.... with the first salmon of 2012 landed on the F/V eyeFISH.

The stars lined up just right for this trip. Had just gotten my jack plate repaired on Friday afternoon (thanks Finn Electric!), without which the jet pump on my E-Tec was dead in the water. Weather/water on Saturday would make fishing outta my sled mission impossible, but Sunday's forecast was looking MUCH better.

Finally pulled the trigger and took the sled out to the ocean y'day to rustle up some bottomfish for the Achewter and eyeFISH clans.

Got out for the o'dark noon launch and spent a couple hours bouncin' bottom for earth-toned uglies before heading out to troll for prettier and shinier quarry.

Making the decision to venture offshore for salmon is always a bit dicey when I'm on call for the ER, but with a good bite so close to the marina, how could I NOT try? Admittedly, I did get called for a chemical eye injury while motoring out. Ho'boy! A sign of things to come?

But when the first rod went off before I could even get it into the FOLBE, we knew good things were gonna happen.







Ended a beautiful sunny afternoon in June with a treasure trove of groceries including ling cod, cabezon, black rockfish, and the season's first king salmon! Also some bonus crab courtesy of my bro Noel and family who camped at Westport for the weekend. Good eats this week!

Gonna be interesting watching your youngest's selection in boys.
Very nice looking hen......sockeye, right? wink

While I think bleeding the fish in the bucket is a gr8 idea.....what makes it picture-worthy?

LMWS ain't so little anymore Doc!!! Maybe YMWS.... Young Miss Wood Shampoo would be a better fit!?!

Anyway, looks and sounds like you had a great time on the water with the family!!!

Papa Doc is gonna miss her when she gets preoccupied with "that guy".
Hard to believe she has grown up on this board. I remember the wooden hammer wielding in tiny hands.....classic photo.

Awesome stuff Doc! I don't think you need to worry about LMWS dating some wimpy Alan Alda / PETA fag who listens to EMO crap and thinks fishing is barbaric..........that kid has her priorities clearly placed in the proper order! smile

+1

My wife looked at this thread and if you scroll the screen just right, you can get doc's avatar and the current shot in the same view. She said, "Wow, she's really grown!"


BTW, nice work on the fish!

From the weather to the under the wire engine repair to the fish, one word comes to mind: NICE. Gotta love it when a plan comes together.

Awesome Doc! We put in right behind you. I was going to come over and say Hi but you looked pretty busy and all. I told my dad that, "If he takes that in the ocean, we can certainly take ours!"

I'll bet Emi is beter at posing with a fish than 99 % of the people on this board. She is the smartest 13 year old I have ever met. She was bored on the drive home that night so she edited Alix's essay. Not only a great fishermen but a great Kid.

Slab must not have gotten The Memo. It was changed from little to Lovely Miss Wood Shampoo months ago.

Busy? NAH... just tryin' to make sure we weren't holding up the guys launching behind us. Never want to be "that guy" at the ramp. Shoulda just walked over to say howdy. No worry, brah... Team eyeFISH don't bite.
