Blackmouth fishing in the San Juan’s has slowed somewhat from the fast start we had in December. There are still fish around, and some big ones here and there as well. The bait seems to be spread around, and the fish are moving. Hopefully we’ll get more moving in than out in the New Year. […]

After my early morning chat with Post, I roam the grounds, observing the individuals using the 600-slip marina, four-lane launch ramp. Sipping coffee, I watch the crew at Newport Marina Store & […]
