Hey Sculpin, sorry I missed you guys while you were south of the border. I went to the shows on Friday with goatram, so it was time to kill some salmon on Saturday, which we did.......a 15,13,and 2- 8 pounders in the San Juans.
Goatrams homemade bait and bleed barrels definately served their purpose. I went with him on the tin lizzy a few times and was impressed with how well they worked, especially the bleed barrel.
I'm slowly gaining momentum and gathering some great stuff to be donated to the tuna shootout. Good to see you guys gearing up for the main event. Remember, those with the most tackle are usually those with the best tackle, so make sure you get a few of each lure, cause just like salmon fishing, there's always a few lures that work better than others.
What you need John is a warm-up session just prior to the shootout and I have an idea that will do just that. You and your Tofino buddy need to come down here for a 1 day shot on a tuna charter boat....$350 for a day trip out of ilwaco on a 56 foot 18' beam party boat that takes 10 guests per trip. They carry 10 scoops of bait and when they find fish it's game on feeding frenzy with most every rod hooked up. Last year we loaded the boat with 147 before noon. This year I have the same date (mid sept.) and I reserved the whole boat and I have a few spots unclaimed if you're interested.
You got my number John, so mull it over. We'd love to have a few BC boys on the trip to show us all how it's done.
