Well have to say what a blast the shoot was this year.... Great job BC tough Crew..
We arrived at Brads Place on the broad walk Monday afternoon and stock the medicine chest right away for any aliments that we may have encountered for the week...
Start to ready the boat for the tuna fishing and rigged it up.. This year was the first year skippering my boat for this event as I have been a deck rat for Mike P and Shawn H last year with a total of 3 days on the water chasing these addictive critters....

The weather was goofy to get a feel for so the Tuesday we did local Coho, bottom fish fishery... With Mike P doing the forecasting for us from his office we went for our first Run up to Clayquot canyon weds morning.. a 68 mile run each way...fished it tell 3:30 and ran back not a bite.. as we found out this would be the day where the whole fleet got the same thing except for the Coho fest. that was going on.... a great test run with my boat and great crew.... the wrap up shot for the day

Thanks Sculpin for the chatter ...
