not many of us moochers left. Ya have to go to no point to see a few. I look around any were else and many times I am the only one waiting for that slacker. Ya cant even find a direct drive reel any more. My son and i had some guys troll by us and asked us what we were doing. They actually didnt know there was another way to fish salmon than with a downrigger. I couldnt believe they were serious...I launched out of Ballard mon. Not many trailers in the lot. I fished the trees and docks, and had to go elsewere th get my fish.

I remember those days out front. Been a while. The 5 min ballard bite. Most times I would travel when it got daylight.

Be nice to get a few more weeks fishing in 9. I have put back a lot of sm fish like everyone else.
