Another great spring summer fall fishery i spent 25 years growing up and fishing shilshoal bay and carkeek park and west point i have also caught lots of perch and some unusual fish like a few pacific cod and black fish
I've always been Leary about bringing a Sand Dab or Starry Flounder home for the dinner plate due to the amount of worms visible on the white underbelly. I know pretty much ALL bottom fish and most of all fish have worms and parasites in them but maybe just seeing them keeps me from bringing them home. It'd be nice to bring home a few of these since other fisheries such as Lingcod and Halibut are so limited (Halibut season is a joke BTW). Any insight for keepers/eaters on these or what to look for, keep ones with the fewest amount of parasites visible? I mainly fish off the San Juans/Area 7. Nice Video though!
JBsteelie gotta go west in the strait past Sequim and even the Dungeness river mouth for the best Halibut fishing. The best fish are kept jsyk which is why there's so many worm ridden ones.

what is the specs on the spinner set up?
what do you look for in location for these?
sand
I think Ratfish look cool...... I've caught them trolling herring on the down rigger........ Definitely better than a Dogfish/ sand shark.
Where was this? Location please.
Puget Sound, near Seattle
Careful with the puget sound sharks yall. The 6gill cannot be removed from the water. Tight lines everyone
Those sand dabs are huge compared to California's
Mike Ainsworth is the sand dab king!
all of the sand dabs i get they all have worms i fish off hat island for em
polar bear18 almost all the ones with little to no worms are kept which is why the worm and lice plagued ones are released.
i'm sorry but those aren't big. maybe by todays standards, with the puget sound being so overfished & overpolluted...
These are today's standards. Thank you for watching.
Jeezus some people don’t know a damn thing about fishing. Sanddabs do not get my bigger.
