Edmonds Forecast
"I Been Fishin' Longer Than You" Report
May 19, 2026Day 1-3: Rain, rain, go away! And take the fish with ya. Stay inside and yell at squirrels. Better than nothing.
Day 4-6: Sun's out, but the fish are probably hiding under some sunken shopping carts down there. Try worms. They're dumb enough to fall for worms. Even Edmonds fish are smart enough to know better than a shiny lure.
Day 7-9: More of the same. Maybe a seagull will steal your sandwich. Consider that your catch of the day.
Day 10-12: This is where you think it might get better. It won't. You'll get a nibble, reel in seaweed, and blame me for jinxing ya. You're welcome.
Day 13-14: Pack it in. Go home. Watch TV. Complain about the prices of worms. At least you'll have a story to tell. Mostly about your failure. Now get off my lawn (and out of my fishing spot)! And don't forget to buy my Back-Scratching Fishing Rod; it's good for something!
Grandpa's Gear Recommendation: Stop using that junk. Fresh Grandpa Sasquatch's Patented Back-Scratching Fishing Rod (It's got a rock glued on!) are on sale here. Buy 'em or stay home.
Edmonds Fishing Forecast & Tide Charts
History of the Place:
Edmonds is home to the state’s first public saltwater fishing pier, built in 1975. Historically, this was a lumber town, but it became a recreational mecca as Puget Sound residents looked for accessible ways to reach the water. The Edmonds underwater park also serves as a sanctuary that helps bolster local rockfish populations.
List of Fishing Areas:
-
Edmonds Public Pier: The gold standard for shore-bound anglers.
-
Marina Beach: Great for casting to resident Coho.
-
Point Edwards: A trolling hotspot for boaters heading north.
-
Marine Area 9: The broad waters of the central Sound.
Type of Fish:
Resident Coho, “Blackmouth” (winter Chinook), Pink Salmon (odd years), and Squid.
Season Fishing Forecast:
-
Winter: Winter squid jigging under the pier lights is a local tradition.
-
Spring: Early bottom fishing and preparations for the salmon openers.
-
Summer: Peak migration for Coho and Pinks.
-
Fall: Last of the Silvers and the beginning of the winter squid runs.
Grandpa's Cold Hard Truth:
Edmonds is where “Juniors” go to learn. If you’re fishing the pier, watch your overhead cast—I don’t want to see another flatlander hook a seagull. Sync your trip with the Washington tide charts or you’ll just be watching the ferry go by.
