Deckhand informed me this morning it was actually 52. Which explained why him and I each took a couple of fish home.

So very true. And very well timed post. Been dealing with an electrical gremlin on the boat lately and today I had no auto all day. I'm so friggen worn out it's ridiculous

During summer salmon season I'd typically fish a fly until it was dead, then retire it. I don't go through enough flies during a salmon season to really care about saving each and every last one. I also don't ever change colors or patterns, so I typically fish 1 fly for days on end before...

Ya would probably be a good way to go. They should be able to get you dialed into exactly what you'd need for your boat and electronics. Not cheap of course, but my god so worth it.

Tuna fishing is off to an incredible start out here! Nothing but great fishing for all of our boats every trip thus far, but today things got absolutely stupid. Started off way inside of the area we have been fishing, and picked up just a few random fish. Then an hour or so lull as we worked a...

Auto pilot doesn't mean you just set it and forget it with your speed. It just steers the boat. You work the throttles as needed. I run on auto every day, but my right wrist gers a serious workout on the throttles! The biggest advantage of auto IMO, beyond saving fuel, is that with an auto...

Honestly, use whatever you want in the ocean. It really doesn't matter. I've been running the oldest, crustiest flashers I can dig up, and been fishing ridiculous flies tied with Easter grass, and absolutely crushing fish this season. I'm more convinced than ever that none of the silly...

I really haven't seen any pattern to bluefin. Most bluefin I've heard of being caught in a single day, along with a good number of yellowtail, was a day in late September. Of course I've seen plenty caught in July/August as well. Just haven't seen any real pattern either way. Seems like...

Tuna were caught out of Westport yesterday. Mark and some of our crew ran out and took a look. What they found was very encouraging.

Jeff Head can hold lots of food and fish at times, but it's not the only place to find those fish. Those things move around a ton, especially this time of year. If you aren't catching in a short while, it's time to move. Last week Ira picked me up in Kingston and we didn't make it more...

Came home after halibut fishing yesterday and did a little fish fry for my wife and I tonight. Did mine with sweet and smoky pork rinds for the "batter". Turned out super tasty. Nice alternative to carb heavy batter

I'm gonna remember you typed this when we finally find that patch of 100+ lb bluefin boiling on the surface. ;)

Yep, nice and short. Make that shit move Considering how many salmon were trying to eat our flounder while catching bait this morning, including a bunch of chinook that came up short and a surprise 5 lb coho that succeeded and was released at the boat, maybe we're going about this all wrong...

Hell ya! Nice work Ed!

I've been told by a few forum members that the day I caught my first topwater albacore I was mildly excited....but I dunno, I think may be exaggerating Honestly I get pretty damned excited when I'm fishing. Whether it's 15" rezzies or 35 lb albacore, fishing tends to get me excited. Any...

Absolutely. That would be perfect

I've never targeted striped marlin, or any marlin for that matter, but I've seen a few up here and from everything I've been told about them my guess is that your 12 would be just fine. However, "just fine" is likely not where Id like to be sitting when heading into an unknown trip like that so...

I remember when driving a Hyundai was only for the poor and downtrodden. Now I can't afford one. My how times have changed.

I've never eaten a tomahawk, but every time I see a picture like that it sure makes me want to!
