SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS

====================

Fished with Patty today. Tried to get out last night with Stacey and a couple friends but a bit too bumpy for dinner and fishing. Left port at 5:45 this mornings and set up in 140 just a little east. Did best in the 170 foot range - all fish within 1/2 mile radius - nothing outside that area. A very active morning. Missed two - one shot on the wire and one on the rigger. Wire was out 190 - 210. Could not get the "c-****" to fire with spin doctor or e-chip flashers in various colors.... perhaps next time. Last fish was a skip we must have dragged a while. Biggest was 20.06 on DEC scale three hours after caught. Not sure it lost much. Only one lamprey mark on one of the salmon. The steelies were 4,7 and 9 pounds -god i love catching them!

Thanks to Joe Toomey for some tips on fishing the Oak as we are newbies up there aside from an occasional visit. We are really enjoying it! Nice to put a face to CBish as well.
