Default A mere mortal again...

Welp, it had to happen sooner of later. :depressed:

I bought my boat only days short of being exactly one year ago. I know this is hard to believe, but I had never been skunked...until today. Fished salmon all day and couldn't even get a nibbler. Wait a minute. I did catch two sculpin. Does that count?
I considered heading out over the bar for a quicky bottom fishing trip, but I knew this day would have to happen sooner or later. So I chose to let it happen today.

Tomorrow I will start a new run.

Hmmm... it could be worse I guess.... you could be a Tuna virgin again and we'd have to sacrifice you!

Happens to the worst of us MY! :grin:

Fair winds, calm seas and tight lines!

Yeah, it was definitely a daybreak bite. I hooked the first fish within 15 seconds letting my line out, ended up loosing it, but the wife landed a nice 20 lber about 10 minutes later. We ended up 2 for 4 on the day. I'm looking at going bobber fishing during the week this week if you're interested. Probably wednesday or so. I know lepper will be in.
