Salmonhead - Sorry to miss you yesterday! How'd you do? As far as boat launches, I believe in addition to the Port Orchard ramp, there is also a launch on the south side of the entrance to Dyes Inlet, under the Manette bridge, and also one at Brownsville. The Dyes Inlet and Port Orchard launches would likely be closest to the fishery. The Fort Ward ramp on Bainbridge is little used and very close as well!
