Northwest Fishing Reports

Hello. I'm visiting at the end of this month and would like to shore fish but have no idea of where to go. I'm probably going to throw a lot of 4 or 5 inch Big Hammer swimbaits as they seem to be a good general choice when I've traveled. Do I need to be on wave exposed areas or will I get bit on the calm inlets too? I assume my target species is a variety of rockfish? I fish inshore a lot in so cal for a similar species called calico bass. Shallow rockfish show up as an incidental catch here. I hope to hop on a salmon charter if there's time o:) Thanks for any info you can share.

Hey just saw in the fishing regs that rockfish are off limits in the San Juans...I guess that leaves me surf perch or a salmon charter. Are there any sandy or sand with scattered rock beaches?
