anyboby been hitting the salt and finding blackmouth and if so with what and where? thanks for any info. tight lines sharp hooks to all

Fished Jeff Head and Edmonds Oil Docks today. I did not see any bait, and did not catch any keepers. Nice day to be out, just no fish around. Marc

Hit Kingston and quick pass by the oil docks Fri. with no keepers. Heard the seals did well at Jeff Head.

Manchester performed well yesterday. Four fish ranging from 5lbs to 9lbs. Saw one other boat net three fish. Southworth and Alan Bank were a blank. Good luck

Wouldn't you know it.
Had a friend up from Portland who doesn't fish but likes to kayak. It was his birthday wish to explore Mats Mats area. How could I say no, even though Area 9 is closed to blackmouth. So fishing out of my drift boat while he kayaked I thought I'd catch a rockfish for dinner. No way! For two hours all I could catch was blackmouth, fishing darts in 60-100 ft. at tide change. And they were all keepers. The first fish I hooked in 40 ft off the rocks was the biggest I have caught or seen in years, easily 14+! It was pure heaven; gorgeous weather, clear skies, no wind, calm seas and all the blackmouth I could catch and release with no one in sight but my kyacking buddy who coulda cared less about all the commotion that was going on. I'm black and blue from all the pinching I was giving myself. Seems like the fishing always better where you can't keep em'. Oh well, At least this time I brought the camera and had a witness to boot.

Fished Jeff Head Wednesday and today. Great weather, smooth water, non-stop shaker action. Still beats not fishing.

fished area 10 like so many others yesterday what a nice day lots of shakers on a spoon trolled deep. crab pots came thru eat crab 4 diner

fished manchester area hard and it was the worst day I seen all week. nice day thou. seen bait scattered. not concentrated like earlier in the week. Ben

OK, my kyackin' buddy is granting me a wish and I say we're going to Manchester. I usually fish Jeff and Kingston areas. Any tips on spots to fish in the Manchester area? I think we'll launch at Fort Ward off Bainbridge. Anything is appreciated.
