Sometimes you can keepwild fish in one area, butnot in another. In MarineArea 11, common spotsinclude the Yacht Club,Dash Point, and BrownsPoint. In both areas though,I'd caution against justfollowing the crowd. Don'tbe afraid to study maps andfind your own spots. Pointsand bays are always goodplaces to start.Preparation is key!Make sure to check foremergency rules beforeheading out. Don't forgetto brine your bait ahead oftime and grab ice to ensureyour catch stays cool. Grabthose life jackets and checkthe weather forecast. TheSound can turn nastyat the drop of a hat,especially for small boats.Preparation can make allthe difference between acooler full of coho and a dayof disappointment. I'll leaveyou with a story to helpdrive this point home. Oneday, I was out on the Soundfishing for coho on MikeCarey's boat with anotherfriend. The day had startedwell- we got on the water atthe crack of dawn and sawlots of fish on the meter.We started getting our 3fishing rods set up whenmy friend said "Uh oh... Iforgot my fishing license!"Mike and I immediatelystopped setting up the 3rdrod and told my friend hewas on boat-driving dutyfor the rest of the day. Itwent from a (potential)6-fish day to a 4-fishday for us. Preparationis everything! Do yourresearch, make a checklist,and give yourself plenty oftime to get ready. Have funand go catch a cooler ofcoho!
