Hornbecks Spit is a mid-exposure sand flat off Edmonds, Washington, in DFO subarea 10, with water running from 5 to 25 feet deep. The flat draws Chinook Salmon from June through August and Coho Salmon across a longer window from June into October, with Chum Salmon also passing through the area. Trolling flashers with hootchies, trolling spoons, or cut-plug herring covers the salmon runs over the open sand, while mooching cut-plug or whole herring works the same water on a slower presentation. Pacific Halibut hold near bottom here through the spring peak of March to June, taken on drift jigging with leadhead jigs and swimbaits or metal jigs, and Lingcod come on through February to April on jigged metal jigs and swimbaits. Dungeness Crab fill out the season with a July to September peak, worked with crab pots or ring nets baited with fish carcasses, chicken, or clams over the sand bottom.
