I always troll with the downriggers because the only way I know how to catch blackmouth is to cover lots of water if there isn't much bait in the area. IMO there isn't a real hot spot for Blackmouth in area 13 like the Pt Defiance area in MA11. When fishing area 13 I like to start with Pt Fosdick which is the point just below the end of the runway for the Tacoma Narrows airport. Then I start working towards Wollochet Bay which is due west of Pt Evans. If there isn't anything going on at either of those two spots, then I will move to Green Point and the NW corner of Fox Island which is about a mile west. This area has a "bowl" shaped area that can hold some fish and bait. I also like working the east side of Fox Island from just north of the fishing pier all the way around the southern tip of the island. Finally, one other spot I sometimes look at is right out front of Day Island. There is a rip there that can hold some fish from time to time. Another area that I hear about once in a while is Oro Bay down at Anderson Island. I have never actually fished it but I hear that sometimes it is just full of bait. Seasport, if you want to get together one day and fish 13, I would be happy to share my very limited knowledge of the area. Catfisher spends some time down there as well. The one thing I do like about area 13 is that it doesn't get as crowded as the Pt does and the water typically is a lot smoother too because there isn't as much large boat traffic.
