There is a sunken jetty off the water treatment plant in Ocean Shores. I have heard it has a lot of bottom fish and you can crab safely inside in the breakers that way. Just be sure to have a kicker motor back up. I have pulled kids off 2 boats in the past and neither had a kicker or even oars. It is for people like them that that life jackets should be manditory.

Out going tide is not a good idea to be between the jetties out there, even if it seems to be a smaller swing in a smaller boat. The water seems to stay pretty manageable off the north jetty in the area I was talking about. I have heard of peole taking pontoon boats out there, not that I ever will but have heard it.
