Went to Seacrest Pier near Alki in West Seattle on Aug 5. Pier is just west of Salty's Restaurant along the waterfront. Good access, lots of parking, nice fishing pier.
Although it seemed early to be fishing for squid locally, there were fair numbers around. The squid were quite small 4-6", so smallest jigs seemed to work the best. I went home with about 20 for about 1 1/2 hours worth. Caught most of them on the "Puget Sound Squid Teaser" jig, although would have done better with one a little smaller. I think I will work on a smaller design for this series. My daugher was with me on this trip, she was trying to catch herring with some of my Sabiki Rigs, but hookup with with some squid instead.
I brought my own light down 250Watt High Pressure Sodium floodlight, marine batteries, and power inverter. REALLY works well for drawing in the squid.
I went last night Aug 7 to Les Davis Pier in Tacoma. Only caught two squid, didn't appear to be much around there. Brought my son with me, had him rigged up with some of my Sabiki Rigs, and he had a blast jerking in lots of herring.
Another guy on the pier was shark fishing, he caught about a 6' Six Gill Shark, brought it in, took some pictures and let it go.
