Sounds like a wonderful day, our salmon season starts on Sat but the ocean
is kicked up right now. I hope it lays down so I can take my new to me boat
out for it's first fishing adventure. They are forcasting 10 foot swells
every 9 sec's or so which is too much popcorn on the water for this
westcoaster.

good boating to all

Left Deale, MD, at 6:30, had lines in the water by 7:15, and had the
first fish
at 8:00. Caught this guy about 2 miles north of #83 in 48-50 feet of
water. He
bit a chartreuse parachute running deep (additional 8oz of weight besides
the
tandem lures). After a decent struggle, got him to the boat and managed to
get
him in the net. This one was a 38"er, so landing it by myself turned out
to be
more work than I'd imagined. Luckily there was very little wind, so the
boat
just stayed nicely on course.

Wasted gas around the same area for another couple hours. Lots of marks,
but no
take downs. Talked to a friend out of Breezy Point, and decided to head
south.
Got a couple miles south of #83, and decided to call it a day. Pulled
three
lines in, and went for the last one. Cranked it about 5 times and down she
went!
I'm hoping this is a nice 25"er or so, just to cap a nice day. But, the
line is
leaving the reel much to fast for a 25"er. After another nice fight, I
finally
got this guy in the boat. Turned out to be somewhere between 41 and 42
inches.
Darn! Held him over the side for a minute or two and he took to life
again. I
think he said his name was Fred, so if you catch a 42"er this year, ask
him what
his name is. Tell him PocoLoco says "hi".

Was good talking to Hookin' Up and Jon on the radio. Hope y'all did well.
