You are correct sir. We're in the S end of the sound looking North to the Southern tip of Knight Island. The shrimping isn't as good in that part of the sound (my theory is the closer to the terminus of glaciers the better for the nutrient rich waters) but my boys had a great time plinking tin cans on the beach.
The only downside to a 22/45 is yes, you do have to stop to reload the magazines.
