than a good day at work.

Except the bridge toll, lol

I can't remember the name, but there is a nice ramp south of the bridge, on the point?

About a 15 minute run back to the point.

Do you guys use bait or hoochie and a flasher?
It has been a couple years since I fished the point, it got to where I did not even want to use bait the dogfish were so bad.

I really dont fish it anymore. 6 to 8 or so years ago it really took a dive. Used to be stellar fishing. Now its not worth it to me.
When area 9 opened it even got worse. Now the guys up North are picking them off too. Not that its a bad thing, just not worth my time after how good it once was. Puyallup River mouth used to rock for Kings! Now its a ghost town....and 13 bucks to launch, what a joke.
I fish Southworth, Dolphin and St Clair nowdays...

Oh it's gone down hill but that's not the area that's the state and how it's managed. Not the areas fault and when you know as well as I do then why fish any where else
