Given the big moon and tides of the week, I decided to try somewhere different as I suspected the fish had likely scattered. Off to Swale at about 7:30 in the morning.
As I was dropping the second line I hit a screamer! Absolutely not prepared for that! I caught up to him briefly, he turned and peeled nearly 2/3 of the line from the freshly spooled Islander. Turned and started back at me - I never did catch up...
Wow. Lets get that gear back down there!
Instantly fish on! Jodi battles this beauty to the side of the boat, 17lbr. Reset the gear, flip the boat and another fish on. As Jodi starts the fight, the second rod dips and starts peeling line, double header!!!
The ladies do a great job of finessing the twin 19lb fish to the Grady and within 30 mins we are sitting on about 55lbs of the sweetest spring salmon you can find worldwide BAR NONE!
We hook another, this guy just legal so release him for another day. Continue fishing for about an hour for just a couple of shakers, the bite has gone off.
I guess the time for first light has come. Right on!
We spent the rest of the day just cruising through the broken group, soaking up sun and watching the porpoises and humpback whales put on a show.
This summer is going to be amazing. Hope to see you here.
