Hey everyone...I NEED HELP!!!!

I've logged 65 hours on my new boat (not including the kicker time!!!) and have only gotten 2 silvers and a blackmouth so far!!! I'm talking 8-12 hours a day, 4-6 days a WEEK!!!!! And I'm NOT pleasure boating! I have my hooks in the water!

I guess the guy I bought the boat from wasn't a very prolific fisherman, and I was wondering if any of you thought boats could have bad luck or bad fish spirits or.......Sheesh...I am so freakin' FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!

ONE HUGE fish on and lost jigging ...trolling...a few nips and nothing! It's depressing! Last week I was ready to throw my gear in the water and sell the boat for $300.00!

The ONE thing that HAS helped me with perspective is that many of the "old-timers" are getting skunked too!!! They say there just aren't that many fish here yet, but c'mon...not ONE CHINOOK on my hooks??? It's CRAZY!!!!! SOMETHING HAS TO BE UP!!!!

I am open to ANYTHING at this point!

PLEASE reply with any advice on kickin' the skunk off my boat!!! I appreciate it!!!

Hoping YOUR luck's been better than MINE!
