Awesome day for the opening Wednesday. Got out with the family later than I would have liked but was happy to just get out fishing. Weather report was for a strong wind warning but the Columbia cam was showing calm water so getting out late morning my expectations were to have the wind come up probably just as I arrived to launch lol. Ended up in the water about 1030 or just after and caught the tail end of the tide change, was happy to see flat water and parking for the trailer. Trolled inside the humps and out, very slow so missed the morning bite. Was super hot weather with slow fishing and seemed like wind was gonna stay down so went and anchored up for a swim with the boy. Hung out until about 230 and set back up trolling for the afternoon tide. Picked up 4 fish in pretty short time, had the first one hammer off the rigger and peeling out, took almost to backing, my eight year old played it perfectly and caught himself a unicorn lol a 20lber at exactly 80cm. Was an fish absolute football, hit on a chartreuse flasher and homeland security spoon. I got super lucky and picked up another 80cm fish that weighed in at 15 fell victim to a 6 inch blueish plug as did 2 other springs a 13 and 10. Pretty sweet afternoon troll, was running the plug around 180.
