First fish to the boat was a bow-released. Next 2 fish were kokes about 2lbs each. Hooked up with a cutty but had know idea how long I was dragging it around. By 0900 the wind came and 1030 I was heading to the dock. Between the many boats and fighting the wind it was a regular circus, a BATTLE GROUND. I burned 1/2 tank of diesel roundtrip to get those fishing grounds and spent a $100 topping off after getting home. Trips this season will be very selective few & far between.
I don't remember ever having the price of fuel affect my fishing plans. Going to the coast this year would cost me at least $1100 just for truck gas. Not counting motel, license, boat gas, etc, etc. Not sure I'll be going. Even a trip to Strawberry is going to cost over $80. Crazy!
Single main, no kicker.
