Confession time..... I broke the law a few weeks ago

I was trolling in Puget Sound for salmon with a friend. We had two lines out on the downriggers and hadn't had a strike for at least an hour. We were watching herring surface all around us. I couldn't resist. I grabbed my ultralight, tied on some herring jigs and dropped them overboard with a weight to get them down

It didn't work. I didn't catch any herring and I felt like a teenager sneaking out of the house. After a few minutes I reeled the herring jig back in and thought, "What a stupid rule!"

If I couldn't handle two lines, I wouldn't fish them!!

Oh, BTW .... I was going at least 64mph down I-5 today!!!

And the nets go in Grays Harbor this week....
