Downtown Bellingham urban salmon fishing
« on: November 18, 2013, 01:50:48 PM »
Ok so this is the weirdest fishing hole I've found yet, but the park along the waterfront in downtown Bellingham (where that big creek dumps into the bay) is loaded with salmon right now... I bet they are dogs, but they smoke up well and are fun to catch....there were a bunch of guys fishing it today, saw some guys walking out with fish. No point keepin this spot a secret....urban salmon fishing
catch it. kill it. cook it. eat it.
Forget the bear spray, use wasp killer. Concentrated delivery stream, 10X the product, and only $3.00 on sale.

I smoke two fish in the morning, I smoke two fish at night, I smoke two fish in de afternoon makes me feel alright

It turned in ti a real zoo. I was there the day of stabing of the guy with the needle noise pliers, Watcheed fist fights. The breaker for me was when I was standing need the wall. I wasn't fishing I was going to over to the other side, Well the kid pull of his jacket to his side and he packing large revolver. He thought I was going to slide into his spot on the Wall of Shame. All over chum that most even when see bright, sea lice on them already have loose eggs and the bucks you pic up and jizz runs out of them.
I have always though it would be a perfect spot for a handicap fishery and/or Seniors. Get the homeless out, the poaching rusians, etc..... Shut down the WALL OF SHAME!!!!!!!!!

That place is nuts! I watched a kid snag a chum in the back and had it planing on the surface about 30 yards out. His leader broke and his led came flying back and tattooed his a$$ right between the eyes. K.O.'d his a$$, out cold.
Team nubby!

I'm surprised the Bellingham City Council has not amended their Muni Code to ban fishing or any kind in Whatcom Creek.
Wouldn't surprise me if they tried considering they are as  :tree1: as a council could possibly get.   :chuckle:
