Hello.
Could easily have waterskied the inlet this morning.
Too much debris for barefooting, though [8D]
Myself and 3 kids today.
Hootchies in at 4:45 at Hocking.
Plan was to set the hook, give the rod to a kid.
5am, 1 quick one to warm the crew up.
5:10 am, double header, dad netting, kids steering (sorta).
A double header with experienced adults is exciting, try it with 2 9yr olds and a 12 year old!!! AWESOME FUN!
5:15am, tap tap tap nothing there (I count these as hits).
5:23am, another single in the cooler, ratio 4 for 5.
Okay, plan change, kids do everything while dad steers and videos.
Went 2 for 17 over the next 3 hours with the young crew, but what the hey, 6 fish and countless firedrills was fun!
The major bite is definitely gone by 6am from what I've seen over my 4 trips in the last 9 days.
I did try to pop the release once but broke the main line!
Brought the rigger up and there is the gear with a sockeye keeping pace with us!
So, I hollered at my daughter to get the net while I grabbed the line and (you gotta try!) pulled the line in by hand - and she netted it perfectly!
The oldest girl wouldn't get out of bed this am so she is outside filleting and vacuum sealing right now
Get out there, it is hot!
CC Charters, they are all over the map for size, but you'll get enough to the boat to be selective about your retention if you wish - just consider the mortality profile of fishing that way.
We keep anything legal, the small ones are the best to marinate and put on the bbq.
I'd LOVE to know how to target sox off CR, any tips?
My wife loves the civilized nature of Brown's Bay camping so if we could get sox there it would be really nice!
The sparkly truck wasn't producing as well as bubblegum today.
My son wanted to try a googly dude today so we did, and it caught one.

Smiley out.
