This kayak isn't big enough for both of us...one of us is gonna have to go in the back!
Pretty happy to catch a Birthday Chinook - 34inches !! 
This one bit on a cut plug herring behind a Protroll.  Hooked numerous coho, but they were all wild and released unharmed.

Damn nice fish, Birthday Girl!
The fish bite twice a day - just before we get here and right after we leave.

Way to go Barb! Thanks a lot for the report. That is a killer looking birthday fish. Those Nehalem nooks can't be beat.

   What a great birthday present.
   Ya did good Barb.
   Happy Birthday.
Life is short---live it tall.

Be kinder than necessary--- everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

Sailors may be struck down at any time, in calm or in storm, but the sea does not do it for hate or spite.
She has no wrath to vent. Nor does she have a hand in kindness to extend.
She is merely there, immense, powerful, and indifferent

Fished near the 101 bridge - up and down river from the county boat launch.  It was spotty catching, but great weather conditions.
