Wife and I just returned from four weeks fishing the Columbia River and offshore in True Blue. What a fabulous year! Guessing we had over 60 take-downs and boated many of the hatchery salmon. Released all wilds and lost more than we boated. Used anchovies in previous years, but shifted to the new plastic spin n fish & Brads this year. Caught more than in previous years by far.WOW! looks like you had a great trip, congratulation.
Turned 87 this year. Ocean was very rough and I’m thinking it’s time to give up on those “hands and knees only” days on the ocean. I will miss it but this will likely be our last year.
Here’s some pictures.
