TOP SECRET

Mike are those tshirts or the columbias?

ER, thanks for the recipe! https://youtu.be/O5FjcR0dukM

Ok, I heard from a lot of people asking about more formal Salmon Slam shirts this year along with the tshirts. The Sodus Point Fudge and Gifts Shop is working with us in ordering Columbia Bahama II short sleeve shirts with the Salmon Slam logo on the back. Each shirt will cost $35 and will be white, with the logo on back. That's actually $5 under retail for just a plain shirt thanks to Dick at the Fudge Shop! Here is what the shirts will look like... I will need all orders in by July 14th in order to have them in time for the Salmon Slam. If you don't mind getting them after the Salmon Slam, I can take your order whenever.

I skinned it, but will still try this tonight! I can't wait a day or two due to travel, but hopefully it will still be good!

Yeah the currents really picked up when the East wind started!

We started a couple of miles west and ended a mile or two east. We don't really ever travel too far, normally stay close to port.

Nice fish! We couldnt find the big guys today, but by the size of the marks we saw on our way in, next weekend will be a good one!

Been there done that, never fun. The BoatUS trailer insurance is the best $14 a year I spend... almost gaurantees nothing will happen, just like buying a snow blower!

Hey Rich. We actually eat very little of the fish, I wish we liked it more and ate more of it. We give 95% of it away. We often share our catch with the other fisherman at the marina that may not have had luck and the rest goes to friends, family, and coworkers. None goes to waste and if we find someone we gave it to wastes it, their name gets scratched from our list.As for what you called a gaffe, that is the wrong term. Gaffes are illegal. What we have is a fish holder that we use to more easily handle the fish. If the fish are small and going back we try to use just the pliers, if they are netted and going back we try to use just the pliers and a gentle push out of the tuna door. My wife uses the holder for any fish she holds as she doesn't like to touch them. I still believe the holders do less damage, as long as you are careful, than most people putting their fingers in the gill plate. And for those without tuna doors, there really isn't a safer option. No problem on asking questions. Not everyone wants to keep fish and that is up to them. Not everyone likes our pics of "meat racks" and that is up to them. For us, they bring fond memories and a sense of accomplishment and pride of being able to share the hobby we love, with those we love, through sharing fillets. Off my soap box, and onto a meat rack...

Nice little steelie on a sequest spoon.

That last fish is always the hardest to get! A lot of big hooks following, but the East wind kicked up and they just arent hungry. Time to head in.

Reminder to self, self dont get lazy! Just pulled our rigger lines wondering why we havent gotten that rigger to go again, must have been 10lbs of fleas on the line.

Ok so heres the deal with videos... they work on the old software version, but you cant post videos until you upgrade. Theresa upgraded, but now can't watch the videos

Lots of hooks in 140fow, keep streaking up to look, but no takers. I hate to change out the rig that took 4 of our fish, but might have to!

My depthraider is all dorked up. I can only read down 50ft, which is 65F.
