Puget Sound Salmon

[Crunchy]

Ya I dont mooch much these days in the sound because of the dogs.  Pt Wilson dart significantly decreases the odds of catching them, and if you do it not in their gut so you dont look your mooching rig.  If you do use hering, you have to reel seconds after you hit bottom or dogs every time you drop down.  Reel up a good 20 feet from bottom and you shouldnt catch quite as many dogs.

Hey, those doggy fish sharky things aren't bad eating.  Cut the gills to bleed them and toss in your cooler.  Filet when you get home or at the dock, some people soak the filets in milk overnight but I don't bother.  Dip them in egg and cornflake crumbs, then deep fry.  Not quite as good as rockfish, but it's fresh and the state hasn't said we have to throw them back... yet.   

You might think of doing a charter trip to your area.  You can learn a lot from those guys and it seems most are willing to answer how-to questions.
