Title: Edmonds Pier
Post by: C-Money on February 21, 2022, 09:07:08 AM: Well, I survived the trip to N Seattle for my son's Can-Am hockey tournament. We stayed near the Edmonds Pier. Saw a few blackmouth fishermen giving it a try, nothing caught. A guy bottom fishing with bait was getting a few bites, and I watched him land a nice size perch. I think it would be a fun time to toss out some bait on one rod and fish salmon on another. Anyone fish down at this pier? Really enjoyed the trip, much needed time by the salt.

It’s usually huge with the squiders

A few of those perch would surely be great fun! I will gladly check the regs and appreciate the info on the number of rods... One day, I'll go give it a try!

They aren't picky, shrimp will work fine. Squid stays on the hook better and it works as well. Small spoons work great too.

:yeah:

Or use clam necks, they also stay on the hook well.

One pole per person on any marine water. Including marine water connected fresh water. Lake Washington is one of those. You CAN however, have crab gear on one pole and be fishing on another.
