Yeah. I’ve fished long lake so far, no luck on the trout there. Still trying to figure it out.
I’m a little intrigued by ward lake and their Kokanee. Never caught salmon before. The idea of artificial baits though kind of turn me off. I have never had much luck with them.
However, I also feel like I need to become a big boy someday. Lol

Never fished there. Nawatzel and Offut are good for trout, I really like Nawatzel. F5 Rapala rainbow or orange flavor and roostertails, black or white, flat lined trolling has produced tons of trout.

The traditional bait for Kokanee is corn w/ tuna oil, a natural bait

Standard koke gear is a 4" ish dodger with a hoochie, spinner, spoon etc behind tipped with said corn. I imagine the fish are going deeper with warming temps

It's slow fishing but they're in there. I caught a few for halibut bait back in May / June. They're pretty much 25' down year-round in there. If you're really wanting to catch a salmon I'd recommend the resident Coho in deep South Sound. Launching at Arcadia and fishing in Hammersly around Cape Horn on the flood is usually good, just mind the tides - it RIPS through there. The Coho area 12-18", super easy to find and catch, and are really good to eat.

I would but I don’t trust neither my current kyak nor my skills in the ocean just yet. Thank you for the tip though.

I saw Seabeck listed in South Sound, does Bremerton count?

You sure the map you were looking at didn't say " here be dragons" ?
