Set out to catch some flounders or soles, but some how the area is infested with dogfish. but still it was a fun day to be out on the water and getting some. For the kayak angler, there’s no better place to target pink salmon than the puget sound, for several reasons. one, pinks are not difficult to catch as they hold close to the shoreline in waters less than 40’ deep, foraging as they move into and through the puget sound heading for their native rivers.. Puget sound. puget sound saltwater; puget sound rivers; olympic peninsula. kayak fishing. after several years of pounding the beaches around gig harbor we got turned onto fishing kayaks. when we brought these into inventory at the fly shop we had no idea that they would have been as popular as they are and would have impacted our business.
My biggest puget sound fish last year from my kayak was a 26.5 lb elliott bay king. let me know if you want to go out sometime. as polepole mentioned in another thread, you might be able to get a loaner kayak for him to try it out in exchange for some fishing expertise.. Just wanted to share my install of a downrigger on my wavewalk kayak. downriggers are used a lot out here in fishing the lakes for kokanee (land locked sockeye salmon) and in puget sound when targeting salmon.. Alki kayak tours is a good starting point for beginners. you can rent kayaks and they offer sea kayaking and rescue and recovery classes taught by certified aca trainers. they also have daily tours guiding people around puget sound. “it’s a great place for new paddlers to begin their journey,” says amanda lee, alki kayak tours guide..
