I am camping with the family at Deception pass in a few weeks and need some info about launches, fishing from shore, etc.

I see there are two launches, Bowman bay and Cornet. With my 16 ft. Gregor, and a 40hp engine, can I run through Deception pass? I hear that the waters are treacherous, but too treacherous for me to run through? If I want to fish the west side, should I launch from Bowman or is Cornet OK?

How about good fishing spots in that area? from boat and shore?

We are camping in the lower loop, spot 197 which you can see on the park website.
I want to target coho while I am there but Have never camped and fished from Deception before. Any help appreciated.

Thanks all-
