Got out with FAH-CUPS today. Unreal, we had two fish in the boat by 7:30. Nothin Huge but I'll take a 25 and a 40 before 8 A.M. any time. Headed into Pedder, loaded up on Anvchovie and tried our luck at Secretary for a few hours. Saw one teenager landed. Headed back to the dock, tied up and cleaned the fish. Back to my place for a few cold ones and watched the old lady cut the grass. It doesn't get any better than this! Great day, thanks FAH-CUPS! Island Idiot
The Rock and I had almost the exact same morning.....2 butts by 7:30am, one about 30lb and the second about 50lb. We were bonking the 30lb'r when the 50lb started honking line off the bow line. Had a chicken hit the corner rod as we landed the 50lb and released it. Lot's of fun. Went to Trap SHack to hunt for springs but didn't even get a sniff. The lawn can wait until tomorrow though ~ wife was at the salon today.

Hey Rock, You must be looking for a big Hali with that much octopus on the hook! I usually use just a piece! 
Great fish guys!

That's a lot of hali bait? Are you allowed to keep them? If so, how the heck do you dispatch an octopus?

I thought I was stuck on the bottom, just before the line was about to break some thing gave free and had to bring up this very heavy dead weight thought I caught some old anchor line off the bottom. Ahh no,Big Octo. We cut a small piece from an end of one arm to use for bait, the rest of him we just removed the hooks and we let him go.. though I know some people would of loved to have kept it, its a nice delicacy. The small piece that we brought in the boat sucked onto every thing I couldn't imagine bring that whole thing into the boat..

Thought it was going to be the day out there today ( monday ) but that wind carried over from last night and it sure was sloppy.
We managed into a good flurry of activity at around change this morning. Lost a hog and managed a 25lb. We worked for our fish and I think this trip will have served me for a while before I need to head out again. Damn, that was a lot of work.
I'm tired.
Going to bed.
