Goble time

Yup! It's Goble time again.....

Line was set.....



Werblers were set....



Hair was set.....



Stella was set.....



Crew was set.....



And all we ended up doing was sitting.......

Coho time on the Santa Cruz!

Made an early run out to the Coho grounds yesterday.




Hopes were high and the first hit the deck shortly after deploying.
Ole Ridiculai doing his thing.



After it was all said and done, the tenth fish hit the deck at 0830 and we headed home.

Whilst Chris cleaned up the mess 10 fish can make on a nice boat...




Roberto hurriedly made hookup plans for the evening.



We stopped off at Gnoc's abode and filletedededed the salmons up.



Good times

Nehalem time

Started off the day with good friends and good weather.


Wasn't long after shove off Steve was hankering for a Rockstar...



Good thing we always party like a Rockstar....


I had a couple Rockstars and had to hit the bucket, Robert took over the wheel in my absence.



After draining the vein, I took a look at that flat ocean and pointed the bow West...


We went out to 170 feet of water and deployed..


We had our way with the salmon and even some bottom fish, Gnoc and his Lingcod


Great day, and a welcome site at the end of a day on the ocean!

What a day

So the boys and I decided to do some Columbia bankie fishing this weekend. We hooked 6 and landed 3 and it was quite the day. Here is the best story from it....


I took this picture because I thought it was a nice shot, litle did I know what was going to unfold in mere seconds.

The rod pounds down as I am hitting the off button on the camera, I stand up to make a run for it, and it flies out of the holder and into the river! We see the fish jump and the rod disappears into the depths. Gnoc....



can't believe one of his rod and reels is gone. Blames went out and Robby got the brunt of it.


Steve was just like, what the _____?



Than! 2 hours later and 100 yards down river, some guys start yelling....




"we got your rod!"

Rob runs down there and sure enough they have the rod. They pull it in and the fish is still on it! It gets landed and released and Rob sighs some relief as he no longer has to buy Gnoc a new set up.



Good times!!!
