Picnic point pinks anyone?

I'm thinking about trying Picnic Point for pinks in the next week or two.  I have fished there for years in a power boat with great success but never tried from the kayak.  It looks like an easy enough launch point with the kayak on wheels even though the beach is some distance from the parking lot over the bridge and the railroad tracks.

Edmonds and Mukilteo probably have closer launch points but from experience I know Picnic Point is much better fishing.  Once launched on the beach the fishing gets good within a hundred yards or so and there's probably no reason to go more than half a mile from the launch point.

Anyone tried it?  I would like to know how well it works launching there and getting everything to the waters edge.

I would like partners if anyone wants to go.  I can do weekends or sometimes weekdays when I can sneak out of work for a morning or whole day.  I probably have enough of the right gear for multiple people.

I'm an adequate paddler at best.  I live on Lake Union and probably have 200 hours on the lake in my OK Prowler but none in the salt.  I was at Picnic Point on Sunday and the water was flat as a pancake though that is not always the case.

Hi Bill. I would love to join you and I've been eyeballing Picnic Point too. I can't this weekend as I'll be camping in Levenworth with the family but I'd good most weekends and could probably swing a quick morning trip before work or take 1/2 day for mental health purposes.

Send me a message and lets set something up. Do you live in Bothell as your name implys or on Lake Union?

I'm new to kayak fishing & fishing the sound for salmon. I'm still working on my first salmon. I've been paddling and fishing from a canoe for fish for years so I'm an adequate paddler. The canoe just got too damn heavy:) I definetly have a lot to learn but I've been out on the sound 3 times now and I'm 90% geared up for the conditions and the pinks. The only thing is that I don't have wheels for my yak so it may take me awhile to get my gear down to the launch site.
