Northside salmon finale

3 miles WSW of Muir 12lb hen on herring fbr 2lb ball



Swell was big but tame and the wind never showed. This is looking back at what was going under most of the day, some bigger some smaller




Muir was big in the a.m. but looked like this in the afternoon



here's to the fish



unexpected dividend

Nice work! Anyone else out there catching - besides you?

How heavy are those pots? You were able to pull it al the way up, huh? Snagging a bunch of dungies...those are small odds, and maybe even a  better catch than a salmon! What happened to the pot?

blue-you are the salmon master...NICE!

I agree.  I bet you'd hammer any of SoCal's toughest guys in a hardcore ocean kayak fishing duel.  

I love the bloody hood on your car man, that is a great pic!

Very nice job. What kind of kayak have you got there?

How do you like the Tarpon 160? Im in the market for a new kayak. Ive got a Malibu Extreme. Its incredibly stable but a bit sluggish and slow when you take it offshore - the bottom is just too flat. Last spring I took it some 3 - 4 miles offshore out at Santa Cruz to go after salmon and basically pooped out after the paddle. I want a kayak thats faster, longer, more sleek to go after salmon bites 3 mi plus offshore.

Im thinking about getting the Tarpon 160 or possibly something like the Capehorn 170.

Have you ever thought about rigging a sit in inside touring kayak for salmon fishing? How fast is that Tarpon 160???

By the way, love that Outback. Thats my dream car.
