the agate pass silver thing is a done deal now that there are no more net pens. That was done about 5 years ago now, There are a few cuts still around but it is very hit and miss... Hood canal is the best bet for cutties. Boats help a ton.
Move a lot until you find fish.
I prefer gravel shore lines with a good slope and current, usually bordered by eel grass flats.
