Your advice paid off. I got more than three shrimp today... about a limit and 1/2 between two of us with two pots.

I went north of Edmonds (yes, a couple miles past the cluster of pots right north of the Area 10 line). I set one pot at 230' and one at 250' at about 7:30 am and didn't make it back out until about 1:30 pm. Our first pull had a limit between the two pots.

There were white caps by then, so we reset for just over an hour and picked up another 40. Even going south with the wind, it was a long beat back to Shilshole.

The fish checker at Edmonds said that out of 17 boats only two hadn't limited.

I think my two keys were adding (herring) oil to the mix and staying away from other pots. The one boat I talked with said you could stay "shallow" (140-180') and do fine.

Tomorrow I may try Skiff Point.
