The question that I need answered is: Why was the delayed release program so successful in South Sound in the 70's and early 80's but such a bust for winter fishing now?

As Capt. Downriggin asserts, it is still good now - but in different locations - why isn't it good in the "old" locations? If the program that is mandated by statute to improve the winter blackmouth fishing isn't working for the Tacoma/Olympia area fisheries, how do we turn that around?

I'm envious of those who have good fishing up north.
