Blackmouth fishing lately has been nothing to really write home about. Most of the really good blackmouth fishermen that frequent the shop have all been complaining that the fishing has been tough with them averaging a fish to a fish and a half per boat per trip. Not Great! The one redeaming factor is that the fish have been nicer in the 7 - 13 pound range and even an occasinal fish up into the high teens.
Can't say that I have heard of any place being exceptionally more productive than an other. Just get out there and try and find the bait. Where there is a fair amout of bait it is there that you will find your fish. As far as gear goes there is nothing that is hotter than anything else. The only single item that we have been getting a fair amout of play on has been the Silver Horde 4L Kingfisher Spoons and Coho Killer Spoons in Cookies N Cream and Irish Cream.
I don't think we shall be seeing any great improvemnt to the fishing anytime soon, based on what we have been seeing. Perhaps we will see an odd "Springer" just before the season closes.
