I haven’t see the official thread started. If it has been I will delete.

Anyway. Plan on doing a shakedown on Friday. Although it may be a little chilly.

Made it out on Friday. 17 degrees at launch. 2 rods nothing. Trolled and anchored. Nothing. Still trying to get familiar with the new boat. Def going to need drift socks when sitting on the hook. Might give it another go this weekend.

Got my motors service this week. So I might try and spin a herring this weekend.

Fished the last couple days out of Cathlamet. Had a bunch of bites that didn’t take and lost a couple on the boat. Was out with the gf and her young boys. So they were excited even though we only kept 2 fish!!
