Top Beaches for Puget Sound Salmon

Top Beaches for Puget Sound Salmon
Beach fishing is one of my favorite things to do in the late summer and fall before the rains push all the fish up river. This video breaks down some of the options for both North and South Puget Sound anglers. Hope you can get out and enjoy this great year on the water.

bro thanks to u i got my first salmon

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

That’s so awesome! Way to go! So glad I could be a little part in that

[@kcreameans]

Nicely Done

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thank you sir!

[@xzaviuraurai]

Thx man, I'm new to fishing and your videos have been fantastic stuff. 💯

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

So glad to hear! Thank you for watching and the support

[@bobgomavitz1330]

Contrast on your subscriber goal! I’ve learned quite a bit of info watching your vids the last 7 years and it’s really helped me progress a local angler. Your versatility of knowledge of so many different species is exactly what I needed. I’ve refined much of what learned from you! So happy for you Rick on achieving this goal. Now let’s double that number!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thank you very much sir! I am hoping that this keeps growing and catching traction. There is a bunch to still cover. Anything you would like to see upcoming? Always appreciate your support

The Dash Point pier is closed for safety but the cool part is this summer the WDFW released an emergency rule lifting the 100 yard barrier around the pier so you can beach fish at dash. It's been a very productive beach this year

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Appreciate the info!

[@Ricksimon13]

Great vid! Thanks!

A good place to target now are some of the tidal rivers, the pinks are still silver with sea lice. I have been killing it with the all pink jig I got from you and limiting out every time. Coho and Kings are there as well. That rain has really helped out, they can smell their spawning grounds.✌

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

That’s awesome! Thank you for the support. Tidal waters are absolutely a great spot to be right now

[@titandino]

Which tidal rivers are you talking about? All the significant northern rivers are closed until the 16th.

[@mo1122585]

@@titandino the Duwamish and Snohomish just opened on the 1st . I have been limiting out on the Duwamish every time I go, including this morning. ✌🏾

[@titandino]

@@mo1122585 dude these clowns with their emergency changes. You're right. Thank you sir. I'm like 5 minutes from Snohomish river and have been waiting for it to open haha

[@BilboSandbaggins]

What about the Snohomish?

[@masamunesword]

Heads up if you want to fish Fort Casey: There's two different protected areas there that you can't fish: On the south facing shore by the Keystone jetty is the Keystone Conservation area that goes from the east side of the jetty to the eastern most row of pilings by the old military wharf. Then on the west facing shore, there's the Admiralty Head Marine Preserve which starts roughly at the northern part of the main fort and battery and continues north until about the conference center.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Greatly appreciate that information! Thank you!

Can the 10:43 beach fishing allow Plunking fishing for Coho or Chinook salmon? I wish to know more where I can go to the bank of Columbia River for plunking. Do WDF have information about plunking salmon for Columbia River for bank or beach ?

[@BenMargolius]

Awesome videos! Haven’t been able to find pink buzz bombs anywhere here in Seattle, any chance you’ll get ‘em back in stock any time soon?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Going back up on the site today! Went down with a nasty cold last two days finally on the upswing

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thanks you for the support!

[@jjgu5922]

Dash point pier is closed but you can fish from the beach. Wader recommended as the beach is kinda flat.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Appreciate the info! Definitely a reminder to always confirm regs before heading out. Appreciate your support and watching!

[@jessetharp6319]

You talk about timing the tides a lot. Do you mean being out there as the tide is coming in to catch the fish being pushed in close? Or high/low slack? Or…? Thanks for the video!

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Thank you for watching! Yes is the short answer to your question. I have always had best luck timing when the tide is coming in which pushes bait and fish closer to shore. A lot of that as well is having moving water. The hour before and after both high and low slack are moving the fish and having them active. Slack tide (doesn’t mean you can’t catch) but typically that’s when you get stuck with a lot of debris and can be frustrating.

[@jessetharp6319]

@@HolyMolyOutdoors thanks!

[@mattdavis822]

Im heading out now to go pink fishing

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Awesome!! Go get em!!

[@SeanOrfila]

Check the map on Fort Casey, the spot on the map is actually a protected area. Wdfw is patrolling regularly!

[@jgutierrez6882]

How much longer do pinks stay in the puget sound?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

With as many as we have right now and lack of rain. I’d bet at least one more week then they will significantly taper off

[@104thebigguy6]

Lincoln park is a long, long walk. Through the forest, down a massive hill to the beach then carrying all gear and fish up hill. Not suggested for people out of shape.

[@micahgelfand8282]

There's the closer lower lot if you can find a spot. But yeah it's a hike either way

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Definitely can be a long walk no doubt. Hard to deny though the popularity of the spot due to the success off the beach. Thanks for watching and the support

[@BilboSandbaggins]

It’s better to go at low tide or high tide?

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Traditionally an hour before and after high tides were the rule of thumb I always went off of. However this year I started fishing that hour before or after the low as well and still caught fish. Seems having the tide moving has been the key to success

[@jesseseely489]

Been rolling in fish everyday at bush point

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Heck yeah!!!

[@titandino]

Yeah Lagoon Point and Bush Point have been my most successful spots by a straight up landslide. Tuesday at Lagoon Point my friends and I caught 60+ fish between the three of us in a single tide. I also have pulled a 13.5 lb hatchery Coho and a 10 lb hatchery Coho out of there this week. Absolute blast.

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

@@titandino fantastic! Well done! Thanks for watching and the support

[@titandino]

@@HolyMolyOutdoors Yeah! Appreciate the content. Hope to see you out there sometime. Always awesome to support fellow Christian fishermen. God bless.

[@SeanOrfila]

Bush has significantly slowed after Labor Day. It’s getting tough, pinks seem to have moved on after that rain and thunderstorms

[@NunyaBizniz]

Redondo pier has been closed for a few years

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Appreciate the information!

[@angelasummerfield4128]

What does it mean to “get ahead of the tides?”

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

My reasoning was to be planning ahead of when you need to be at the specific beach. Some fish better than others at different tide as and being able to get there ahead of the peak time allows for beating the crowds as well as being ready for the fish

[@dreamin_in_color3728]

Are you on tic tok? There’s lots of fishermen on that app 🎣🐟

[@HolyMolyOutdoors]

Nah haven’t really tried that yet.
