HBO - 7/22/16 - "Carn at the Tip" - Video Added

Domenic and I got on it this morning to catch the last day of a flat spell and to hopefully get some salmon redemption since we skunked yesterday.  It was like the Good Ol' Days out of Humboldt Bay!  We saw Sarah and Jeremy Kingstrom and Cameron Pascual out there, and the kayak crew had the tip of the South Jetty to ourselves to start the morning.  The Tip, as it's now been named on my list of amazing places to fish, has really been the center of some hot salmon activity this week, and today we cracked the code a bit in terms of how to pick up nice salmon on the mooch.  Much time and study goes in to developing techniques for hooking bait to be hung as invitations for hungry but very finicky salmon, and Domenic got us on an impressively effective method today.  Thanks for cutting me in on your science, brother - way to think outside the tacklebox. 

Jeremy started off the catching with a really nice one in the bag, then Dom bags an early limit of beauties, then he feeds me leaders as I catch a second Dungeness (LOL) and then go on to catch my limit in like 20 minutes.  What a morning and what a great time with good friends.  We headed back to launch for beer brunch and filleting fish, and I heard later that the rest of the morning crew got on a few more chromers to finish their day too - WTG, Sarah, Jeremy and Cam!

Humboldt is happening right now - watch for the next flat water coming...

I avoided the crowds and caught one at high tide with shorts and tshirt in less than 10ft of water.  I had 3 friends from Columbia over who enjoyed fresh salmon for the first time.

That's just awesome, congrats boys.....wish I could sneak over, too busy right now but may have to find a way to clear my schedule !

Thanks for the fish adventures!
