Going to go over and tempt those chums in the saltwater estuary of "that creek" just outside Bremerton on Wednesday morning. I have a ferry pass, so you would just have to cover your personage. Will probably catch the 6:15 ferry over from Edmunds and then catch the 11:55 or 12:40 back.
They have been hitting 15lbs and fight like heck, so an 8w with appropriate leader is best. Oh, and (when they bight -- pretty closed mouth), they'll take a comet or reverse spider or a super small clouser.
Text me at 206.601.6167 if you're interested in giving it a try. Daniel
