#209357 - 09/04/03 03:45 PM Looking for a good place to fish in the Sound
JacobF Spawner Registered: 01/03/01 Posts: 797 Loc: Post Falls, ID	Now that the Redondo boat launch is closed for a while, I'm looking for a place to fish around the Seattle area. Is Elliot Bay doing good now or how about around Alkai Point? With gas prices the way they are, I don't want to have to run too far. Any input would be appreciated.

DUROBOAT15 Spawner Registered: 09/08/02 Posts: 812 Loc: des moines	Easys right when I got to Redondo last evening there was only 1 boat there and it was one of the rental boats from Pt defiance. Had a half dozen boats show up while I was there and they all came from Tacoma. _________________________ Chinook are the Best all else pale in comparison!!!!!

Easy Limits River Nutrients Registered: 05/06/01 Posts: 2959 Loc: Nisqually	I guess if I really get the urge to launch I will go to Pt D. I just have a hard time coughing up $10 to launch. _________________________ Carl C.

FishCatcher Juvenile at Sea Registered: 04/17/01 Posts: 178 Loc: Lacey, WA	$20 to launch at Point Defiance? You got to be kidding. I have not launched there in a couple years. $10 is even steep. Would not be worth fishing for $20. Launched at Redondo last friday, it was reasonably priced. I did not notice if there was anything about how long that ramp will be closed. Does anyone know?

Little Fish Spawner Registered: 09/28/01 Posts: 965 Loc: Seattle, Washington	I read somewhere Redondo would be closed the for approximately 1 year. As for places to go. I'd focus my efforts on humpy hollow (for pinks) and Westpoint/Meadwo for silvers.
