Title: Neah Bay Jetty?
Post by: TeacherMan on July 09, 2023, 10:50:26 PM: As a kid I grew up fishing Neah Bay every year. I never saw anyone fishing off the jetty. We would take our boat around to the outside and cast for black bass there and do good. I always wondered why people don’t fish it from shore? And if you’re not allowed to fish from shore could you launch a kayak off the jetty and just fish along the kelp beds with it?

Thanks in advanced 🤙🏻

I've seen a few kayak guys this year fishing...just watch out for all us big boat jerks... :chuckle: And Obviously weather dependant. I guess it's possible to hook into a couple casting, but it's pretty shallow right off the rocks
And it's a long long walk out to Waadah island.

Or you could holler at me if u ever want a boat ride. I may or may not spend allot of time out there.. :o

You'll have to swing into big salmon and buy the makah rec pass. As far as I know there's no issues fishing from the beach... just follow the state regs.

Haven't been out there in years but you were supposed to buy a combo license for parking on the Rez and a Makah fishing license. I bought mine at their large grocery store.
