Escapee - Where exactly is hat island. I'm pretty sure there's one near padilla bay but it never seemed like a very good salmon spot ~ is this the one you fish? I'm planning on launching at washington park saturday or sunday and either heading across to the islands or if it's a bit rough (and bait is in the area) staying around fidalgo head. Also, is Biz Point (area 7) open. I know that it is closed during most of the salmon fisheries but the regs never said if it was closed now (that I could find anyway).
