I was given a 12' Lund rowboat with a 9.9 hp engine. Its a great little boat if the water isn't too rough.

Any suggestions on where? I have fished only Port Susan and the Deception Pass area from Bowman Bay. It seems like the South Sound is more conducive to a small boat. I have heard Neah Bay can be a good spot for a small boat, staying inside the breakwater.

All you guys (and more) talk about fishing the rips, and I know what you mean by that. But what do you do when the rips are not present? Go home? Blind cast? Fish kelp?

I have been shore fishing unsucessfully for about 3 years, and its even more bewildering in a boat. Thanks for all your help.
