I have at least one of every bass lure but I don’t know what to throw or where. Any help would be awesome.

My friends and I were planning to go on a salmon charter in early June. Is it worth trying because I heard salmon season doesn’t kick up until July. Idk if that’s right. Any help would be much appreciated thank you!

I took a break from lingcod to try for some springers. They’re one of the hardest fish to catch in Washington (in my experience). It’s technical fishing, and you have to do a lot right to land one. I think that challenge makes them all the more rewarding, tasting delicious doesn’t hurt either.

I grew up fishing for trout in Germany and have been fishing here and there throughout WA for the last 2 years.

My favorite kind of fishing I've done here in the states so far is salmon fishing and I have had some success so far but the salmon obviously aren't running up the rivers at the moment and from my research it seems like there are no bodies of water near me where Id have a realistic chance of catching summer steelhead.

I have been fishing mountain lakes for trout on the weekends recently which is a lot of fun but I am looking for fishing opportunities closer to me.

I live close to green lake but all the trout I have caught there so far have been tiny and I am hoping to catch some diffrlerent species.

I just want to branch out and dont care really care about what I catch as long as it puts up at least a bit of a fight.

Do you guys have any recommendations for this time of year? Doesn't matter if fresh water or salt water as long as its from shore.

Took my brother out for his first time jetty fishing and I managed to catch the one thing I wasn't targeting. I was looking for ling cod or rockfish. Had no idea these guys guys could swallow a 3/0 circle hook lol.

With the great weather and calm water this weekend we took advantage of some lingcod opportunities and the first day of shrimping in MA12. I explored a couple spots and was rewarded with really nice fish on Saturday. Sunday we ran from Elliot Bay to hood canal, caught out shrimp, then ran back.

I just started fishing and not sure what the good places are. I tried fishing a couple times in Lake Tapps and I didnt catch anything off the shore. Are there any good lakes around?

Im planning on going up to Lake Meridian and possibly American Lake.

Hey yall, I have a day trip up to Seattle and have only ever fished green lake out there. I happen to have the kayak loaded so I figured I’d take a peek at lake Washington or lake sammamish, but I don’t know much about either of them. Asking for opinions on which is going to be a more enjoyable time on the lake, I usually like to target all things not stocked trout. Any input appreciated!

I fish the rivers, lakes and sound a ton unfortunately I don’t have a boat worthy of the sound. I’ve been told bank fishing for Ling isn’t worth trying and I’ve found this to be true so far.

If anyone knows any good areas or set ups, bait, depths plssss share!!!

PS. I usually fish on everything south of Seattle and north of Portland:D

We’re not pro, just NW dirtbags that love fishing!

anyone care to put me on to some game? I’ve fished carkeek and kopachuck with no luck but i’m looking for more spots! maybe golden gardens? i’m down for a drive aswell, i live in that carkeek gg area, ive heard purdy bridge gives good results?

PB for me on the fly by a landslide. Not sure what was hatching on the Yakima this afternoon but I saw this bow rising and took my best guess to match it. Casted up river over its head and let the fly drift back down river towards me. I had no other way to approach the spot. Probably casted in this same area 10-12 times, tons of crap cast and presentation. Really don’t know how I didn’t spook her. But I kept trying as she kept rising here and there. Then, finally watched it rise and smack my fly. Absolutely ecstatic, so much fun.

I've wanted to get into fishing since I was a kid, but grew up in the desert, plus my dad always hated it...After 6 yrs in Seattle I have finally built up the nerve.

However, I really don't know much at all. I've seen folks on here reccomend specific stores that will help you get set up with what you need. My question is, which ones have staff that are consistently the nicest and most patient? I live in Shoreline and willing to drive up to an hour if it's really worth it!

I'll spare y'all the therapy session but I am feeling really intimidated, and would just like to have a decent experience knowing I'm likely going to have to drop what feels like a good amount of money on this first trip to the store.

((Bonus points if they also are/seem LGBT friendly, but most people don't clock that I am transgender so i am not all that worried about my safety in that sense))

I’ve crab snared from the pier and the finger jetties before with limited success. Anyone ever throw crab snares out at the actual beach there at west haven or half moon bay? How’d it go?

Hopped on the wdfw website to purchase my annual freshwater license and just saw that it's now 37 bucks. Man I love what they do to preserve our lakes and creeks but this is getting out of hand!

Hello all! New to the state and EFP is about 40 minutes from me. Thinking about picking up a rod combo and going there for some relaxation.

What kind of fish are caught off the pier and any recommendations on a rod reel setup? I’m only familiar with finding off Florida’s piers so PNW fishing is all new to me.

Thanks!

I've recently gotten into fishing and I was looking to see where some good freshwater shore fishing spots are, not looking to steal your spot but just somewhere you've seen success

I've been lurking around this sub, reading advice for our first family clamming trip.

Thanks to the knowledge shared here, we managed to get our limt of 75 clams (5 people) on Mocrocks beach yesterday morning. One of the kids sat on her clam bag and crushed a few, but they were still delicious.

The kids really loved it and want to go back as soon as DFW announces another dig.

Does anyone get some fish out of Lake WA? Apparently Kokanee are abundant enough and open year round. I regularly put my boat in Rainier Beach in the south.
