Busy,

A 17.5 footer is big enough... I am fishing out of a 16 footer open bow. Green Pt is fairly protected however, need to watch the winds from the N or SE because Carr Inlet can get extremely choppy and the ride back can be a "pant checker" if you're heading back to Narrow's Marina or where I launch on the peninsula.

If the winds are whipping, I'll launch in Wollochet Bay and fish either Fox Pt (ebb) or the bay itself- which is protected enough to fish comfortably.

Downriggin'
