i have been in a similar being transplanted from port angeles to bainbridge for the last 2 weeks at a family members house and not having access to my boat. but i asked around for the best onshore fishing and i found that someone told me there is a peir off jefferson point and they had huge success there. it was so good that the guys kids were catching silvers on snoopy rods with a herring head casting 20 feet out. so not very much knowledge is needed. unfortunately i wasnt able to test the area do to unpreparedness/reel trouble. however the guy gave me the idea to try a snoopy rod ocean tourney....anyone up for it
