Of course I remember Dan's bait shop! Straight shot from us and was always our first stop in the early am. I also got to watch several of the bait kids on the dock fight kings.

We would mimic that over on our dock. No big kings, but used to catch the snot out of the poor black mouth and seaguls.

Great fishing with you the other day, Diamond Cutter! Always a fun time on the water! Still don't know why you let that fish go at the boat. Now, we just need to get tjcarrol back on that fishing horse!

Captain Q - did you ever get any legit salmon off of our dock?

Somehow we managed to always...um...."hook" a sockeye when they passed by, maybe a big king or two, and at least a couple of silvers every year. About once a year, I'd get a steelhead on a spinner, spoon, or casting a Flatfish out to a rolling pod.

Oddest thing we hooked off of the dock was a HUGE true cod. In the 3' and 35-40 pound range.
