Had a month long trip up this year. I love having money now. Work sucks but money sure doesn't.
To keep things simple, did well. Caught everything, and I mean everything, there is to catch off the Oregon Coast. Albicore Tuna, Halibut, Ling, Cabbie, about 10 species of Rock fish, surfperch, a striped bass, kings, chinooks, and a blue shark. Even had an honest, extremely rare Mahi Mahi(Dorado) on. Right to the boat and pulled off. Filled out my angling tags completely on nice Coho's and Chinooks(Coho's were about 4-10#, 20-30" long; two Chinooks were 38 and 43" respectively, around 30# mark) and Halibut. Got to work on a boat for the first time, too. I think I'm moving next spring. lol

Tuna were amazingly close. Closest all trip was around 5 miles; farthest total 22. Closer than halibut, actually, which made it kinda nice.

All in all a great trip once again. Not a lot of pics, but here they are.
