HMB Salmon non-yak

Last minute trip to HMB with John/ben's yak on his Sea Ranger.

We started at 21/36 with the rest of the fleet just after sunrise. After a slow start and a farmed hog, we heard of good reports to the south. Heading towards 14/32, John noticed some good marks on the sounder and we started trolling a couple of miles short of our destination. It was steady, constant action after that. Too bad that we were rusty from the winter break and farmed the next 3 fish.    We made up for it by bringing in the next four with the largest being ~30". 

Pink is on the menu!

Sweet!  You're an animal!

Nice work dude! 
What was the setup, depth and speed?

Krill fish?

Mixture of WMA, FBR and blue krippled anchovy. Depth ranged from 30-60' otw at 40 fathoms.

Krill fish?

Yup, native and they came in hot too!

Same here but about 8 miles north of ur position. 9 hooked and 3 landed. Fish where really fisty. Weather was great! Defenetly doable on the yak. Winds picked up around 2 pm.

all hooked on watermelon apex 60ft on the wire.

Thanks for the reports and congrats on the Pinks guys.

great catch, thanks for the intel on the working apex.

As long as you were in the area, they hit practically everything today! I farmed one only to have another one hit before setting the rod down on the reset... then proceeded to farm that one too! Opening weekend jitters.

Props go to John who kept us on top of the krill all day.

Great report. Nothing beats pink on the opener!!!!

WTG, Private boat I take it?

OMG. Somebody need a netting lesson.

*time to bust out the wasabi/soy*

2nd time will be much better.  The GoPro was attached to the net without any flotation so I was a little paranoid.
