Intro

Hey everyone, I'm Erik's Schmidt's (browneyesvictim) spouse. I have a Hobie Revo which I caught my first salmon (25 lb) a few years ago on the Coquille. I am not as brave as ya'll when it comes to ocean fishing so I stick to rivers and lakes. Although, I have gotten some salt on my yak in Newport Bay (Oregon) and Puget Sound between Lopez Island and Shaw Island. That was a ride for sure. We have plans to camp in Netarts this year for the first time and we are hoping to get our Hobies wet there. I am the "official" points keeper for Sunset Bay AOTD now and will be posting the official results very soon. Thank you all for your patience. I work full time 12 hour shifts and Erik works full time as well so we stay very busy. We bought a nice camper a little over a year ago so we have been enjoying getting out and enjoying life with our two Boxer pups and of course, our Hobies.

Hi, Esther - if I could catch fish as nice as that in a river, the ocean would be optional for me, too.  Nice fish!  And I'm glad you decided to join the forum.  Looking forward to more tales of success.

Welcome, Esther, and thanks for helping run the AOTD this year. It was a great event. Also thanks to all the other regulars who held it together in Roy's absence.
