Tim, I spend most of my time in the south sound and haven't explored the north much but my understanding from other fishing buddies, is that there aren't nearly the number that there is in the south (by south, I mean approximately south of the Tacoma Narrows bridge). I believe the cutts spawn later in the winter/spring in the south. But that's not to say that you may find some in the north.
