My brother and I got skunked again last night on Hood canal near scenic beach state park. Took my little boat out for a few hours around high tide. Casted buzz bombs, spoons, and spinners. Had 2 pinks chase spinners up to the boat. One bit but didn't stick. There were occasional fish jumping. Didn't appear to be schooled up.
I'm hearing the action is a lot better near point defiance in area 11. Might try there. I've just got a 10' aluminum boat with electric trolling motor. I'm a little nervous about bigger water and boat traffic. And also finding a spot to launch that isn't full already.
I'm thinking about launching near Southworth ferry in Port Orchard and then motor around Blake Island. If anyone has tips for that area, or other areas that would be good for a boat as small as mine I'd be happy to accept them. My boat isn't trailered, it slides in the back of my truck. 2 people can slide it out and carry it to the water, so I don't need a boat ramp to launch.
