Northwest Fishing Reports

Anyone starting their 2015 squidding yet?

I was a Lync's shop getting a license and he was saying people are reporting decent numbers at Edmonds Pier.

I also was curious about hours of piers. Is there somewhere online that states the hours of piers? Or is it pretty much based on knowing the pier and the hours. Was thinking about heading over to Edmonds to give it a shot as I've got a pretty un-eventful night ahead of me.

A couple years ago people were catching some in broad daylight when the coho were coming but not biting.

A few guys today got a few squid off dash point around eight pm and a little red octopus . they are there under docks just have to put in the time

saw my first squid of the season june 1st in the belly of my chinook. heard stories and seen internet pics of squid from the piers.

Saw some older asian couples catching squid this morning at dash point. I only saw them get two though and they were tiny.

yea at dash you have to work near the cleaning station some reason they that area i maybe for shelter or cuts the current down

Thats right where she caught them.

anyone know if theres a person that sales jigs on the edmonds peir still ??

I think I know who you are talking about - but I'm sure at this point he hasn't even shown up yet. But he will arrive around October(ish)....

The number of people squidding has been few (so far). Chinook catching... oh hell hooking into... off the Edmonds pier has been a major failure for those considering spending a day that consists of 1,001 casts from the Edmonds pier.

I bought two heavy punk jigs years ago from a person up north that sold jigs next to a huge generator but they was the best jigs I had for a long time and list them so was just trying to narrow down the piers I remember it was up north maybe even mukilteo

If it's who I think it is.... I've seen his jigs for sale at Ted's Sporting Goods (in the past). The guy makes them himself (or so he says). They do work pretty well.

Damn! Used to be a Nov-Dec thing, then a Sept thing... I saw a posting a couple weeks ago of squid success and my jaw hit the floor!

There is a summer run and winter run of squid. Grown ups come and lay eggs winter, babies out migrate in summer.

Good to know.

find them in fish stomachs year round, guess you can catch them any month of the year if you know where to look and what to use.

A buddy of mine was testing out his new light setup last night at the Edmonds pier and pulled in a few. They're there

Wow, that is awesome catch! What kind of technique/tackles did he use?

He was just jigging off the pier. We used to use my generator for light, but the engine was rebuilt last year and it ran really loud. Like insane jet engine loud. You couldn't even hear yourself think. He's been talking about building a new quite light set up for a while. This one is a marine battery with an ac/dc inverter and an LED light. No more gas, no loud noises. It's silent. Gear he used was a standard trout pole and the jigs are ones I got from Teds in Lynnwood, but are similar to the ones the guys sells on the pier during the winter run. You can find the jigs in Seattle at Linc's and Outdoor Emporium as well.

Got any pictures of his light set up???
I want to make one but having trouble figuring out the waterproof part.

I was thinking of using a car headlight and making a waterproof box that I can float it on the water with...
