Narrows Bridge and Marina breakwater are usual spots. 20 fathom rule will be in effect.

Pick up a Fish N Map from sportco, its the same map pic above and check it out.

You can view the nautical charts online free if that helps you.

Here is the south sound, zoom in.

Is live bait legal?

Is live bait legal?

Yes if it is a legal fish species, and native to the water, or something like that Someone else will clear this up, but short answer, yes.

Find a sany beach and catch some sand dabs or kelp and catch some greenling.

Excellent ling cod bait 

[wildmanoutdoors]

Jigging Herring is the fastest, best bait. You cant find Greenling around here. Mouth of Gig Harbor is good Herring jigging.
