EDIT: Believe I have the seat filled, will update if not.

Have a 15 ft. Lund with 25 horse tiller – there's only two seats, and I had someone cancel on me.
Launching out of Pt Defiance tomorrow morning and headed to Narrows and possibly Toliva.
Also, I have never launched out of Pt Defiance, and I have never fished for lings or cabezon (new to the area). So don't think I'm an expert or have some master plan or anything. Just gonna get out there and fish. I have a spare rod, some hefty jigheads and grubs and a descending device. My sonar has down imaging so we can find structure and make sure we're fishing under 120'.
The current looks like it's dead (under 2 knots) from about 6:30-9:30 am tomorrow. Wind is super low, and wind waves are predicted less than 1 ft. If things start to get hairy we will be heading toward the launch.
Planning on launching at 6am, and driving there from just south of Puyallup. We can meet at the launch, or somewhere near puyallup/south hill. I imagine around 10:30, 11 or noon at the latest we'll be out of the water. Depends on weather, if we limit, etc. But I can't be out all day. If you need to be out of the water earlier, I would be OK leaving around 9:30 or 10.
Bring your own gear if you have it, and bring your own life jacket if you're not an adult S/M or a L/XL. Bring a shrimp pot if you want, I don't have one but we can toss one out if you do (the not spot prawn season is open). All I really care about is that if you commit to going you don't cancel – or else I'll be SOL. No need to pitch in for anything, it's a small boat and hardly uses any gas. I have cigars if you like cigars. If you hate cigars then I recommend sitting upwind!
And there's no bathroom on this boat so you'll have to hang it over the gunwale if you gotta go!
