Thanks for the suggestions. I'm also thinking about towing the boat up to Vancouver Island to chase salmon and those other fun fish that hang around the kelp and rocks.

Any experience up there or insight as far as salmon runs and their timing.

I'm going to save the exotic stuff for when our weather is crap and I need some sun.

Also, I'd like to be able to take my Lab with me so I'm going to stick aorund the greater northwest.
