ugly day for sure but still fun. scott. tried to help us with the anchoring procedures but just too fast current. a real gentleman who hopefully will be kind enough to help us again. thanks again scott talk again soon
Started the morning off with salmon on the bank there was a decent bite we had 5 nice fish to the boat 10-13lbs got sealed once and lost the others not a great landing percentage but my guys were still happy playing them, then we put the pick down and loaded the boat 5 haly two in the high 30's and the rest 50-55lbs so ended up the day great. Could it get any wetter out there, a buddy phoned and asked how my day was i said eat a sandwich under your shower turned on cold.lol The haly were salmon bellies for me today.

Was out today salmon on the bank was good fish to 15lb most were 7 to 11 but also lost fish to sea loin and a seal, the sea loin came from under the boat just as I was going to net crap . Then drop the anchor for a short window had two hallys in 5min. Then two more hallys in one hour ,28, two ,mid 30 one,mid 40 also let go one dog,one scate .All in all a great day for first hally trip .Also a bigger hally almost rip the rod out the rod holder on rigger,but did have a safety line thanks wolfy it really helped the hally broke the 60 lb leader must have a nick on line .
Finally a nice warm calm day! The fishing was good as well got a short window in the morn for haly and did well, there was a few more doggies around than before .Then we switched to salmon at the bank and it was decent had the best screamer of the year so far ,thought it was a seal till it finished it's first run but then turned into a beauty 17lb mature hatch job. The salmon were full of needle fish, and were caught on pink and purple haze squirts .
Some springs happening off of CLover right now,Anchovy was the ticket.
Was good today. Quick limit of halis for my guys, and bonked a nice fat hatchery doe off Constance for me, and the flag pole for was good for someone else. So much for the storm, it was great out there.
