Haven't been able to get out with G as much this year. Between family commitments, family illnesses and winds messing with the few days left, it has been difficult getting something together, and harder getting a decent fish day together. So this morning we got out a little later than normal and were greeted by an almost empty launch. The derby (ies) must be over. We lost the first 4 hooks; some at the boat, some on the way. G became discouraged and passed the next fish to me to break the jinx. It worked. We ended up 6 for 13. Was a beauty day to be out on the water.
We kept a couple small first year Chinook for the plates, and some trout for the smoker. the rest went back to play another day.
Nice to finally put together the right components.
