Survey For Seattle-area Squid Fisherman

[abaines]

I'm currently working on a study that includes a survey of anyone and everyone who might fish for squid off of the piers in downtown Seattle (though opinions from those who fish in Elliott Bay in general would be appreciated as well!). Below are some of the questions we've been asking bait shop owners and city workers to get an idea of the level of fishing activity that occurs in the area.

• Have you ever fished for squid in Elliott Bay?
  
  
• If so, what months and how often?
  
  
• Are there other locations that are better than Elliott Bay for squid fishing?
  
  
• If so, why are these other locations better?
  
  
• Do you ever fish in Elliott Bay for other species (i.e. perch, bass, salmon)?
  
  
• If so, what months and how often?
  
  
• Would you like to see enhancements along the waterfront in Seattle to promote more fishing opportunities?
  
  

If anyone has any thoughts or responses to these questions, or any comments in general on the fishing situation for the Seattle waterfront, please feel free to message me! We're trying to make sure as many people's opinions are represented in this study as possible, so don't be shy.



Thank you!
