Blackmouth Opener In Marine Areas 8-1 & 8-2

Today marked the opener of blackmouth season in Marine Areas 8-1 & 8-2. The weather was outstanding today and many anglers hit the water to see if they could find a blackmouth or two. A good many die hard salmon anglers have not been on the water since the closing of Marine Area 9 at the end of September.

Overall, we had some fair reports coming from anglers that fished the area today. The best reports we had came out ot the Greenbank area today. We didn't see much over the 7- 8 pound range with most fish being in the 22 - 24 inch range. Everyone who fished the race track area found lots of hungry seals.

Heard of a few larger wild chinook that had to be released today. Weather looks good for tomorrow and there should be a good number of anglers hitting the water again.
