Let's see if I can get their names and relationships right.
Hal - Grandfather
Don - Uncle
Terry - Uncle
We started trolling in my usual spot just North of town in sunny and calm conditions.
We had left my raft at the stall so we had more room to work the fish from the swim step.
That also allows us to run a third line from the middle rod holder if we want, which we really can't do if the raft is there.
This time of year the hope is that the fishing will be so hot that you couldn't keep a third line in the water if you wanted to.
Ryan and his family were a great crew, working the gear all day. All I had to do was steer.
After a pretty good haul of Silvers, (and a few Pinks which we pitched), we stopped out by Guard Island and anchored for some bottom fishing. I couldn't believe it when Don hooked a small halibut within less than a minute of dropping down. I told him I've spent hours trying to get a halibut so that was definitely not fair. Unfortunately that was the only halibut we got. The sharks and the turbot we in abundant supply though.
We came in with a mediocre haul, not as much as I had hoped for.
