Salmon Fishing at Lincoln Park

Justin Carder, not catching anything

Pink salmon are returning from the ocean to spawn, as they do every other year, and they are numerous. This morning I hitched a ride with CHS fishing specialist Justin Carder to West Seattle Blog's neighborhood, to the beach at Lincoln Park.

The sun was shining, a few boats drifted by with poles off the stern. We were 15 minutes from downtown Seattle.

About a dozen fishermen lined the shore, and about two dozen fish were caught in the two hours I was there. The daily limit is two salmon, with an additional two pink allowed, but Carder finessed only some seaweed on this trip. A recent transplant from Michigan collected two pinks, another guy had three by the time I left.
