Mr. Graham,
I think that you should know that bottomfish regs are the same in area 3 La Push, and area 4 Neah Bay, same limits; and Sekiu can even keep 3 rockfish, all with out a bar crossing. As far a better fishing, I saw the Lu Push Charters up in area 4 quite a bit. That tells me that they're running all that way to the best Chinook fishing in July and August, right amoungst the Neah bay fleet.
Hey, what's wrong with a Makah? An angry Clallam yokul with a half gallon of whiskey in him isn't pleasent either. (Right Lingcod Dave?)
Topwater hit it on the nose. During the coho run with Sekiu now a "clipped fish retention only" fishery, why not make the extra 20 miles? Less crowds, more and bigger fish and way, way more feed, and they had chinook fishing till the end in mid- September. Best marina, and if you don't want to be on the Rez, there's snow creek outside of town.
Great King fishing last year from opener in June, on through Sept. Hmm.
