You can catch Kings along the kelpbeds on Waada Island(sp?) which is only a few minutes from the harbor. Mushroom Rock is a favorite inside area just before you get to Tatoosh.

If you go outside, Skagway is right around the corner of Cape Flattery.

Watch the wind and the tides and if you are fishing close to the rocks, keep your motor running in case you need to make a sudden move from an unexpected wave.

It can be completely flat outside or very nasty and you may not be able to judge the conditions as you run out as it can be rough inside and calm outside depending on the thermal exchange.

If there is a strong wind blowing into the Straits or SWesterly, it is better to fish close.
