Shelter Cove - 5/28/20

My first guest for the season at the Cove was my good friend Dave from Honeydew. A few years back I had the honor of taking he and his wife Aniza out at Trinidad where we had a blast breaking them in to kayak angling offshore. Dave did a followup run with me last summer and got his first salmon along with the usual assortment of rockfish and lingcod. We recently got this trip planned out, and this past Monday's shark incident at the Cove didn't change our focus. It was Dave's birthday and the eve my own, and that, combined with the pleasure of being in a position to guide my friend on a foggy ocean, meant that we would share a day of celebration - no matter what we caught.

Working together to get a fat 16 pound Chinook in the net was the highlight of our fishing day.

You get a birthday once a year, but every day is a new opportunity to live life to the fullest. Don't put off your desire to engage yourself in adventure and the spirit of brotherhood.

Nice work.  .  Missing fishing.   

Great job Eric and Dave. Looks like a great day

thanks for the reminder of what's out there!

Thanks for the report and pictures Eric.
