Pt. Defiance

We went three for five today. Two were twin 18-20 pounders and one about 10 or so.

Going to give it another shot tomorrow and see if we can't get into a little fun on the low tide change over.

Have our first ultra sound for baby #2 in the am, then running out after that.

I'll have an open seat if anybody wants to tag along? Will be drifting cut plugs as I don't have the EZ Troll for the boat yet...

No I rarely troll Point Defiance. I target fish in specific holes.  All caught jigging.

What do you guys JIG with ?   Never done it... wanna try it 

[MuleySniper]

I prefer a Pt Wilson dart. Trebles are not allowed so most guys come up with alternative rigs they like to use.

Does anyone ever bottom fish there?

[MuleySniper]

Other than flounder I don't think it is legal to keep or target bottom fish in area 11 other than lingcod which is typically only open for two months.

Yep. and you can get a ling or 2 off the sides of the slag pile.

Around the corner from Point Defiance, heading towards the bridge, there is a little housing area on the water on the East side of the narrows. This is Salmon Beach, out front of Salmon beach use to be a killer lingcod area. I have not fished it in 15 years though.

I am lucky i can catch  bottom fish and rock fish and all sorts of other fish year round  in westport.  lings have a season and cabazone do to i think.

Go to indianola pier. As far as I know its the longest public pier in the state, It stretches out 775 feet into the water.
Its pretty flat out there though and if you can get your line out about 100 feet from the end of the dock there's a really steep couple hundred foot drop off. I caught a small halibut there one time, Probably 10lbs or so. Lost it pulling it over the railing though, sad day.

Were is that at Smossy? Sounds like a  good place for a surf pole.
