It's been a busy August!

August 1st and 2nd DaveW and I had a couple of great days where we managed to catch 4 limits of salmon and landed fish on 4 different setups.  Fishing with the fleet out at the Whistle and finding our own hookups farther inside, we enjoyed a steady bite and great quality.  Eric and Verna were awesome hosts as usual at The Tides, and we got to sample the two new local eateries - the Gyppo Ale Mill and Mi Mochima Venezuelan fare.  They were both great!  Thanks, Dave, for coming back for a 3rd summer of trips where we've gotten some great fish.

August 3rd I had Coho Joe and JHFishermanX - it was their 3rd summer doing trips with me too.  Past trips have yielded multiple 10" abs, and we have caught salmon, but the big kings have eluded us.  Well, even after Dave and I rolled with limits on Wednesday and Thursday, Friday just wasn't happening for Joe, John and I.  We settled for a nice stringer of lings and rockfish, and we had a blast playing with the California halibut on barbless - must've hooked like 20 in an hour and a half.  Thanks, guys, for a great time and your friendship and support.

August 5th Jacks came to town, and it was his 4th time back with my guide service!  We all know that Terry is one of the best fishermen in this club, so it's always an honor to get to show him the current intell and fish together for a day.  Terry got his limit on a tough bite, and I kept a barely legal hatchery king after breaking off 2 big brutes - tough day, but really an indicator of how HOT things have gotten at the Cove!!  Thanks, Terry for the continued support and friendship.

August 10th CJ and Tommy/Snazzyshun came to town.  Cody had been on the GS12 pre-fish trip with me, so the theme of returning clients was still running!  I hooked a thresher that stuck early, so we got to see some jumps and the guys continued salmon trolling next to me while I got a 20 minute ride before it cut me off.  For the day we saw some fish caught by the fleet, and The Inn Keeper/Yakhopper pedaled out late and popped a king, but we couldn't get one to stick and ended a 9 hour session empty handed after releasing all rockfish and lings that day - that was a first for me with no fish to fillet for my guests at the end of the session.  Guys, I'm sorry the fish weren't on the chew for our trip - I hope you get into a salmon using what I showed you before the season ends.  Thanks for the support.

August 11th and 12th Paul/SLBuilder came back for a followup after a July trip with me where he'd fought and lost a nice salmon.  This time around Paul's bites stuck, and he landed a beauty for his first salmon at around 20 pounds.  We both got one each day, and again the quality was great.  Thanks for the support, Paul - too bad that thresher you hooked broke off on Thresher Days Weekend!

Thanks, everybody.  :smt001

My brother always enjoys his fishing trips with you. No matter how accomplished a fisherman Terry is, he is always looking for that edge. That's why he will book trips with the best guide on the North Coast.
