I'll be there 7ish, at least get some rockfish in the yak.

I will see everyone at 7 then.

HAPPY DING DONG BIRTHDAY! Still cleaning gear full report and .... Coming up.... Stay tuned.

Got to the launch early this morning 6:30 after a grueling 2.5 minute drive, started rigging as Pinstriper and his buddy showed up in separate truck followed by heliumhead and cjweinhe. I was pretty much ready to roll and we got them rigged and launched a little later then expected at 7:45. Nice ride out followed with some good sprinkles after dropping the crab trap. I hooked into a 5 inch black rock that got sent back unharmed followed by two bay size rocks that went on the stringer and got donated to Cj. After a couple trolls for rocks we pulled the pots and 1 keeper for me 8 I believe for Cj. We decided to drop the traps closer to the exit  to soak while we cleaned the 9 we had put them on ice and switched to salmon gear, Pinstripers buddy had jelly arms and packed it in. No knife so heliumhead let me cut one of my recycled hering from my trip with Upnorthtex with his as we headed out. Crossed the sand bar to the channel and drop her down and start trolling... About 50 yards before Hobson Point be do followed with nothing no sticky sticky. Check bait it's ok sent it back down and just past the floating turd house be do and a miss again followed by a few choice words. Baits still good get to the bottom end and turn for a return troll about 75 yards before the toilet I tell Pinstriper to check and clear weeds and we redeploy.... Bendo and we got a sticker ... "FISH ON" my salmon net is on Cj's boat as he didn't have one and I don't have a good holder for it but luckily he's behind me and I'm now going towards him. Couple of good jumps and line peals and the damn thing comes back at me tangling in my flasher... "CRAP" Cj rolls on just in time and on the second attemp it's in the net..."TOUCHDOWN"  "hatchery ho" thanks for the net work Cj. Hooked to stronger gills are blessing and .., yep no pen on board... PB next to me loans me one and later said keep it happy birthday. Now if I keep it and I'm prepared I won't catch another. Shot back to pull the traps and I got 5 keepers in my first trap and 0 in the second. I gave 5 to heliumhead as 1 is enough for me. You know it's a good day when your covered in fish blood from the waist down,  PB'ers are congratulating you at the fish cleaning station and the first thing the wife says WHOA YOU STINK go shower. All in all I had a great birthday day fishing trip with some bonus presents. I guess Mother Nature only hates me when I hunt.

 Damn Shannon,

 That's a couple of salmon so far this year. Good for you and a very Happy Birthday too.

  We might have to figure out a new nick name for you soon.

Nice Coho.  Are the hatchery Coho in Tillamook bay stray Nehalem fish?

Nice mojo! Looks like a fun time

Super nice day at PC, easily was able to launch and land without even a risk of spilling, others were catching okay, there was one guy I talked to who had a real nice Sea bass. I launched twice, paddled out to the rock both times, got terribly seasick and paddled back to land, only fished for about 15 mins. All my focus on safety and I forgot about the nausea inducing rolling waves of the ocean! Just gonna have to get used to it.

Thanks Mojo Jojo, Pinstripper, Helium Head for a great day out on the water.  I always learn a few more things when I go out on the water with you guys.

I decided to throw the Herring I caught back so as not to detract from the glory of Mojo's catch.
