Ahoy there one and all!
This was another Summer Saturday of Salmon Slamen!!
We have had some slow fishing this week off of Pacifica so I started to head up to Marin headlands as there were some good scores up there this week. After fishing for the past 6 weeks off of Muscle rock and Pacifica i though i would go up and join the "Parking lot" along the Marin coast. Well i got a call from one of the private boats out of our harbor (Manual on the Gravy) telling me he had already caught two fish when i was abeam of muscle rock. Well it took me all of about 5 seconds to change my plans and go back to where I have been fishing for so long!!! After putting the lines i the water we were rewarded with a hook up almost immediately!
We then preceded to feed a fur bag two more. But, after having a stare down contest with the captain the sea lion decided I was meaner ( and probably more ugly than him) and left us alone.
We then had a slow spell for an hour or so. Around 11 am things started to pick up again with a single fish here and then a double there. By noon we were having some great action with the fish hooking and loosing a few. Then around 12:30 they really turned on! We caught 23 fish by quarter to one and i thought we had limits so i had everyone pull there line while Heather ( the deckhand ) counted the fish! Well it turned out that we needed one more for the customers to have full limit's so i told everyone to put the lines back in. I was working a rod on the bow for a guy who was a "little under the weather". I got the rod down about 15 feet when it was darn near yanked out of my hands by a salmon! Walking the fish to the back of the boat hollering to the fellow to come and get his fish when he said Captain please for the love of god land it and take me home!!! Everyone roared with laughter and even the captain got to play a fish on this great day!!!
What a great way to end a great summer time bight! Heading back to the dock was a great trip as I was swapping some stories with the head of the charter Who is sure to be back for another day of great fishing aboard the RIPTIDE!!!
Thanks !
Capt. Smitty
