It was about an hour boat ride out to the fishing area.
The bait for the day was anchovy.
This is the 2 - 2.5 lb lead weight used to get the line down while trolling. When a fish got hooked it would pull a spring loaded pin in the brass tube above the weight and the weight would be released to make it easier to reel the fish in.
Linda ready to catch a Salmon.
Me trying to smile after throwing up. For the next five hours I was either hang over the edge of the boat chumming or sitting on this bench hoping I didn't catch a fish and have to stand up.
Heading back to the bay to try a different area. Two other guys had caught a King each. The Captain thought maybe we would have better luck in the bay.
This is the stranger part, as soon as we passed under the bridge into the bay I felt fine, ready to fish, and hungry.
Linda did fine out in the ocean. I couldn't believe it when I looked over at her eating her lunch.
Linda had a Salmon on that got off, I didn't get a bite, and only three Kings were landed along with a few that got off at the boat.
