Dogfish,

Glad to hear you did good this year. I only got to fish out there a few times, should have gone out more since my brother and I bought a new boat for it last year but my love is the rivers and I have a hard time leaving them for the salt, even when the fishing is better. Dont know what it is about the rivers and the steelies but Id rather get one steelie than a but load of silvers any day.

Well it looks like I wont be getting anymore chances for the salt as Im off to Kodiak on Friday for a week of Steelie action on the Flyrod. I hope I can have fun as Ill be thinking about all the great washington fishing the whole time, NOT!

Anyways I hope we can get together next summer.
