New to the Sport, and new to Oly, WA.

My family and I just moved to Oly from Colorado.  I have always had an interest in yak fishing since I saw folks doing it in HI.  I picked up a ocean kayak prowler 13 and have it pretty well geared up.  I have been successful with flounder, ling and rockfish so far, but I am looking forward to the salmon run this year and would love to give Halibut a try.  I am always looking for somebody to go fishing with and I am willing to do the driving.

Welcome to the addiction! I'm right up the road in Lakewood and fish many of the surrounding lakes rivers and Sound at least a couple times per week

Welcome to the forum. I hope to get up to the sound this year as well and I'd really like to try for halibut.

Welcome Beaumontmr!  I'm in Lacey and try to get out at least once a week and try to make it a habit to post outings in the Washington forum.  Enjoy the forum, tons of info here. 

Welcome to Oly.
Shoot me a pm, I'd be happy to get on the water with ya.

Welcome! I am up in Tacoma near Pt. Defiance. When the fish are in let's hit up the claybanks at Pt. Defiance or over at Quartermaster Harbor for some salmon. You picked a hell of a year to move here - the pink salmon run this year and they are a lot of fun to catch at Browns Point or at the mouth of the Puyallup river. 6 million fish are supposed to return this year. Not as good eating as king or coho but fun to catch and they smoke well. Hopefully we get some fish showing up because right now it slow...For salmon at least. Feel free to write me and we'll go.

Thanks for all the invites! I will definately be taking you up on them.  I went to the mouth of the Nisqually today.  The tide was just starting to come in.  On my way out, I saw a ton of flounder and sole.  Some were very good size (close to 20 inches).  They were very boat shy.  I only managed to boat one fish using a slide sinker, jig head and 3" white-pearl gulp.  I have had a lot of luck with that rig in the past but today was very slow.  It was still a good day on the water. 

Welcome to the area and the sport!

I am here in Oly in on the Westside.  Hope to hook up with you on the water soon!

Tight Lines!
