First of the new year.

This is a post to follow along my recent info of what is going on in my neck of the woods.
    After many delays I finally got a decent day to fish,  and there was a fish out there with our name on it.
It was 17f at my house 🏡 and the sun warmed things up by midday to above 🥶 freezing.
   The oil stove was our friend.   With light winds and a hope and a prayer we trolled until about mid morning and a fish took the plug,  and made it a great first day for our winter fishery.

Way to go Gary. You kicked the king's butt.  I hope this is a good sign for the year.  Dominick

Looking good Gary. Congrats on being able to get out.
A cozy pilot cabin with a stove is worth it's weight in gold.
What type of plug were you guys running, a bail cut plug or lure?
I'm fishing vicariously you and your posts  .

Thanks

Thanks for the comments,  🎯the plug Ken used is called a Whole Herring King Kandy,  I showed itin the lures section at least a year ago,  maybe look there?  Butt I can show more on these as time permits.   I like the Sardine one personly butt the Blue Chrome plug is very good here.   Google king kandy by point Wilson jigs of Washington state and your going to get started.
   The fish we got had 4-6 herrings in its stomach and that's to me a good sign, 🤷‍♂️ as if there's feed abundance they might stay here for a while.🤷‍♂️
    Ice for the fish,  is not a problem,  snow is everywhere.🤓

  Here a short clip taken with the fish starting on the floor of the boat.   Thinks were happening quickly,  it was a fun time for both of us.
       There is a slight view of the King Kandy plug,   and the diver/planer we use.... butt more on this soon.   Thanks for watching.   Bloody Pish?

Along with sharing the pictures with you is the best side benefit of all.   It seems like I forgot about the suffering that makes an adventure what it is.

Gary every time I see your posts I have to go to the grocery store and buy some "fresh" Salmon.

[Darin Crofton]

Tasty critter right there, great catch, Gary!!!

[Dominick]
