Time of Day
King Salmon adults bite early dawn and late evening, not necessarily so for Blackmouth as lots of the best bites occur in the middle of the day. Tides and currents play a very important role in concentrating the bait fish and making for good Blackmouth Salmon fishing.

Tides and Currents
One of the most important factors in Successful Blackmouth salmon catching is studying the water movement as it reacts to the bottom contour.
Bait fish – Herring, Candlefish do not like fighting strong currents and will seek refuge from the currents along ledges, drop offs and behind points that form back eddies. These are the places to look for concentrations of baitfish and feeding Blackmouth

Tackle
Spoons, Plugs, Flasher and Squids are all used to catch these Blackmouth.
I like Plugs when they will catch the Blackmouth.
Plugs work best when fished in and around lots of bait fish.
Flasher and Spoons are very productive for these fish
Spoons can be fished by them self or behind a flasher or dodger.
Best Luck is fishing them 38 inches behind an 11 inch flasher.
Gold Star king fishers are good producers.
Many colors will work, but some green in them has been best.

You likely will see Seals, Sea Lions, and numerous birds such as Eagles, Sea Gulls and diving birds. You also have a good chance to see Whales and Porpoise.
