Title: Marine Areas 7, 8-1 & 8-2
Post by: hawksfan75 on February 07, 2009, 09:02:26 PM: Heading out next weekend to chase after some chinook. Has anybody been out yet? I've read reports that it's a little slow, but any advice or places to go?

We're heading out of Oak Harbor, so anywhere is fair game.

Fish checker at 11:00 only checked 1 fish. Good thing to check is the puget sound creel report.
