Westport jetty alert for 7/19 thru 7/22 possible Southerly flow

I fished the jetty starting about 6am. I walked a little ways past the horn (fog horn) until the rocks became almost completely covered in bird crap and so slick you couldn't walk. I fished my way back but didn't have all that many bites. Last time I didn't venture nearly as far but caught more fish. This time I did get a much bigger fish though.

Nice fish!

I went back to Bellingham for Sunday fishing and found the tide was too low to launch at Birch Bay. I ended up driving around to Blaine and launching there. My buddy and I caught several dogfish but nothing else. The fish checker at the docks said no had brought anything in yet. Still too early in the year. We had fun pulling in doubles of dog fish several times and got to play with some bigger fish.

I like going out of Birch Bay alot.  Never had a problem with low tide - i just put the yak on wheels and drag it out.  The area is not great for bottomfish as there's no real structure around there, but I bounce those small Berkely Ghost Shrimp in the 25-40' range on 1/2oz to 1oz jig heads and do well with the flatfish.  Love those starrys.  I like catching the dogfish as well.  They're not too nice to look at, but the bigger ones pull out the drag and put up a pretty good fight.  Looking forward to Aug/Sept when there will hopefully be more salmon in the area.  We should go out!  I fish 2-3 times a week when I'm in Bellingham.
