A bit over a month ago I went out targeting coho and was trolling a cut-plug at 35'. I couldn't keep the blackmouth off. Several legal with the largest was over 10lbs. Felt so guilty that I moved out of the area thinking to myself....I've got to come back in November.

November comes and nothing but few tiny shakers. Gillnetters may target chum, but they certainly aren't going to try to avoid snagging blackmouth when they are out there.
