My consistent producer over the years has been a size 4 spin & glow (white/orange)paired up with a orange hoochie. Place a beed on both ends of the spin & glow, but on the top bead slide a toothpick into it to keep the spin&glow from floating up your line away from the hoochie skirt. I tie up a double hook rig (two 2/0's)and fish a leader about 2'6" feet in length with a fixed piece of lead. One other tip, slide a piece of yarn in one the top hook under the hoochie for soaking up shrimp oil!!!!

I've had my best luck fishing the outgoing tide after a reasonable high tide at both Bush and Ft. Casey. 90% of the fish bite within 10 feet of the bank. If you cast more than 20 yards from the beach your casting to far.

Lagoon Point is very terretorial with plenty of hostile locals! I'm sure this is result of inconsiderate fishermen in the past leaving garbage behind and using the beach as a urinal. If you pack it in pack it out. Those westside Whidbey beaches are to pristine to thrash! (i.e. lower Samish River).

Good luck to everyone and dress warm that wind coming out of the straight bites!
