Threemuch Weekend Report

[Threemuch]

We got four fish plus a ling Friday, pretty average grade all around 38-45" the ling was 15 pound or so. Done by 11 or so. We also caught and released a freakish fish, that wound up being an arrowtooth flounder aka turbot. We released it because we didn't want to argue with the ODFW about if it was a halibut or not. Wound up with 9 crab, mostly pretty soft.

Saturday, we made it out to within five miles of the grounds, but the weather kept getting worse, and was approaching unfishable. I had some green looking crew, and 100 pounds of fillet in the cooler from yesterday, so I called it and we went salmonizing. Besides my entire crew was flying home, and we had more fish than they could carry. Long story short, We put three chinook in, 15-20 pounds. Missed a bunch and farmed a HOG. A great time over all. I love when Plan B comes together. 9 more crab, still pretty soft.

I wanted to convert the tuna combo, but it wasn't in the cards, too much weather. Oh, well, maybe next time.

Hey Kurt, is your friend Mark C in one of these pictures? We were corresponding for a while before I figured out he was your fishing buddy.

Nice fish; glad you got 'em. - Mark Mc

Nope. Wound up not seeing Mark. I made a decision to go to Garibaldi, shorter run, weather was supposed to be better north, had an RV there to stay in, and those guys decided that Newport was as far as they were willing to drive. They whacked the fish though. I think they got 8 to 62 pounds at the ranch.
