That's my bread and butter, Puget Sound. We have year-round stocks of Chinook and Coho to keep us busy but also Pacific Halibut, Steelhead, and Lake Trout as well.

I usually use box-type traps like Danielsons or Promars for crabbing. I like to drop my traps before I go salmon fishing and then pick them up on the way back in. The box traps keep the Dungies from dine and dashing.

That would be cool to see some pictures of that. I grew up in Portland and would love to get back and fish either Tillamook or Nehalem Bay. That's awesome, drop pots and fish, empty pots and go home. Either way you're going home with dinner.
