the skunk is finally off! - 7/3/12

the skunk is finally off! - 7/3/12

my oldest daughter graduated from high school this last month, so it's time for a little quality time with dad.  she invited one of her best friends to come along.  she and christina have known each other since grade school.  we launched out of moss landing, headed to 51 and 55 like everyone else. 





we ran hoochies and dodgers all day, 70 feet on the wire.  on the first hookup, the drive shaft for the daiwa line counter snapped at the base so i had to handline in the first fish.  it was christina's first salmon ever.  my daughter allison was up next and her next 3 bites were hit and runs.  she was getting a little frustrated.  we finally landed a dink, so now allison had a fish.  we continued to troll a large area from 50 to 51 lat and 50 to 55 lon.  the next four fish weighed out at 15 pounds dressed. 



gas for the vehicle, $50, gas for the boat, $80, the smile on a kid's face, priceless. 

Thanks for the report and pictures Alan. It's always nice to spend quality times with the love ones. Once again, thanks for the report.
