I fished Meadow Point at Golden Gardens Park in Seattle Sunday morning from sunrise (6am) until about 8:30. High tide was at 7:20. There were dozens of boats fishing the area, including a buddy who was in a kayak out there with all the other boats. Although he didn't catch anything he said he saw a lot being pulled into the other boats.

From shore though, there was nothing happening. The 10 or so other fisherman didn't seem to have any better luck than me. I never even saw a fish jump. This is my first year trying for pinks, so I'm looking forward to doing better another day.

Am I reading the regulations wrong? I thought that area at Golden Gardens Park is closed.

Shilshole Bay Closure: July 1-Aug. 31: waters of Shilshole Bay southeast of a line from Meadow Point to West Point CLOSED to fishing
for SALMON

You might be reading it wrong even though you are quoting it correctly. Take a look at a map and draw a line from Meadow Point across Shilshole Bay to West Point. Meadow Point is in the north part of Golden Gardens Park, but there is more park to the north and east of it and fishing from shore is OK there. Once you round the point you are no longer in Shilshole Bay. BTW, this imaginary line is also how far out boats, kayaks, paddle boards, etc need to go away from shore before they can fish.

Here, I made a map for you: https://goo.gl/photos/5UJZJAFaieGGPr466

Thanks. The map in the regulation book made it look like the line covers that part of the beach as well.
