Alas! Behold! The Nehalem!
Finally! Nick and I finished all up-grades and modifications to the boat so we may get on the river! We left on Monday, about 10 am and fished the incoming tide. We took a crab pot for shits and goggles and were pleased to see a pot full of large crab! We were less than fortunate in our success for salmon, but we were forced to fish right in front of the Wheeler boat launch. This area is great for fish that are stacked up, normally beginning in September, or when some significant rains bring in more fish from the ocean. The trip was al lot of fun, but I think my partner in crime, Nick, would have liked to see something pulling on the end of his line! Like myself, there is only some much fishing one can do before you need to see some catching!
It was funny when we ran down river, past Brighton, near the jaws of the river. We were taking the crab pot down there to soak wile we fished for Salmon. The wind as we passed the point was very strong. I would imagine about 20 knots! I mean full wind, not gusty! So, of course, the water was very choppy! As anyone who has traveled in a boat, a smaller boat to be precise, it is very bumpy going fast of foot high waves at top speed! Long story short, nicks ass was suffering some serious “saddle-seat”. The wind was in our face, so the return trip was fine!
Anyway, was disappointed my fishing buddy needed some down time with his lady, so spent the day doing little. Mostly feeding the diapterons and fussing over some worm cultures. Normal fish nerd stuff.
Well, am considering fishing down there solo, but am a little nervous concerning a problem arising or landing a big one! Many 50-60 ponders are caught down there! Hate to loose one for something stupid! Course, anyone who knows me, knows I would sink the boat to catch a fish like that!
Anyway
Stay cool!
