My Dad mainly taught me how to fish. He focused mainly in the Salt Water around the Kitsap Peninsula while I was growing up. I wasn't really into fishing saltwater at the time, more rivers, but as time went on I grew to love all types of water. My grandparents are also a big factor in fishing. We used to spend a week a Sekiu every year fishing for Kings the 1st week of August. When that ended in 93 I didn't return until they started having these short openings. Had one of my best years ever at Sekiu last year landing 37 kings to 30 pounds and releasing 30 of those unharmed in three mornings of fishing.
