Point Defiance can be great in August. The window of opportunity is now.

You can mooch, jig or troll at P.D. Trolling is a little tough when the fish are in though because there will be a fleet of boats to navigate through. Pt. Dalco across the sound is where I go instead. Same fish, just a more trolling friendly spot.

You can troll cut plug herring solo or whole herring behind a flasher(my personal favorite). Hoochies are also worth a try. Glow in the dark Green and White are my 2 favorite colors. Use leader lengths of 44 - 50".
