Can confirm! Haha it’s friggin painful to watch as he bombs out a perfectly aimed cast only to get cut down half way with a running line knot stuffed in the first guide, ouch !

Thanks! It’s a Devlin Candlefish 16, a wooden stitch and glue kit I built about 11yrs ago.

The pinks were just being snotty today for whatever reasons, full sun, fast current (aka their freeway), all the boats/anglers pressure, who knows how many they’ve passed through by the time they got to us. When we found them in an open area without any boats nearby they preferred flies over...

Fished again today on @jasmillo boat, a gorgeous sunrise gives way to a much calmer day today. We caught a couple of pinks on the run out with quick buzzbomb casts, an appetizer if you will. Continued to run to the main course and found a lot of pinks and a few surprise coho in the mix. Pinks...

Looks hot as hell :) how was the fishing?

Who is this that’s all ready for a man overboard scenario?

It was a lot of running around in the kidney bruising chops until we can find lanes that the pods cruise by. The fishing is good when you are in that golden zone but it doesn’t last forever, they’ll change things up and you have do start all over again :)

Good point, I guess mono isn’t a disadvantage out there with nothing abrasive around and easier to tie knots with too.

I tried both on this trip, but only the smaller slim baitfish got the bites. I’ve caught fish on bigger articulated squid before on the slide/strip.

I have approx 6ft total length. I lost a fish at the bloodknot junction between 40lb and 30lb fluoro, my fault for maxing out the drag and not letting it run some more. Next time I’ll just do straight 30lb, I used 40lb because I didn’t want the leader to cut into the fly line loop too much.

We saw that big pod of northern right whale dolphins on the way back yesterday as well. They were leaping out of the water, looks like big lanky looking black seals.

@Tallguy bring this on your next trip, those eagle eyes are not useful if you call out the fish clock directions all wrong 🤣

I saw that dorsal fin and it was big for being far away.

Fun day with @jasmillo @Tallguy @ffb , @Nick Clayton first fly trip of the season I believe. Started pretty slow, then the action heated up for a while then slowed again before heading home but not without a couple of last minute fish to a total of 17. Nick helped put several in the boat as...

Squids for tuna.

Thanks to your observations we were able to get those fish farther out. A boat was crucial to reach them.

Took my son and nephew to fish humpies today, slow at first until slack low jumpers showed up with regularity. It was a run and gun operation zipping back and forth to put them within buzzbomb range. The boys had a fun time seeing huge pods of salmon swimming below the boat chasing their lures...

We saw a light spat between one boat and another motored sailboat this morning, both fishing. Pretty slow today, pinks are around but not in huge numbers yet.

Yeah not sure what that’s about!
