Judy and I hit it again today and the reason I gave a 4 instead of 5 is that it was damn cold out there and to top that off, I sat on a wet towel and had a frozen butt all morning. Catching was slow compared to Friday and Monday. Instead of having our limits in a little over and hour, it took almost 3 hours. At least I had time to clean the Pinks between catching one. Depth again on the riggers was at 70 feet. We saw a lot of marks 30-50' but could not get a bite there. On the 4th fish I had just started to fight when Judy said there was a fish on the line she was bringing in. I told her just to hold off while a brought my fish in; however her fish decided to go to my side of the boat while mine decided to go to her side; luckily they did not tangle. But "Murphy's Law" then came on. My fish got caught around the shaft of the kicker, so I had to lift it up and then get the line off it so I could net the fish. Then the fish Judy had on got tangled up on the transducer so I had to strip down so I could untangle it----then it got caught around the prop of the main motor. I then lifted the main and somehow the line got twisted and I could not get it to release. So I pulled the fish in by hand, netted it and cut my line. At least we were able to beat Murphy.

I was out in the red canoe with outriggers. 6am until 6:45, nothing but 2 shakers then its like the pinks wake up and start jumping. Bang bang, 2 in the cooler by 7am and off to work. Except the tide was hauling and took me 40 mins to get back to boat launch. Maybe i should put a trolli g mptor on. Lovely morning, wonder how many more we have before they are gone.
