Puget Sound is still lacking Black Sea Bass, Tom Cod, True Cod, Pollock, Many Species of Rock Cod and Hake in cacheable numbers. I've sport (salmon) fished an average of 3-4 times a week in the last 25 years and during the 1980's WDF allowed bottom Trawlers in for about 3-4 years, I can't remember for sure but I think it was 84-88. To show the impact this had on Puget Sound my Son and I have caught 2 Pollock, 0 Tom Cod, 0 True Cod, 0 Pollock, 0 Sea Bass since the early 90's, I was not targeting these fish but PRIOR to the BOTTOM TRAWLING your catch would include at least 5-15 of a mixed bag of these fish while salmon fishing. mad mad
