SC June 9

Code 3 and Mr Matt came a visitin this morning.  I got to test run my new/old Ultra 4.7 Felt a little tippy after a year on the Predator PDL.. Great to paddle again, though my old FF isn't working for shit.  I used frozen herring for just one RF until a PB buddy out there gave me four pieces of squid.  got a few more RF (all released) and then lucked into this 30" flatty. She came up strong and slow. EZ Gaff and stringer. Came in feeling like a new man!

Nice Butt  . Thanks for the report and pictures Bushy.

nice! hoping to get out there Friday or Saturday

Good stuff! Catching a good fish sure can feel rejuvenating.

Great looking halibut.

Great catch, Mr. No-Longer-Bushy!

I was out today too, so I hope you don't mind if I piggyback on your report...

I launched at 5:14am and was back at the dock at 11:45am. I went out to about 120 fow, then I let the wind take me where it would as I trolled for salmon, then eventually switched over to do a little bottom bouncing. The wind pushed me to south rock(ish) and then in closer on the west side, and eventually switched for a good sail back to the harbor. Same old story, no sign of salmon, no halibut, but a bunch of rockfish. I also landed 3 lingcod, and 2 of them seemed barely legal, but my measuring device is not too accurate, and I was worried bout shrinkage (its real!), so I didn't keep them.

Btw, it was pretty much ideal conditions for sail trolling. I only pedaled hard when heading out to in the morning, and then maybe for 45 minutes when he wind briefly died. It was a bit gusty at times, and the direction wasn't always ideal, but it was about as good as it gets for lazy trolling...

Nice haul.  Thanks for the report and pictures NM.

Nice butt, nice boat. Congrats, Bushy!

Is this your first of the season ?

Are you Bushless? 

Either way your a Sexy Beast !!!

Nice catches y’all
I bet it was a nice day

I may have to brak tradition. I have a TV rduction in a few weeks 'adventure series'.  My wife insists I keep my beard, but must trim it.  She's been on my the past few weeks for brading my beard while watching Netflix.  I think it looks cool.  She does not.  At all.
