Bdon - if you end up doing and schedules align I'll help with processing and clean up for the practical experience of doing it. I've never canned fish before and it seems like a good skill to learn. I'm in the outer sunset.

Cheers,

Sounds good! I really wish salmon was open because canned smoked salmon was the best.

I like join...could learn a lot...doubt its gonna be a Monday?  I'd bring my canner and a burner with my notes and notepad...I'm not trying to help clean Bushy out of his 30lbs...

It’s true Eddie,
There is Life after Halibut
Congrats on ur successful Fort session!

Amen!  My recent regret is filleted them all.  I'm sure I'll make it tasty.  I shoulda left a few whole and prepped for straight grilling.  I desire to learn the mastery of grilling and seasoning whole fish, "asian style" and "telling" my wife, "dis is da way".  I did enjoy pulling out my slow pitch gear and had all my take, less one sand dab livey, on my anchovy butterfly flat fall.  I did score a sweet china on a bright pink striped flat fall as well.  I used my heavier slow pitch rod and I'm thinking my lighter setup is up to the task next...looking at those weather windows fo da near future...hope we can fish together at some point this year...at the appointed time I"m sure...Aloha

Right on! Eddie’s getting on the Rockfish

Stoke me!  I could imagine…”I see color”…like a box o’ chocolates…I’m gettin’ closer to your neck of the woods..

“Eddie would go”  see ya’ soon brahhdah’!

I’ll be at hog island area tomorrow if you’re in the neighborhood.  Ch 69

Hola!  Drift live bait and keep it on the bottom.  Bring a sabiki and don't hook yourself.  Cut it down to 3 hooks for control of leader.  Even yesterday 4 hooks was a little zoo...don't hesitate to ask other yakkers on site that have experience how to navigate your area and what their plan is.  If they're in a muscle shirt with jeans and launching, stay far away from them...

You're gonna get all kinda intel with two threads.  Maybe I'll post a lil' here and post a lil' there...

Thanks Eric.  I hear ya' on the change is a comin' and even upon us.  Learning to grieve well, with a "new" contentment and gratitude, is my order of spiritual business within this adventure we share.  I'm always hopeful though, with moments of denial, that ecosystems are depleting.  Personally, I would hope for a sudden abundance of unexplainable bounty regarding fish counts, kelp, starfish and abalone revival.  I have hope for improved King Salmon numbers and maybe some sturgeon harvest options but not looking good presently.  Until then...fish on!
