Possession Bar Salmon Fishing near Whidbey Island, Washington

“Possession Bar is one of the most storied salmon fishing areas in all of Puget Sound. In essence, this massive shelf is an underwater extension of Whidbey Island. The tides push heavy against it, as it is located where Admiralty Inlet, Possession Sound and Central Puget Sound intersect. Why we as fishermen care about this, is currents bring us bait, and bait brings us salmon. Concentrations of Herring and sand lance give us great salmon fishing year-round. Here, you can catch Summer Chinook, Winter Chinook, Coho, Chum, and Pink Salmon.”

When the season comes around, Possession Beach Waterfront Park has a boat launch, floating dock, and limited parking for vehicles with trailers.
