New at squids my friends?

[Encore 280]

Anybody have suggestions for a boat-less fisherman in the West Sound?  I don't know of any long piers out into the sound.

Sometimes they're in the marinas under the lights so Winslow marina might be a place to start if you can get down on the floats.

Nobody posting is using a boat.

The big squid fishing piers are Edmonds, Steilacoom, and Dash Point as mentioned above.  Seems early to be getting them in numbers. Congrats to those filling their buckets.   

Thanks, Ed.  What about similar piers on the west side of the sound?  Are there any?

Sorry, can't help there, I wasn't thinking Bremerton/Port Angelas West since I saw Seattle? on your profile.  I wish I could figure out a place here in the islands, even having to use the boat.  A neighbor pulled up an old crab trap two summers ago covered with squid egg cases, but that was during the summer.

The illahee dock in bremerton.   The one at the bottom of ocean view and illahee rd.  The lights on until 10pm.  If your new at it pay close attention to the other people there.  And copy them.  I see  them there every night.

Excellent.  Thanks. 

And thanks, Encore, for the Winslow marina tip.  By the way, can I borrow your net again?

If you are in Seattle, Pier 86 (by Olympic Sculpture Park) or Dock A in Ballard are popular. There are a couple others, but I've never been to those personally.

There is also a popular pier in Des Moine and one on Ruston Way in Tacoma.

Probably others too, but those are the ones I know of

Went to Pier 86 last night. Caught about 10 good sized ones in an hour. Probably could have caught more, but I had enough for tonight's appetizer and it was just too freaking cold!
