Tacoma kayak fishing?

New to Kayak fishing and looking for someone to hit the water with. Live in Tacoma but am willing to drive to another area if needed. Excited to hit the sound or rivers!

Im hittin american lake sunday for a bit. Gonna get there around 1030 do some trout fishing. Im still pretyy new to kayak fishing also

I have Church Sunday but would love to hit the water some other time! Let me know how you did. Thanks

Snd me a PM. We will figure so,ething out that works for the both of us.

   It pleases me immensely that you both are sticking to the lakes for your 1st few trips out.

   That allows you to get used to your boats , how they handle,a and how you handle them, especially when you have a pole in your hands Good on both of you.

   Salt water with all of it's mysteries and appeal is much more comfortable and safer when you know your boat and yourself together.

  Have fun on the lakes for awhile.

   ORC is coming.

Mark I just dont know where to fish in the salt around here and dont know enough people to go outnwith. Only wanna go in the sound with someone who knows the area. Better safe than sorry

  In time grasshopper------in time.

  We have a lot of great people not far from Tacoma. Keep fishing and they will come.
  In the meantime just keep on getting out there catching fish.
  The addiction will grow for you as it has for most of us.

  And you can take that to the bank.

Hayday,
I live on McChord and fish the local Sound fairly regularly...was out on Toliva Shoal this AM after Ling Cod but could only manage 7 of those "endangered" Rockfish (released of course). I'd be happy to take you out and show you around the Nisqually Delta or some of the flats around Chambers Creek next weekend if you'd like...you can catch flounder out there till your arms fall off and it's a pretty easy intro to Sound fishing. Those Deltas are also great Crab fisheries and the Salmon action heats up around August.
I fish American pretty often too and would have joined you tomorrow but I leave for a quick TDY tomorrow through most of this week. I'll PM you when I'm back in town and see if you're up for something this weekend.

If you guys do chambers creek, I may join you for a pile of halibut bait.

Ha, that's funny!...exactly what I did this AM on the way back from Toliva Shoal. It was windy and in the same direction as the ebb tide so the drift was wicked fast making it hard to stay over a school but I still got a decent pile!

I'd be up for doing it again next week.

I'd recommend the flounder fishing. It is a lot of fun.

Sounds great nangus. My daughters  birthdayis next weekend so cant do it then. Let me know would love to explore wa more than what i have

Back home in florida we just go giggin for flounder. Never really targeted them while fishing. Caught them out of luck on a pole

Hello from North Puget Sound.  When the weather gets warmer  you may want to go to a warm lake with just your kayak and tip it close to shore and get back onto it for practice just in case.   YouTube has some videos on that so if it does happen you won't panic and be able to do it.  Take a dip in the Sound and you will realize why people drown in cold water. If you are in Edmonds email me and I will hook up and show you around the area.  Be safe!

Yeah man, almost that time!!!

Hayday: Our flounder up here are far different than what you fished back east. The starry flounder make great table fare and can be a blast to catch using light gear! Sole/sand dabs aren't bad eating, but they yield very little meat for their size. They make great bait though!
