"Have you seen those training videos the Coast Guard puts out of their 40' life boats in the super rough water? Well those were taken on the Columbia Bar. This can be some of the most dangerous water in the world!"

Any tips then? Tides to/not to work? Places not to visit, etc. I have a "fishngo" map w/depths, etc., and depth sounder. My GPS does not have mapping this far south although I'm considering it. Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance-
