Your 2013 Yak Fishing Goals?

I have to get the kayak out and get the skunk off!  I need to get out more in new year, learn the waters and find my goto place to fish.  Also on my list is practice and training for self rescue and playing in the surf/salt.  More play less work (if I can)!!   Happy New Year to all!!

   1. Catch more springers than j-fek   Thats it

I'd like to catch some carp from my yak

This year I had a 33 hour to one salmon catch ratio. I would like to improve on that in 2013!

That's one helluva profile picture ya got there.  I'm scared, disgusted, and yet I can't look away.

Dr. Rockzo the rock n roll clown... Having a bad day haha

Less "hook and line" kayak fishing and more kayak free dive spearfishing!

1. Halibut fishing, give it a shot.
2. Catch as many lingcod as possible!
3. Catch as many cabezon as possible!
4. Don't eat the fish so fast that I run out during the winter.

In no particular order:
- Get my Hobie
- Catch a halibut
- Place at ORC
- Hold my own while participating in my first AOTY
- Help plan/participate in all the HOW NW events
- Catch enough fish to upgrade my handle on this site!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Could any of us really let our biggest fish go without at least a photo as proof? I seriously doubt that I could.

I do it all the time if there's any chance that dawdling will hurt the fish.
Christmas Eve I landed one of my most memorable native steelhead.  Huge, purple chrome, thick as a chinook but dead tired at the end of the fight.  Camera was in my chest pocket.

Sunday I landed my personal best Steelhead ever.  At least 3 feet long and well over 15lbs.  I'm not calling it 20 but it was the biggest steelie I've ever seen in person.  After more than a quarter mile and 30min of chasing the huge buck down, under, around and thru bedrock pocket water I finally managed to coax it into shore.  Even though it was a hatchery fish, given how colored up it was and the fact that it was the most 'worthy' steelhead I've had the pleasure of tangling with, I pulled the hook and immediately sent it on its way.  No pics needed.

I have a newfound respect for the broodstock program.
