Title: Life Sometimes Gets in the Way
Post by: Keith K on June 30, 2012, 02:30:33 AM

...of fishing. Ryan and I have been scrambling the last year or so to get our business going. The boat has been dry as a result...until today. We couldn't take it any more.

We launched up north and fished with the fleet right off of Tomales Point. They are there. First fish right around 7:am.

Second soon thereafter.

We then proceeded to drop 5 fish.

5!

Rusty or something. Went through a dry spell as the tide turned, then they bit again. Done by 11.

Hammered a high falootin' burger on the ride out.

Up here the word from the catch and release fishery, there's tons of bait, and tons of fish this year.  The Lake Washington Sockeye run was forecast at 48000 for the entire run, the counts are already at 47,781.
