This will be a much shorter fishing report, but I’m including it for completeness.
Arthur went out fishing, but I did not. He went out with his friend Jeff, who has a bigger boat and runs charter fishing trips. Arthur was hoping to get some halibut.
Apparently, he did! That’s good. They went out on the open ocean, where I dare not go with the smaller boat. He said there were 10 foot swells. Sounds swell. Anyway, Jeff helped Art get some halibut, apparently. Art was very vague on details, as is his way.
The coho continued playing hard-to-get, though – so it’s not just us. Everyone’s having a hard season, salmonwise.
It was very convenient: Jeff drove his boat over from his house to our house, picked Arthur up at the dock at 6:15 AM, and dropped him back off at 4:30 PM. Valet service.
Jeff and Art are going out tomorrow, too.
Year-to-date totals.
- Coho: 21
- Halibut: 3
- Lingcod: 1
Good to hear Art caught some halibut. If Jeff is not finding salmon the fishing is tough! I would not want to be in Arts boat in 10’ swells. Good call!
