We talked about it, we planned for it, and it finally happened...The Spouse Trip! Mr. & Mrs. Ogrejager joined Mr. & Mrs. Reel Knotty aboard the yet-to-be-named 21' Seahawk and we went in search of Tuna.
Up at 0 dark 30 on Tuesday 7th the and out the door. The made our way to Depoe Bay and launched around 5:30 in the morning (was already a busy little port at that time). Seas were pretty nice with some fog near shore and we made our way out about 6:45 or so. We were planning on making our way toward the 61 spot, but stopped quite a bit short of that when we found a temperture edge and some water color change (but not a lot). We trolled for 1/2 hour without a hit, so decided to make our way to the banana as we had heard of some action there on the radio. Got there, and nothing...not the way Ogrejager and myself had hoped (and dreamed) this trip would start out. :crazy:
We picked up and headed toward the 61 spot and dropped the gear a little South(it is about 9 AM now...)...Whoohooo! We found one! (44 54 over 124 38)

We hit a very long dry spell after those two and trolled around a lot of other boats for a while. Not a single hit. The conditions worsened a bit and we started rocking and rolling a bit in our little boat. Niether of the spouses would say anything, but they were not feeling real great. We started trolling in and we found a double!

We circled around, and around, and around finding more fish and big smiles. We were at 44 52 over 124 33. The hot tickets were small cedar plugs with purple/black hoochies and a daisy chain that was all purple/black.

The girls fought bravely and never complained about not feeling great. The showed true salty dog spirit and got a chance to bond with their husbands on the brine. We called the day around 1 or so and started back for port.
We ended up with a very happy crew and some great fish to feed our families. The fish were of good quality with the biggest tipping the scale at 28 lbs.

After a carking session (man the girls are good at that!!) we ate dinner at Flashbacks before the trip home for a hot shower, and a great nights sleep after a fantastic trip!!
Thank you Mr. & Mrs. Ogrejager and Mrs. Reel Knotty for a trip I will remember for a long time. :applause::wave:
