RK43, I actually got tangles up with the crab line between Everett and Mukilteo. The crab line was covered with sea life, so it didn't appear to be a poacher.

Chaser, mission bar huh....? I'll have to look that one up on a chart. From a common sense point of view, I would think that if the fish / bait were that shallow it would be an incoming tide pushing the fish up...? Do you only fish that shallow on an outgo?
