Tandem Yak is the only Kayak fishing in Everett's Possession Sound.

I have fished over 50 miles of the estuary.

 

Welcome aboard TY!

That's a lot of water... and you're the only one? Wow, sounds like an open invite is in order so that some of us can paddle out with you next time.
It will be great! The quiet solitude you're used to, replaced by the friendly banter between fellow kayakers, e.g., "Whoa, dude! Was that hat on your wife's side of the closet!? Just kidding man, it looks great on you.. it goes perfect with that ladies life vest you're wearing!"

There's been a few out there, before.  Everett Coho Derby: 9/23-9/24 http://www.northwestkayakanglers.com/index.php?topic=125.msg877#msg877

It would be cool to get some more local knowledge. What's your favorite fishery in the area, TY?

I like to birth at the Everett Marina and head North around Jetty island. I troll while heading toward Gendy (Hat) Island. This is where you get the salmon coming and going from the estuary. Off the SW tip of the island is a fish haven (sunken ships) and a major jetty drop off. I throw out the drift anchor and sit in the general area.

There is a lot of open water and it would be great to get a group together.  The Estuary is ideal for a kayak. There are a lot of areas that only a kayak can get to.

TY, forgive me if this is a stupid question; what does birth mean? I assume it means "launch" but I came up empty when I did a 'nautical terms' search. I'm hoping it has a special definition applicable only to kayaks.
Many years ago, the bar between Camano Head and Gedney Island was an almost sure thing for blackmouth. Back then I did best trolling Silver Horde plugs. What do you use?

I believe "berth" is the nautical term you're looking for.  It usually describes a location in a marina or port where you leave your boat tied up.  It can also mean a bed onboard a boat.

Brian hit it- I've also heard used loosely as a term for any over night or resting place.

I'd be into fishing that area on one of my trips over to the wetside. There's some "zipper" species I'd like to try for, close in.

Sorry for the confusion. I did misspell Berth.

Wikipedia: Berth is the term used in ports and harbours to define a specific location where a vessel may be berthed, usually for the purposes of loading and unloading.
