\:\) As with any other fishery you've gots to go to where the fish are! The banks you listed are pretty much barren of fish by the time the season opens.(Lots of incidental catches by blackmouth fisherman Jan,Feb and March) They've already started thier migration out to the deep blue ocean. So places like Neah Bay and the coastal ports are your best bets. Good Luck! Email me I can provide some more info.
