Jeff- good fishing for spots both south and north of Stuart Island, between stuart and waldron. 250--350' of water. also north of Parks bay on shaw island, same depth. Spot prawns are found in steeper terrain and attention must be paid to current--- lose a pot adios $250. lots of weight in pots, big floats, lots of line (400-500 ft). Pot puller not an option, its required. when you set your pots you stay with them and jog around, troll for salmon etc but don't leave them or they can be in Canada in no time
google johns sporting goods in Everett, he has great maps, instructions, bait recipes, and a great fishing guide to the area. If you need pots, line, buoys etc Swedes Nets just off Hwy 20 before you get to Anacortes is the best source ($$) Ive found. Good prawnin to ya, Bruce
