Sore subject. Most of the bottom fishing has been wiped out by the trawlers. It used to be easy to catch some rock fish, but no more.

I have not had much luck south of Seattle (unless you count flounder or sculpin). Nore have I heard of anyone bragging about any zipper-lip spots.

I would recommend looking north, up towards whidby or possibly hat isl. It may be difficult to get any reliable info as any area still holding a few fish will be a well kept seceret.

Best way to locate new areas can be to troll slowly with down riggers on the bottom.

Good Luck!
