Started fishing at about 12:45 today, jigged for about 15 minutes and then decided to troll due to the wind & tide picking up. Made a couple passes from green can down to the break water. As I was in the gap about to enter the start of the breakwater, I noticed a seal that had a nice size salmon in its mouth, so I decided to stay and do my laps in front of the breakwater. At about 1:30, I was the only boat out front, wind and chop had picked up, when the Coho and Pilot boat went by, it was a small break in the wave action, so I made 1 lap and was rewarded with a 10 lber, made another lap and the fight was on. Fishing solo, battling the waves, wind & current, Lime Ricky prevailed and I was rewarded with a 20lber. I put on a great show for the folks on the breakwater that were tuned in to the action.
66' Betsey, anchovie, green chrome teaser head, 2 hits, 10lber
55' Cop car flasher, anchovie, bloody nose, 1 hit 20lber
Too bad today wasn't the 26th and the derby was on. One of those days were you fish for an hour and a-half, and you're done.
