Hey sailfish!
Great pics! Thanks.

You even got a pic of the crazy Cove guy playing the drum/kettle.  
I wanted to tell you that you took his ribbing pretty well. He was getting to be annoying with all the personal questions about your job and income and whatnot. I mean, who the hell asks someone they just met about their annual income?!

And thanks again for those tasty crabs!

It's a full moon night ...

Hi PK,

I think he just curious about life outside the cove since he lives there over 30 years and don't have much contact with "outside" world. 

Speaking of the crabs, here is the picture of them 

Hang gliding anyone?

Great pics, Sonny!  I like the one with the Shelter Cove tripper around your campfire - Chris is looking pretty scorched in that one!     Looks like you guys had some sweet flat water on Sunday.  You're the man for paddling a Mini-X all the way to the whistle - way to go - wish you guys would've hooked up.

It was a gorgeous day, I had a great time hunting the fish.  I did hooked a salmon on the way to the bell buoy at about 35ft deep and had it on the hook for several minutes.  The long story was ... I forgot the downrigger release clip, so I hooked the Apex lure directly to the sinker (I just want to test the manual downrigger operation since I just installed it recently) and troll toward the bell buoy.  Around 45ft deep, I saw bait fishes everywhere on my fish finder and my down rigger making noise, I tried to crank-up but it's not easy with one hand.  I was able to crank-up about 20 feet and all of a sudden it went limped and I knew the fish got off!  I switched to the deep-six trolling with anchovies but no fish from then on.  Hawk and I got back to shore around 12:30pm and later I heard from the marine radio that the action was slow until around 3:30pm when they're catching them around the whistle area but I was ready to head back home.  I'll be back ... There's always a next time ...
