Smelt & Herring Jigging - Coronet Bay & Oak Harbor

If you are wanting something to do when you have a few hours to kill you just might want to do a little smelt and herring jigging at Coronet Bay or Oak Harbor. We have had some fair reports from both places recently. This is a winter pastime for many of us here in North Puget Sound. A few hours spent fishing smelt on a nice winter day (like those we have had recently) make for a nice outing for the family, not to mention a "Great" meal for those that have been successful. If you fish Coronet Bay make sure that you have your "Discovery Pass" as this is a state park! You don't want a citation! Oak Harbor is a city marina and they are very nice about the parking as well as accomidating anglers on the public pier. If you have any questions just stop by and I'll be glad to fill you in on what you'll need etc.
