First time fishing for blackmouth. First time fishing possession. The weather has to be pretty much perfect for me since I'm in a little 13.5 ft smoker Alaskan. I have not seen many reports for blackmouth so here you go.

Fished from 7:30 to 12:00 using a coho killer (green and silver don't know the actual name), purple haze needlefish skirt, or green spatter back needlefish skirt. All with a green flasher. I launched at possession point park on Whidbey Island. The coho killer produced nothing as well as the purple haze needlefish. Green spatter back needlefish ended up hooking a decent size flounder in the tail. Let it go and next run with it produced a very small wild salmon. Probably 13 or 14 inches. Didn't identify the species just assumed it was a blackmouth. Quickly unhooked it and it swam away. Caught both fish on accident, just happened to pull up my gear to check on it and there they were. Beautiful day out and that's more fish than iv'e caught all winter steelhead fishing! Saw one other boat fishing in the area. Never saw a net out but they were a ways out from me. There you go! Good luck out there!
