Hear ya.  We were heading out right as you were coming in!  Those ol' 3 cyl 70 HP were great motors  :tup:

Our fish came in 45 feet.  We fished schools from 30 all the way down to 120.  Just not biting what we were offering (standard humpy gear trolled at slow and slower) last night. 

May have seen you, if you were leaving Everett.  I was wondering who in the heck would be heading out in that crud.  Maybe you have a bigger boat.  If you do, that would have been good!

Fishing was slow.  We trolled several hours to get two.  Saw only two other fish netted, but I'm sure there was more.  Nobody we saw was hittin em big.

Thanks for the boat ride skillet.  I owe you a tank of gas for that boat and a half rack of adult beverages.

Had one on in humpy hollow, but a seal grabbed it.  At least the kid I had with me has a cool story. 

Not many boats out tonight.  did not see any nets in air.

Don't have a big boat - just 17'er with a good bilge pump  :chuckle:  It actually calmed down for a while while we were fishing, but the wind started to pickup a bit so we started to head in... now that was a bit of a rough ride home once we turned the corner at the ferry dock!

Good times, man.  We only burned between 3-4 gallons - really don't think you want to fill up my 29 gallon tank for a pink and a couple of crab!  :chuckle:

Regarding the beer.  Sounds like we could work something out there.  I'll have my people call your people.

I hope you see a great big bear this weekend so you can shoot it with the rifle you're not bringing :bash:

Hey this is a fishing thread, take your rifle and bear talk elsewere... :chuckle:
