Carr Inlet
Carr Inlet reaches up into the fertile Oyster County of the Key Peninsula. Not known as a top south sound salmon location but it can produce some limited opportunities when the season allows.
The area between the West tip of Fox Island to Green Point will hold fish at times and a good place to start fishing. Motor mooching just off the bottom accounts for most of the fish. If you don't find bait here move on up into the Inlet.
Trolling off Cutts and Raft Island can be productive and almost always you have the water to yourself.
Moving farther up, Allen Point can be another sleeper spot along with the trolling the middle of Henderson Bay near Purdy.
In the fall Chinook and coho return to Minter Creek hatchery motor mooching out front can account for some descent fishing also I would try off Thompson Spit near Glen Cove.
Tackle: Trolled cutplug herring are hard to beat here, I have had some luck with black pearl Apex spoons for coho.
Ramps: There is a ramp next to the Wanna Post Office in Purdy, its very primitive and has a very small parking lot that requires you to pull out into Hwy 302 traffic to use. There is an unimproved ramp located next to the Fox Island Bridge there is no dock and very limit parking.
Narrows Marina 253-564-4222 is only a few miles away and has fresh herring and offers one of the best tackle shops in the area with a ramp and dock.
