South Sound Meetup

Garret , steamboat is. Area , olympia.looking for reasons to go , instead of not.....about as south sound as it gets.not quite geared up for off shore....but working on it.

Charlie...weekends...longbranch, key peninsula...

How is the fishing down South out there?  I have gone to dig clams and grab some oysters at Penrose State Park, but never bothered to take my kayak out there.  Where do you launch and fish out there?  My mother-in-law lives at Lake Bay or Bay Lake and tells me I should take my kayak out there to catch some salmon.  I live in Edmonds and like to try other locations in the South Sound. 




 

I know this post is a little dated but its a place to start.
Just moved to Olympia a month ago. I stopped paddling in 2009 and sold all my yaks. Looking to get back into it. So who is in the south sound?

This guy. I'm in Lacey, and get out on the regular.

Spencer! Wedged in unincorporated Pierce County's armpit we call Spanaway, or is it Fredrickson this week...
Anyhow, looking to get out around Neah Bay, Wilapa Bay, Grays harbor, Westport, lower Big C, anywhere someone can point me towards decent salmon fishing and getting out safely. I've done Hoodsport the last few falls and had a BLAST from my Yak with big fish on the line. I'd like to give it a shot with fish other than chum though. Just need a helping hand or advice. I usually have 4 day weekends on a rotation and I'm willing to drive about anywhere on the west side of the state..

Reboot for this thread....im in gig harbor and get out just about every weekend. Gave a 4 day coming up and wanna get out in the salt. Any ideas? Hoping for some coho.  But willing to try anything.  Slaying bass and trout is fun but i need some salmon in the freeze!

Taken a shot at having a get-together before, we had a small one early this summer in north Seattle, but haven't had much response in the southern area.

Here's a link to the post made in September.  Also, keep an eye out for upcoming group events such as hunting the chums by Hoodsport.

Howdy, Matt.  Several of us in Da Harbor...

Speaking of which, Blake Merwin now has a beer&wine licence at the Gig Harbor Fly Shop, so maybe that would be a great meetup spot.

Nice.  Gig Harbor is already one of our favorite places to moor overnight and bar hop.
