Hi Tim, I've been trying out the cut fishing in the lower Stilly and Skagit bay for the last summer. Have had marginal success, but have not spent a ton of time trying. I ususally put out some crab pots and then run around for a while and look for action. There are a lot of areas that need to be explored. There may be little there, but it may be a fishing bonanza....don't know yet, but I'm willing to give it a try. I also want to explore the Skagit delta in spring. That is supposed to be a great cut fishery, and under fished. Let me know what you find and I'll be glad to share. I plan to put the boat in a few times in the next week. The weather looks good and the tides are in the middle of the day. Good combination.

The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
