Finally a decent fishing report to pass on. Possession Point, 5:30-8am. Netted a 15 and 18 pounder, both at 65', one on purple haze flasher and teaser, one gold betsy and green glow. Then got a double header, my wife's fish got taken by a huge sealion right at the boat....lost the gear and about half a reel's line by the time she got the knife to it. On my side, got it to the boat, it was a biggie, around 30 is my guess ... but it did a final lazy twist, I glimpsed its big fat belly for a moment, then the hook was shook and it was gone.
Still, pretty exciting morning fishing ... my wife's first chinooks and a great fishing tale to go with it. I think I have a new fishing buddy!
[Zed: that was my experience with my wife years ago, when she last tried salmon fishing....reeled backwards and we lost a good one. Now, with any fishing newbies on single action reels, I always do a little dockside training session...."I'm the fish, you reel....now let go....now reel....etc"

Nice fish you guys. I can't even get Danita to go with me. You will have to tell her how much fun it was.
