Happy 4th

Pretty perfect morning!  (minus the Lings not wanting to play)

Good job sir!
Depoe? Fogarty?

Fogarty with some of the normal crew. Some had their coho limit in very short order. Took me a bit longer. Hooked a ton just struggled to get them in the boat.

That was a good bite! The coho were a bit closer to shore this time around. I heard of bites anywhere from 50 FOW out to 170. I had my first takedown around the 120 foot contour, so I made loops in the 120-140 foot area til I limited. Released a couple wilds, several drive-bys. I didn't mark as much bait as on 7/3, but I guess it didn't matter. It was fun hearing all the "Fish on" radio chatter among the several kayaks.

I couldn't get on the dabs this time, and the ling bite sucked. But the sea cucumbers and brittle stars were chewin  .

Crap. All I good was salmon. Can you smoke a Sea Cucumber?

The fish were on the smaller side, 3 to 5 pounds average. But it was a fast and furious bite. Lots of drive bys. Lots of nets flying. A very fun day on the water!!!
