Hello Bassin, from what I understand Hood Canal should be rockin and rollin until mid December. It is RED HOT right now though. Don't wait to long to get over there. The drive will be worth every gallon of gas. A 17 foot boat is perfect, take along a GOOD ANCHOR too. There is a free launch about 2 miles south of Hoodsport on Hwy 101.
I will be out there over this long holiday weekend.
