Devine,

Coho Resort in between Sekiu and Clallam Bay has frozen herring for $3.00 a dozen. I used green and red labels. Never did buy any fresh. You can always cut your bait on the dock and start brining right then, but it might be nice to get at least a few dozen going the night before.

The waves kicked up by some of the rips really surprised me on Saturday. The water was very calm and flat for Sekiu, but some of these rips had some pretty tall waves at a VERY short frequency. I got sprayed, but that was all. We went over to that little boat and tossed him a line, drug him out of the rip, and after he bailed out about 30 gallons of water, all was well. I agree about not having a deathwish, so if the waves are bigger than you can handle in your 16 footer, stick to the bay, or buzzbomb the beach.

The quartering method will help you to get out of the nasty rips, but if you have to quarter all day, the water is too rough for you.
