Hopefully this wind will die down for you the tip of secretary is always a good bet just watch and see what the other boats are doing I was hitting them as far down as 90 ft the other day fishing for them..

Good luck Wolf

Thanks boys, beauty fish Bulldog played. It was a white one, devil fish we had to chase him. Thanks to the guys that got out of the way and let us play the fish at Possession. Thanks to the SSES for hosting a great event once again. Aiden chose the gear on the big fish (it was his red mirror flasher and bloody nose teaser) and thinks he could have reeled him in even though the fish was as long and weighed as much as he did. He is 5. Got a love it.

Hey Boys!

I have 2 relatives coming out wednesday night for a wedding this weekend. We were hoping to get out on the water this thursday morning. Pinks, Springs, catch and release. Either or, were not to worried. Just looking for a good time!
But it looks like the boat I had lined up isnt working out. I called two guide buddies I know with no luck.
Is there anybody on the forum that wants to take us out? Obviously we can contribute with fuel and what not, and the two of us are fairly expereinced with netting fish(correctly), trolling in crowded waters, checking gear, exc...
Or maby one of the guides like Wolf can private message me a price for the morning for the three of us. (im the younger guy that dilivers your pizza once in a while wolf)
Anyway, Thanks In advance guys!
Tight Lines!!

Jackel you are just saving up for a 300 bull that Bulldog and I are going to have to help pack out Please not on the top of Felix!!!

 

[Dave S]

Congrats Bighorn! Any pictures? Very cool that your little guy was out there to be involved in the excitement.

 

[Bighorn]

Dave S Ya pretty cool having Aiden there he was so pumped. PM me. Did you get out at all? Was pretty sloppy all weekend out here, looks like a good day today.

 

[Bighorn]

Dave S here are some pics. It was 45" long.

Thanks, guys for the advice. My 7 year old daughter, 9 year old son, buddy and me had a great time this morning. 10 pinks and a small spring. Released about 4 wild coho. Lots got off too.

And a killer whale passed 6 feet from boat.

Wow!

Trolled from Otter to Sheringham today. First time that far west for this beginner. Hit pinks on the anchovy at 90 ft. within one minute of setting up first rod. Pinkfest continued crazy so tried pink squirt (nada) and coyote spoon at 60 feet to save bait. Still hit pinks on the spoon. Finally managed one very small hatchery coho and a 6lb Chinook at 120 feet. As he was a hatchery too and only my second summer Chinook we kept him. Day concluded with a fantastic Orca glide past through all the boats at Sheringham around lunch time. Had one mother and calf porpoise only 30 feet from the boat!! No large fish like the experts catch once again but fantastic day on the water getting a suntan.

 

[wolf]

WAS a fantastic !!! finally a day without wind.... we got these thinking old school!!!!!! 16 was the smallest and 24 the biggest. and tell me how tyou make the pics bigger?? as i cant figure it out??? LOL

Hey Wolfie
I posted our pics from a photobucket acount and they came up big, probably just by fluke. Great pics, you guys had a great day!

 

[Englishman]
