Salmon Season Opener

I texted john the night before with a picture of my salmon net asking "should I bring this?". I knew he already had a net but he then responds with yes definitely what if we hook into a double. Well... we hooked into a triple. It was absolute madness. If we didnt have that second net I dont think we would of landed all three fish. We launched morro bay and the original plan was to fish somewhat inbetween morro and port slo but I heard word that the bite was on fire out of port slo so we decided to keep moving south. We had a terrible start to the day. One guy showed up late and hungover. It was the first time using brand new $800 a piece downriggers. Both down riggers were wired wrong and letting line out instead of bringing line in. So we had to rewire both plugs there on the boat offshore. I dropped my sunglasses in the water. I mean everything was not going our way. And then boom. Triple hook up and we put all three fish in the boat. We caught two more sammys throughout the morning and were headed in by 12. From talking to other friends on the water I believe this to be one of the best Salmon Openers in 10 years. People were killing it! I have posted a link to a video from that glorious morning that I just uploaded on my youtube channel. I honestly cant stop thinking about this and had to share. I got Sammys on my mind!!!

Wow!  Nice triple hookup.  Thanks for the report and video Chacon.

Good Times!  Way to get the triple in the boat.  You guys are loving it - we've gotta wait until late June up here for our opener.

Fun video - love the enthusiasm.  Wait 'til you get one on the yak.   

Good stuff! Encouraging news
