Fishing should be picking up by now in the sound itself. Last week all the fishing was outside in the ocean. Fish were being taken in 150 to 300' of water. Fishing was fast and furious for kings. With this hot weather you will have gales up there. In fact the wind is 30+ kts there right now. So you better hope more fish have moved in as the ocean is running 8' with 6 second intervals now. They were 17 second intervals yesterday so that tells you how much the wind has kicked up the seas. We never used bait but fished strictly with spoons, squid and plugs.
