Northwest Fishing Reports

Going camping at Deception Pass State Park next weekend July 10 - 13. What kind of fish can one target saltwater fishing from the bank? Is it still to early yet to try for salmon from the bank? Has anybody had any luck with throwing out a crab ring at all there? I am gonna fish the lake there also, was just wondering whats in the salt, possibly give that a try also.

Try chucking a #3 pink Buzz Bomb from shore, out going tide only.

its tough to catch anything saltwater their because u=its too shallow but I've heard people get surf perch off of the beach. as for the lake the trout fishing can be very good but the water is going to be way too warm so your best bet will be fishing at sunrise and sunset or during the night. it would also be worth trying for bass around logs/weeds. toss a worm and a bobber out their.

IF IT IS OPEN FOR SALTWATER FISHING . TOSS SOME 5-6" WHITE CURLYTAIL GRUBS ON A 1 OZ OR LARGER JIG DURING TIDE CHANGE FROM THE BEACH NEAR THE BRIDGE. CAST AS FAR OUT AS YOU CAN AND JIG THE BOTTOM. I'VE CAUGHT MANY NICE CABAZON'S AND LINGCOD FROM THAT BEACH. CRANBERRY WILL GET YOU SOME TROUT. I'VE ALWAYS CAUGHT SOME USING "PANTHER MARTIN SPINNERS" BE SURE TO HAVE A SUPPLY OF THE JIGS AS THEY CAN HANG UP/ 15-20LB LINE. HAVE HAD SOME BIG LINGS BREAK OFF ON THE 20LB.

Not going to Deception Pass this weekend after all. Some additional family members wanted to go camping also and no other sites left. Still would like to go up there and camp sometime. When is a good time to salmon fish from shore at Deception Pass State Park?

Great place for frogs....I catch them with a fairly stiff 9 ft rod and flies...fun at night with a flashlite in the lily pads...great eating... fry after dipping in eggwash and seasoned flour.....use butter about 1/4" deep in cast iron pan... OH BOY!!!

go during late august or September and target the humpies that will be running through their thick.

Lots of humpsters will be moving through the pass in August & early September. On a flood tide the fish are often out of casting range but on the ebb they are tight to the beach trying to stay out of the heavy current. Use a 2 or a 3L as the bigger heavier buzz bombs hang up on bottom and the kelp.
