I'm taking a buddy out on Saturday morning and would like to get him hooked up.

Anyone fished any of these three locations over the past few days? Shishole was hot last week, slowed down by last weekend, and I haven't heard how it's been this week.

Haven't heard anything on Mukilteo or Edmonds.

Got three Tues. 7-8lbs 65 - 85ft down between shipwreck and possession. first fish at 0800 and last two at 1100 before we called it quits because of other commitments. Lots of fish showing on the sounder!

We had a great day today at Edmonds. Fished a cut plug herring at 50 feet in 600 feet of water off the oil docks. Two of us brought seven fish to the boat . Two were over 14 lbs. All were nice fish. We launched at 9:00 and were having lunch at Anthonys by 12:30

I just doesn't get much better.

I've fished Mukilteo and Shilshole but haven't fished Edmonds. How far from the launch are these oil docks? I've got a small 13' smokercraft w/ a 15 HP Yamaha. It's got high sides and floats like a cork on the chop but I still try to be careful.

Saturday morning the weather supposed to be nice so that's good.

There is a sling at the Port of Edmonds. Usually looong lines.

Ahh, a sling eh? How far are the oil docks from the sling? And what time does the sling open?

Thanks!

the oil docks are about 1/2 mile to a mile south of edmonds. the sling opens at 7. get there about and hour early if you want to get at the front of the line.

Ok, last question. What do they charge to launch via the sling?

They charge me $22 to launch my 24' boat off a roller trailer (and another $5 to park for the day). I know the launch fee varies some, based on size of boat and type of trailer (bunk trailers are more expensive.

Sure it nice to be fishing 5 minutes after launch...

Info on launching at Edmonds can be found at http://www.portofedmonds.com

I saw somebody launch at the sling at 6 am on Wednesday, but the website currently says "Winter hours are: 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. 7 days a week". The costs are:

Round Trip $22.00
One Way $15.00
Bunk Trailers:
Round Trip $30.00
One Way $20.00
Parking for trucks and trailers is $5 a day.

Depending on where you are going, you can save money on fuel by launching close to your fishing spot and save the danger of running through wind and chop but it's still pricey as far as I'm concerned.

What a rip off! Edmonds sucks. Better off launching at Shilshole and running up(unless you're in a 12' boat).

Aaron...the run to Edmonds is 15 to 20 minutes from Shilshoe at 18-20 mph on flat water. If it gets rough I just hug the shoreline coming back which helps a little. I've had good luck this year fishing right out of Shilshoe, but will make the run north if I need to.

Yeah, that seems like a rediculous price to pay for a launch - $27.00. I've got a buddy coming tomorrow in a seperate car so it's going to cost us $32.00 total.

I'd launch at Shilshole and run up there but I'm in a little 13' aluminum that does 20 mph on a glass smooth lake when wide open.

Weather tomorrow is looking good....winds under 5mph slowing to 1-3mph. I'm launching at Alki then working my way north as necessary.
