Free: Contests & Raffles.
Launch wasn't bad at neah, but only Big Salmon Gas pump working. Big lines for fuel. Killed em Sunday with limits on both lings and butts but went out about 35 miles to get em. Much bigger fish than the opener last year. I didn't fish Friday but guys said it was not good, one boat went down with one drowned off Tatoosh
Quote from: gasman on May 12, 2018, 08:14:01 PMGot to ask, you went shrimping and halibut fishing on the same day this year?....HMMMMMNot a good day at all, it all started bad Top off the tank and headed to pick up my buddy. Battery light came on, and message on the dash, low voltage. Hooked up the boat headed down the road and the red light came back on and truck went in to "power save mode" (what ever that is) checked the voltage, only 11 volts comming out of alt. Headed back to Dusty house, hooked up his truck and off we went, only an hour later then planned. Launch at John Wayne, ran out to DB as fast we could, and that wasn't very fast, it was a bit rough. Dropped shrim pots and Dusty was getting sea sick, and once that happens, he's done. So we headed behind the island to calmer waters to see if his stomach would settle down. We waited about an hour and half, he was spent, so we grabbed the pots and called it a day. Pulled 197 shrimp in 4 pots, not bad considering south sound sucked was for shrimp on the opener for us.... Fish checker said several boats came back because the waters were to rough, 2 other boats were pulling out for the same reason before we pulled in.Got home, pulled the alt. from the truck and $271 later, it's all better Going to PA in the morning, hope it's much better.
