Salmon Season Day 5 - went ab diving...

The word's still SLOW on the salmon front.  Quite a few people fished halibut today.  The ocean was awesome.  I hooked up with some NCKA types for an ab dive.  It was a good time and really nice to be on the water, but I missed my yak.   

I'm fishing tomorrow on a charter.  Hopefully the Day 6 report will have some silver...

Nice combo fish & ab.  Thanks for the report and pictures Eric.  Good luck tomorrow on the party boat.

Man, I gotta get out more, looks like a great day all around, good times good people,

thanks for the report, I'm wishing you salmon on the barbie tomorrow nite

Nice I really like reading your reports.  The only thing I don't like is when people sidetrack them with their opinions about the salmon population.  Some people should really start their own post if they feel what they have to say is so important.  Then I wouldn't have to read them. Thanks again Abking.  Keep up the reports.  Andy

Looks like a great time...thanks for sharing!!!

Good luck with the Salmon quest!!!!!!!

Sincerely,

Jim

Well, you have a while 5 days left to fish again. Nice Ab snag--looks worth the day off salmon searching.

You know Eric, you've really got to start appreciating your enviroment up there more.... Virtual playground...

Sorry to hear about the lack of decent fish (salmon), but thanks for the daily updates, keep them coming. It's good to know at least you've been enjoying the water a lot lately. Hopefully a salmon while get hooked before the season's over.

You've just got me all fired up about Ab diving Eric. I am still taking it slow getting comfortable
diving so sooner or later, you may have a little buddy swimming along with you.
BTW, goodluck with the salmon chase!

Nice Eric...Very nice...I know what u mean bout not having the "yak" once u get used to it, it dosn't seem the same unless u got it along!!! Great combo!!!

waters of diversity......you are lucky to have all that in the frontyard! Thanks for the up-to-the-minute details.

Are the ab's pretty plentiful up there? Did you get any big ones? Thanks for the report abd good luck next time out.

Thanks, Guys.

Abs are sparse in Humboldt.  We didn't get any 10's, but the spot we dove has quite a few 9's.  I'd say I saw or touched several dozen abs - probably 100 and none were sub-legal.  Measured a few 9.5's and pulled a good looking 9.   

WTG Abking!
Those conditions almost make me think I could get back into cold water free diving...almost.

Come back to us from the PB Darkside as soon as you slay your king.
