Do you have your fish finder hooked up? Just paddle around till you see clouds on your screen and drop straight down. The smallest sibiki you cab find works best for smelt. They have small mouths. Like size 16 is good. I'd say hit the mouth by the bell bouy for Macs but being your first time solo I'd sick to the harbor.

Also a good place for halibut is around the sail boat moorings. Lots of grass with big patches of sand.
