As the sun sets on another year of chasing our piscatorial passion, I'm reminded of just how fortunate we are to live in the great PNW (OK except maybe ColeyG). Despite premature closures at Buoy 10, Grays Harbor, and the clam beaches, Team eyeFISH was able to eek out yet another phenomenal year of doing what it is we all LOVE to do.

Wishing the whole PP family a GREAT 2016!

That can still happen.... just not this evening.

Gotta knock out early tonight for an o'dark early wakeup call to chase winter steel in the morning.

The PNW still feels a lot more like home than my current home and I miss it on a daily basis. The west coast is definitely the best coast. Happy New Year Doc and the rest of the PP crowd.

Yup... only 2 hrs sleep but I got my line wet for the first time in 2016 thanks to my young host, JesseM.

Plucked a little dolly while swinging the double hander....









.... and later connected with bonafide steel. YEE HAW! Dirty Copper delivers yet again....

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

That last photo is fantastic, Doc.

The last week has been pretty awesome in regards to the weather and scenery.

Looks like a grand day and not as cold as it likely was. Nice fishes too. How's that plug cast on the 2-hander, Doc?

Think chuck and duck.... and even then, head clearance can be a b!tch even for a short dude like me.

It'd never work for you.
