That all sounds good to me. The only thing I would add is what Buckmaster said. A flat line will ocassionally save or make the day. Last Sat. in Elliot Bay we got one fish in about six hours of trolling. Nice 9.5 lb. migratory Coho on a plug cut. Work the downriggers all day and the flat line gets hammered! If you can get a third rod onboard that's what you'll want to do IMHO.

It's all timing anyway. You'll soon be catching Coho while attempting to attach your line to the release clip!

I'll be on the West beaches of Whidbey this weekend. Should be decent.

Good Luck All!!!
