Looking for advice on a Fishing/Camping trip next week - Shelton / Hope Island

I am planning a two-night Kayak fishing/camping trip next week.  I am looking at launching from Shelton, spending a night on Hope Island, and perhaps another night somewhere else in South Sound.

Has anyone done a trip like this?  Any advice or ideas on where to spend the night would be most welcome.

Specifically, I'm wondering about the following:

- How safe is it to leave the kayak on the beach overnight - presumably I can tie it up to something, but I'm not sure I how close to the boat I can put my tent.

- Other than Hope Island, it's not clear where else I might be able to camp overnight.  Does anyone have any local experience there?

- Anything that might be useful info

Thanks in advance!

I haven't done that, but your plan sounds good so far. There's some decent Searun Cutthroat fishing along the beaches in that area, and maybe some resident silvers, too. You can keep the silvers, but not the cutts.
For locating the silvers, look for birds and bait fish. The cutts might be hanging anywhere along the beaches in rips or in depressions or behind boulders....anywhere  they can hang out of the current and ambush food being swept by in the rip.

I have paddled Hammersley Inlet from Arcadia Pt halfway to Shelton, and then the tide started running against me, so I fished my way back. I like that area. Its one of my favorite places (that I never get back to!!!) in the S Sound.

Not sure how far north Eagle Is. is from there, but you might want to check that our.  Only advice I can give is - make sure to time the Hammersley current just right.
