Eric battling a large thresher and releasing a coho

This is my third try to reply.  Not sure why my first ones never made it.  Anyway, Eric thank you for the great trip!  You're an excellent guide.  Patient, knowledgeable and a skilled knot tier     Being new to the sport and only out on the blue in a kayak twice I was super excited and nervous at the same time.  The cove is a beautiful place.  Not just the fishing but the scenery and kind people as well.  The fishing really blew me away.  Although the action wasn't non-stop, when the bite was on it was like no other.  Salmon, perch, rock fish, sharks, lings and halibut all within a span of an couple hours.  As nice as it would have been to land a limit of kings, the experience of battling an acrobatic coho peeling line with ease is equally satisfying.  I've pulled in my share of salmon from charter boats but nothing compares to the thrill of doing it inches off the water.  Like you said in your post, you can see the determination in their eyes to evade capture when you first get them up close to your boat or if your lucky and skilled enough close to your net.  Definitely not something you get after tiring them out behind a powerboat.  Until next time, I've got lots of fresh fillets and stories to share with friends and family.  Thanks again.

Yep, I've been keeping an eye on it.   Definitely choosing to postpone this trip.  Its a shame, my availability to get out this time of year is really limited.  Too much fun stuff to do, duck hunting, pyramid lake fishing,,, then there's the honey do's that consume about 90% of my free time.

Ace hardware sells a buck lid with a screw top,  I use that in my car if it has water in it.

this really bums me out  , I was looking forward to my first time out on my kayak.  After seeing the forecast and speaking with another member, best choice is to post pone.  I'll be out on the jetty with the kiddo tossing snares.

Hey there,  hope all is well. 

I'm was wondering if anyone is planning to fish out of Fort Ross the weekend of the 7th.  I'm hoping to be out there Saturday but I don't have a fishing buddy.  I (and my wife as well) would feel safer if I can meet up with one or two fellow anglers just to know someone will have my back and vise verse if something goes wrong.  I'm a good swimmer and PADI certified diver with plenty of experience in the blue but I won't lie, I do get nervous being out by myself.  Not looking for anyone to hold my hand, just want to know I won't be out there by myself.  Let me know, feel free to pm me.  Take care, tight lines!
