Marine Area 7, the San Juan Islands, is picking up steam into the winter blackmouth season, according to Kevin John at Holiday Sports in Burlington.
A few more fish each day are showing at the usual early-season spots: Eagle Bluff, Tide Point, Thatcher Pass and others. A plug-cut herring would be a good choice for fish in the 6- to 8-pound range, John said, or glow squids in greens or chartreuse.
