Never let a big tide discourage you and don't let folks tell you "there's no bait." The trick will be fishing deeper than normal and/or finding structure (pockets of deeper water). When you find bait deep, take a mental note for future use. The majority of the time, herring will stack up at the same depths on big swings. This is because the current is running over the top of them. Don't be afraid to challenge 180' or greater (if you have a manual DR you're probably thinking... [Bleeeeep!]... right about now).

Although I am not very familiar with east side Area 10, I would venture to say.. stick to the south and fish Duwamish to the ramp for an Ebb and a south breeze for the first couple of hours. There is very good structure and some really nice drop offs to deep water. You'll want to fish the upper flat on this.

With a North breeze, I would probably hide closer to downtown and fish the ferry dock to West Pt. Again, I am not familiar with this area.. so I am not much help.
