Going, but inside Puget Sound. Weather looks ok in the morning and then potentially pretty sporty depending on what forecast you look at. Tide couldn't be better.

I'll be at Neah Bay with my father Wed-Sun. I got a buddy coming out for Fri-Sat as well. The weather seems decent at this point but could get sporty for Saturday. Lets hope not. We will be fishing inside waters as our boat is not offshore capable. This weekends shakedown trip had everything up and running including the electric reels! Hoping for some solid results, I need to turn around my luck considering how this fishing season has been for me so far. Good luck out there all and be safe!

Heading to Westport. Right now conditions look borderline. Here's to hoping it improves!

Heading to Neah Bay, as long as forecast doesn't get any worse. It's borderline worthwhile for the trip right now.

That said, I'm calling it a no-go for Thursday. If I was in a powerboat I might go for it, but in a kayak, and launching/landing through a surf zone makes it too hazardous. They're calling for 5-8ft surf where I was going to go. Saturday is also looking like a probable no-go. I'd try the straights, but the currents are a bit much for me personally.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when. No habitat = no game.
