I fish Neah Bay a lot near rocks so leave my engine running in case I need
to scoot in a hurry! Southern Puget Sound has few dangers so do as you feel
comfortable.

When fishing in an area/spot do you let your engine idle or do you turn it
off until you are ready to move to another location. I fish on Puget Sound
usually south of the Narrows Bridge. I am relatively new to boating and
was
just looking for information.
