7/8/2010 12:21:00 AMOh man, Elijah! A 5 star fishing day... multiple species, new species to you... and some cutties give you the butt slap! OK, I guess there were a few jerks in there too. You know how to have a good time on the dock!

7/8/2010 5:29:00 AMI would have to say that would be annoying to me as well. sounds like some tough but fun fishing. You should have hollered at them that might have made another story for another time. :) Sorry for the rude people thats just uncalled for.

7/8/2010 11:30:00 AMI know how you feel. That happenes to me almost every time i catch a fish on a dock full of kids. Just have to ingor them. Great job on the fish too! I really have to go there soon. Its just really inconvenient to drive from tacoma all the way to log boom park, which is way up there in seattle!

7/8/2010 8:43:00 PMI grew up fishing log boom every day in the summer with my grandpa, it's pretty much where I learned to love fishing, and have caught more stuff off that dock than I can remember, but one thats burned into my mind is a 6lb largemouth I caught when I got bored and started casting and retrieving my perch set up (sliding egg sinker to a bait holder hook with a red wiggler worm) We also use to catch 1-2 grass carp a year, some pan fish, and LOTS of perch. Even caught a few crawdads and trout.
There use to be a Heron that would sit a few feet away from us and beg for fish.
You're a lot braver than I am now though. I drive by the dock on my way to work, and you could hardly see the dock today through all the bodies on it! Bunch of kids swimming and sun bathing, even a boat tied up. I'm glad I have a boat now, and don't have to fight with those crowds, cause I know how you feel with all the rude kids, and snoopy people. I can't believe they were going through your tackle box though! I would have had to have some words with someone if they did that to me!
Great report though, keep 'em coming!

7/10/2010 6:51:00 AMi'm kinda confused ... the only Log Boom Park that i know of is in Kenmore but i see people talking about putting in at Gene Coulan park to go fishing at "log boom park " ...... is there another Log Boom Park in the Renton/Newcastle area that i can't find on the map???
Elijah.Loves.Fishin
7/10/2010 5:31:00 PM@ fishnfool, coulon has a boat launch but log boom does not, so my only guess is that they are launching at coulon then boating over to log boom.. however, boat's aren't allowed to fish close to the docks from what i hear. but yes, log boom park is in kenmore. @ blackknight, just type in log boom park into google and click on maps, it'll take you right to it :)

7/10/2010 5:37:00 PMI found it Elijah me and my girl will see you there next week. I hear you about rude people. Do not let that discourage you, keep on fishing. I and my girl are Black come say hello and we will catch some Bluegill with you.
Some folks think they know how to fish. They may but be pleasant to your fellow fisherman. I let a guy use some bait the other day and i always have more than i need. He asked another guy and he said no. I went to school with this guy i loaned the bait to. went back later and he gave me some fish he had caught. what goes down comes around. Techniques are a secret patience is the best.

10/12/2020 3:34:43 PMHey nice to see logboom still has some bass (I've seen to many people eaten em) I don't mean to throw shade but You don't have to kill pikeminnow they are invasive but they don't do any harm to the "native" fish. Keep in mind bass and common carp are not native to WA. When the grow there real fun to catch.
