has it ever happened to you?

I vote for PC or Hobuck. Hobuck is about the same distace from Seattle and Portland, plus we could all camp together.

That sounds like a bro-down to me!    I'll bring the Jack Johnson!  Who's bringing the Natty Ice?

I'll bring game cube and axe body spray

Please include me in the newbie section. Tell me when and where.

Do you guys have any recommendations as far as the best way to ease into salt fishing is concerned?  While I'm new to kayak fishing, I've spent a considerable amount of time on canoes/kayaks on freshwater lakes back in the midwest where I originated from.  I'm planning on getting familiar with my boat on Lake Washington before going near the salt, but am wondering what I should expect transitioning from the lake to South/Central Sound to North Sound/Strait and Washington Coast. 

From my own experience, Depoe Bay was an excellent venue to cut your teeth in the salt. You can catch a little swell and see how your kayak handles without the beach launch/landing. If there's enough swell you get some dirty water coming off the wall.

C.G. and charter boats are usually not too far off. Also a very good place to practice VHF etiquette.

The sound is very mellow salt most of the time. Boat chop and wind waves are a different animal to ocean swell. With that said it is an easy place to get a little salt time under your belt. Pier 91, Golden Garden and Sea Crest offer some very easy, lake like entry points.

Thanks Lee, I knew I could count on you!
