WRT bottomfish in Area 7 in July, the only thing you can keep is 1 rockfish per day per angler (not counting flatfish). Since you will likely hook as many Ling cod as rockfish, and you have to throw the Lings back, and they probably won't survive the round trip from 150' to 0' back to 150', consider NOT fishing specifically for bottomfish.

Just my $1/50.

The crabbing should be good, and salmon fishing along the NW coast of San Juan Island is a good bet.
