Salmon Fishing near Kingston, Washington
Kingston was named after one of its founding fathers, but it most certainly could have been named after the Chinook, or King Salmon that congregate in great numbers in front of the harbor. This is one of my all time favorite places on the planet to salmon fish, and it is less than a fifteen minute boat ride from Seattle.
Kingston’s underwater terrain is complex, and creates places that Salmon want to concentrate on both sides of the tide. Expect to see plenty of boats in the prime areas during the summer, as this place is no secret. Yet it remains one of the most productive areas for catching Chinook Salmon as well as Coho.
Where is Kingston, Washington?
The seaside town of Kingston, Washington is located on the Kitsap Peninsula. It is a quick jaunt across Puget Sound from several large Seattle area marinas. It is located 7.4 miles to the Northwest of Seattle’s Shilshole Marina and 4.5 miles to the Southwest of the Edmond’s Marina.
About a mile north of Kingston’s harbor is Apple Cove Point, which marks the boundaries of two Puget Sound marine areas. South of the point is considered Marine Area 10, with Marine Area 9 to the north.

How to Fish For Salmon Near Kingston
This area is a special place because it is an optimal spot for the downrigger trolling fleet as well as the old-school mooching crowd. As hectic as it can be, this is an area where trollers and moochers work close by each other in relative harmony.
There is a bar that stretches around from the Kitsap mainland and protects the deep trough that is just to the north of the ferry lanes. The interesting structure that makes up the Kingston area holds an impressive amount of bait for most of the summer, allowing salmon to move from one side of the Kingston Bar to the other and have plenty of forage without needing to leave the area.

Fishing an Outgoing Tide
An outgoing tide concentrates bait in the Kingston Bowl, to the inside of the Kingston Bar. Moochers consider this sacred ground, and one of the best locations in Puget Sound for them to practice their craft. Trolling can be very productive here as well, just remember that the best concentration of bait and salmon occurs here in the Kingston Bowl during the biggest tides, so it’s pretty much a northbound troll from the ferry lanes to the shallows at the north end, pick up your gear and run back and repeat.
Fishing an Incoming Tide
After the tide change, the incoming currents flush most of the bait out of the Kingston Bowl and it’s time time move the the outer Kingston Bar. It’s a nice southbound troll from Apple Cove Point down the outside of the bar to the end. Sometimes the top of the bar can be productive, it completely depends on where you find the bait. I’d dredge bottom with trolling gear. If you are mooching, look for any area that has a good concentration of bait and do your best to set up a good drift.
There are fishing and boating adventures to be experienced at Kingston SE and Cape Jaffa. You just have to know where to go.
Chad who manages the Kingston Foreshore Caravan Park along with his wife Kristy, talks about how to make the most of your boating holiday while in Kingston.
What sort of boats can you bring into Kingston and for what purpose?
“We accommodate most boats, anything from a 12 foot tinnie to most trailer boats.
People love fishing here and there is plenty of fish for most of the year. Off Kingston Jetty you’ll be able to catch tommies, whiting, garfish, mullet, flathead and trevalley. At Cape Jaffa you’ll also get King George whiting, snapper and shark.
Kingston is famous for crayfish and the season is open from November to the end of May. You’ll need a permit from Primary Industries and Regions SA and with the permit you’re allowed to catch four crayfish per day per person. For more information about permits and quotas, visit their website.
For people with larger boats, cruising up and down the coastline at sunset is always a great experience. You can hang around Lacepede Bay in calmer waters. If you are a more experienced boater, you can head over to Cape Jaffa, but take care because it can get a bit choppy and there is an exposed reef. For the more experienced boaters, you can go to Margaret Brock Reef and take a look at the original lighthouse location before it was moved to Kingston.”
Where are the boat ramps in Kingston?
“There are two boat ramps with launch facilities in Kingston:
Maria Creek Boat Ramp – the Maria Creek boat ramp past the jetty on Marine Parade has good facilities. On the maps, you will often see it listed under “Kingston boat ramps” – this is the Maria Creek ramp.
Cape Jaffa Boat Ramp – Cape Jaffa has a fully functional marina with exceptional facilities. It’s a bigger and deeper channel used by people with bigger boats and commercial fisherman.
Off the Beach launch – if you have a 4WD and can get onto the beach, you can launch smaller boats anywhere from Threadgold beach through to Pinks Beach.”
What boating etiquette is expected from the locals at Kingston?
“Like any great fishing spot, we want people to follow the Primary Industries rules to make sure our fish supplies stay healthy:
- Know the fishing open season and quota – only take what you’re meant to
- Bin your rubbish
- Make sure you have all the safety equipment needed
Recently in Robe, 90 holiday makers were fined for not having the right safety equipment on their boats, such as enough water provisions, life jackets, spare batteries for torches and other things that are important to keep you safe should anything unforeseen happen.

How is the boat fishing between February and May?
Plenty Of Fish Kingston Ontario
“Autumn fishing is great. The weather is good, it’s calmer and there aren’t too many boats like there are during the summer holidays.
The squid are still in close to shore, you can catch garfish, snapper, and we have seen salmon up to 4 kgs around the Granites recently, with snapper and plenty of gummy sharks in that area as well. We have also seen small tuna and kingfish. King George whiting up to 60 cms are still being caught from Kingston to Cape Jaffa.”
