Port Gamble - Poulsbo Trip Advise
« on: Today at 06:01:04 PM »
I am going to be putting together a 3 day or so crabbing / shell fish trip to the Port Gamble area mid June.  Been many times and got the shell fish thing down.  This time I will be bushwacking out of my truck sleeping in the canopy etc.  Think Google Earth has found me a couple places to park for the night with no hastles but being the first time roughing it if anyone has some recon on somewhere that I can just park and not be harrased PM me.  Just need a place to park set up my little bbq and lawn chair for the night. Camp fire is a bonus but no biggie if would not work...

Then I am trying to expand my fishing world and would like to spend the high tide times fishing for sea bass, perch or what ever will bite and tastes good.  Google is not much help for this area.  Ton of Westport info - here not so much.  I did see one small jetty that might be good in Port Gamble but access looked dicey.  So looking for pointers on when where and how again PM me. 

Thanks

There’s places in the woods north of hood canal bridge
Sandy Shore lake
Tarboo lake
Some state land on the Coyle peninsula
There’s a state park close by Kitsap memorial paid campsites but safe and chill
Fishing wise
Rocks and Kelp beds towards Indian Island and south of the bridge check the regs
Decent boat ramp at Salisbury pt county park
Be careful thieves and scumbags are everywhere these days

Clearwater Casino has an RV Park.

Point no point up by Hansville has excellent shore fishing but I'm not sure what the law allows this time of year.  Maybe sea run cutthroat?

Hate to break it to you but what you desire you won't really find along the canal in Kitsap Co.

Crabbing most likely won't be open. Typically opens July 1.
You can't retain bottom fish besides flounder. Salmon won't be open. Some cutthroat but you can't keep them.
Most all the shoreline that's not a designated park is private.

Either go farther west towards neah bay .

Or wait till maybe August when coho start running and you can crab in the shallows.
