Last Saturday’s Puget Sound Anglers, Sno-King Chapter, members and guests Blackmouth Derby hit the water under ideal weather conditions and with a great morning high tide, according to spokesman Jim Fahey.
Participants watched a pod of orcas move from Kingston past Point No Point — incredible morning entertainment — then got down to serious fishing and found some good winter blackmouth action. Fahey said 53 anglers weighed 19 hatchery chinook, which ain’t half shabby.
The top dog was Kenneth Johnson, at 10.78 pounds (cleaned weight); second, Tim Stumpf at 10.03 pounds, and third, Lance Husby at 8.07 pounds. The top eight fish were all 6 pounds or better, cleaned weight, and were taken at scattered locations in Marine Areas 9 and 8-2.
