Just got back from Westport and I myself fish late because I enjoy the fishing, can't see going out for two hours and going home. For the three of us, we caught and kept an 18, 15 and 14 pound Kings, caught several more around 8-10 lbs and released. We also caught about 10 or 12 coho, everyone of them had a fin, even the 3 lb runt. One of the silvers was chomped by a six foot blue, and then it got hooked, the fight to save the flasher was on. All in all, for Westport , I would call it slow, but for many places fishing was excellent. I can't complain, Oh and the bar was very sloppy on the way out. Had a friend go north and was lousy, called him in from 16 miles, and he caught fish too , whem he finnally showed up.

Glowing report! I would have expected nothing less from the master of Westport. Way to go Steve!
I'm with you, bud. Early limits and back on the road by noon just doesn't do it for me. Why not just drive over to Safeway?

There are but a handful of legitimate excuses to quit fishing once you're already invested in getting out there:
1) Out of gas 2) Out of bait 3) Out of daylight 4) Out of energy.... exhaustion 3) Out of your mind to persist in dangerous weather/seas.
Did I forget anything?

Fundamental canon #1: Goober gets the fish.
Fundamental canon #2: Don't bring any experience with you, Don't set the hook, or "YOU'LL PULL THE HOOKS OUT." Just start reeling like a jackass. Don't pump your rod while playing a fish, or "YOU'LL LOSE-EM." Just reel against a slipping drag like a jackass. Any outward sign of personal initative on your behalf will be met with verbal conflict on behalf of captain and crew. LMFAO!!! Sol that is so TRUE!!! When I was in high school my dad and I used to fish on pukers out of Ilwaco all the time..his pals, buds from my high school baseball and football teams, anyone with $30 who could get up early enough.....one arsewipe Captain Bligh in particular stands out ....while he'd be lecturing all the drunks ready to puke up their 34 jack & cokes with a $2.99 gnarly breakfast fried in Quaker State, we'd all go into the cabin, sip coffee and dad would make fun of the dude..."blah blah blah, f him son, we're gonna fish our way"....we'd be berated on cue for daring to set the hook, for daring to pump 'n reel and for daring to go out more than the allowed 15 pulls. We always caught tons of fish and had a blast playing "mock Captain Bligh behind his back"......those were fun days...
