Charleston 1/20/11

Fished in the bay out of charleston on Thursday. The fishing was good for perch and greenlimg. After a while a new guy on the site Evan(coosbaymerz) showed up and we fished for a little while until my drive broke and i had to  start the arduous paddle all the way in. 

Thanks Roy!  I haven't been able to make it out much yet this year and I appreciate you taking me along with you on video.   

-Spot-

Nice vid Roy!  Thanks for posting!

What was the problem with your Mirage drive???

What was the problem with your Mirage drive???

One of the masts broke off at the housing, if i would have had a small tool kit with the proper allen wrench i could have fixed it. Now the mast is an inch shorter but seems to work for now, until i can get a new one. Surprised they lasted that long, i bent them pretty good one time and had to straighten them.  My drive is ready for an overhaul anyway, lots of miles on that thing.

*Note to self, put together a small tool kit...

Not a bad idea to have a tool kit with a Allen wrench for the mast. I had a mast come loose once if I'd had a Allen wrench with me I wouldn't have a long paddle. 

Cool video. I ended up keeping 3 perch and a greenling. Of course you got the smallest one on the video
The perch were pretty tasty. I thought the greenling was a little mushy.

I fished again in the same spot on monday. Did about the same. Kept the 3 biggest perch. The largest one was 12.5 inches. Made some good fish tacos. 

High tide is after dark now unfortunately.

probably be out there for the low on Saturday. From 2-5 pm if you want to join us. Browneysvictim is coming over from the eugene area.

I might be able to join you guys on Saturday.  I won't know until Friday early evening I'll let you guy's know if I'm able to join you.
