Lime Kiln Point

Lime Kiln Point is located about 4 miles west of Pile Point.

This is not an especially good winter Blackmouth fishery, not because the fish aren’t there – they are! However this area is very exposed to the weather and it is a long run to sheltered water. Much of the summer fishery is very close to the shoreline.

For Chinook, try to stay in the 40 ft to 90 ft depths.

When fall Coho arrive, pick a tide rip and go for it. A number of tide rips will form just to the south of Lime Kiln Point. The top 60 ft of water is usually the area for lots of Coho, however some of our biggest Coho have come while trolling 150 ft deep in late September through October.
