Welcome to the group. Been fishing Half moon bay and the marina pretty heavy for salmon the last few weeks.

Nice to meet you in person today. I bet you're excited for that TI to get here! My new boat is on that order, too. I'm getting antsy.

Great meeting you, too.  Thanks for the time you took showing me the ropes.
Can't wait to get the TI...  hope it comes in time for those lake coho, but if not "there's lots of fish in the sea"!
Which yak did you decide to get?

I think the lake coho show up late Oct/early Nov.

I decided on an AI ;D ;D ;D

Super cool! The NWKA Island Fleet is growing rapidly, we definitely got to get together. I'm going to post an Island thread so we can find out who's among our numbers. The Chinook fishery on the Columbia is tapering rapidly and our Coho run looks to be a non-starter from all reports. Your Coho reports seem much more optimistic and worth a road trip. Post up some results!

The Coos is still pumping out fresh Coho and Chinook. It would be worth the drive for anyone interested. The Coho run has been nothing like what we saw last year, but I have 100% confidence that anyone could could come down and catch some Coho before it closes. PM me for details if you're interested.
