Beach Fishing - Whidbey Island

The beach fishery for pinks on the Whidbey beaches has gone into full swing this week. We have been hearing "Good" reports from most everyone coming back from the Island. If you are wanting something to do this weekend a trip to the Island just might be it. As usual a pink Buzz Bomb or Wannabee (My Preference) is the lure of choice to be pitching at the Humpies. Make sure that you use a single barbless hook as the WDFW boys have been checking. To keep your fish in outstanding shape for the table make sure that you bleed them immediately after landing and get them gutted and iced promptly. Taking good care of your catch will make for outstanding table fare no matter if they are going on the BBQ or into the smoker.

If you are not familiar with the Whidbey beach fishery stop by and we'll be glad to fill you in on the particulars. We have "Lots" of gear on had for the pink season.
