Well, at Pleasant Harbor we looked at the map, and there we were, only a couple of miles from Dabob Bay, so we headed over there, found a place that looked likely (to us and half a dozen other boats), baited up our pots and put them down on the stroke of 9:00 a.m. Pretty rough water while shrimping, rocking and rolling, but we limited (160 of the tasty little morsels!) on one soak of four pots. Most of them were in our McKay pots from Harbor Marine in Everett. The first McKay had 85, the second one had 50. If you are looking for shrimp pots, McKays are the ticket, I am convinced. Water was rougher returning than it had been coming over, longer trip. We tucked into the Inner Harbor at Port Ludlow for lunch - what a JEWEL of a spot! We will no doubt head back there for a quick overnighter, only about 22 miles from Everett (of course, across Admiralty Inlet, so weather will dictate). Patty powered the boat up on the trailer like a pro, got home in about an hour, perfect day and a half! Most expensive shrimp in the world (120 mile round trip, 40+ gallons of gas) not counting the pots, leaded lines, and the boat itself, but we'd have gone for the crusie anyway, so I just look at the shrimp as a bonus!
