Hello all and thanks for having such a great informative sight. I have a friend in Seattle that has recently made his fortune in the internet business and he has invited me to come try out his new boat with him the last week in July. He has a 51 foot bayliner and has taken it out in the sound quite a bit. He doesn't fish however so he has no idea were around the San Juans to go to fish and what bait and tackle to use. I love to fish but I've never fished saltwater or for anything bigger than a 15 pound steelhead from a river. I have a small ugly stick and a reel that handles most river and lake fish fine. Anyway I'm looking for ideas on where to go and what to use. Can anyone help? I'd appreciate any help you can give as I am a working stiff and may never get an opportunity to ocean fish again. I really don't want to sit in a chair and watch the scenery I'd rather be fishing. My buddy said he'd take me anywhere around the San Juans I wanted to go and let me fish all I wanted but I'm clueless and so is he about fishing. Thanks in advance for your help and I'd really appredciate any help you could give.
