Just got back from Cath. Really rough weather day. Had to wait at the dock until the wind settled doen. It blew most everyone else off the water. Went out about 1000 and trolled by the cannery . Got one nate about 12 pounds. We were the only hook up I saw in that area.

Wind kicked back up and made trolling really difficult. Anchored up and didn't get any take downs. Got off the water early. Sea lions got two fish we could see. Water temp was 45 to 46 deg.

One question, that nate had a really small adipose fin, not partially clipped or anything, just really small. Was it really a hatchery fish?
