Rookie, try fishing the “race track” which is the ridge that runs between Hat Island and Camano Head. Fish the edge of the ridge in about 120 feet of water and if your trolling have your downrigger weight just off the bottom. You can fish bait if you want but most fish plugs or flasher/squid and flasher/spoons, especially if there are a lot of dogfish (green eyes) around. If shakers are a problem go to 5 inch plugs like a Tomic 600, 603 or 84FLG.
If you were really new then I would emphatically suggest booking a trip with a charter boat like Gary Krein from “All Star Charters.” His number is 425-252-4188.
