have been hear talk of an area that has been closed for acouple of years that is going to open up this year. anybody else hear or know of this area?
thanks

the open area has these points as outer edges:

1. 48 11 N, 125 11 W
2. 48 11 N, 124 59 W
3. 48 04 N, 124 59 W
4. 48 04 N, 125 11 W

the open area is surrounded by a c-shaped closure area (to help reduce yelloweye catch) with these outer edges:

1. 48 18 N, 125 18 W
2. 48 18 N, 124 59 W
3. 48 00 N, 124 59 W
4. 48 00 N, 125 18 W

Chris-

How far of a run is it? I am taking the opener off from work and heading out there. Any worries in taking my boat out there in reasonable weather? I have a spot if you want to go.

looks closer coming out of LaPush vs Neah bay

the southern end of the open area looks to be around a 24 nm run from tatoosh (shorter than the old yelloweye hotspot area we used to fish). i don't know your range, but i'm looking forward to the shorter run down there vs. the longer holes i normally fish. if you have the range and the weather's good (it probably won't be as calm as last may) i say go for it.

it is a shorter run from la push... but neah bay doesn't have a bar that the coast guard closes.
