Hey guys its been a while! my comp has a virus so I haven't been able to post. I will let you guys know that pier 69 Nd 86 has been great! been getting about 4 to 6 pounds a night. however I want more than a bunch of small squid. can someone help me out with getting to the pier off of Kingston? I would love to try tonight if someone wants to meet me down there. for exchange I will guide a trip here in seattle. that way both of us get to learn something new!

Im not sure what my night will end up looking like, but i will more than likely put in a couple of hours tonight at Kingston.
Kingston has been consistently producing medium to large squid the last few times Ive been there.
one thing you should remember is if the tide is lower don't expect to find many squid under the lights. i was there last night till 7 and this was the case.
As you are walking down the pier the far left corner is the deepest part and will consistently hold squid even at the lowest of tides.
the only downside is off that corner you are fishing in the dark, if you have lights of any kind to bring i would recommend that.
the dock however has no power source for lights so you would need battery powered lights or generator.
that being said, i do just fine without any light source of my own. the high tide tonight is near midnight i believe.
the other issue that might be worth consideration is the ferry schedule.
if you are coming from the Seattle side and planing on taking the ferry, they don't run all night.
the latest boat leaving Kingston according to the schedule i have is an 11pm, and the earliest is 4:55am.
So depending on what time of night you wanted to fish you could end up stranded for a bit.
