Squid Fishing
« on: January 03, 2016, 08:54:03 PM »
Went squid fishing last night in Edmonds. It was definitely fun, since there isn't a lot to do this time of year. Not to mention, they were delicious.
Edmond was kind of a far drive, we live up in Skagit County. Does anybody have advice on where we could go up North? Cornet Bay..Bellingham? Appreciate any feedback.  :)

Got the lic. Got the rules down. Just looking for some spots closer to home. Thank you though.

Thanks Run:) I looked into that, I found the municipal dock, but they have closed it. There's gotta be something out there though.

Nothing I've heard of. We have found squid egg cases on a lost crab pot, but I have not been able to find any info regarding squid in the San Juans. 

I think there is some fishing in Mukilteo near the ferry, a bit closer than Edmunds.

The website lists Kayak Point, but I know they close the park at dark.

I'm in the same boat, Everett is probably the closest place if you have a boat.

Thanks guys. Yeah, kayak point closes, as dusk. I will have to take a look around a bit more and just give different places a shot.
