With the rule change to two kings out of Westport, I booked a couple spots with Deep Sea Charters on the Blue Eyes. That was the only boat with room, and we got the last two spots. I have never fished on the Blue Eyes or with Deep Sea. I am confident that any Westport skipper should put us on the fish. Has anyone ever been on the Blue Eyes?

Had a blast on the Blue Eyes. The boat limited, mostly coho. 5 keeper kings, biggest was close to 20lbs dressed. Not sure if it won the derby for the day. I caught a lot of fish, jack kings, and wild coho. One fisherman even caught a good size shark, around 6'.. :dunno:. I caught fish till I though my arm was gonna fall off. Probably 5 or 6 wild coho for every hatchery was the trend on the boat. That was fine with me, as it was a blast catching them! I had a good 15lb-ish king to the boat, and on his side 3 different times, but it failed to find the net before coming loose. Heartbreaking! The skipper was dropping netting comments to the young deck hand routinely after that! :chuckle: Great crew to fish with, and I look forward to going again sometime. The Blue Eyes is a beautiful boat, with lots of elbow room. We crabbed the day before in the harbor. Caught a few that were very close, but no keepers. Had to quit as we were loosing bait to a dang sea lion, big ole fat thing. :bash: Tore up our rings, and ate a lot of bait. we would wait for him to go away, and just when we though we were good to soak for a while, he'd be back.

Glad you had a great trip sure a lot of native silvers. Next time you fish crab with a ring net put the bait under the ring they will usually leave it alone but you still get the crabs.

Pretty good Idea about the bait Buckhorn! Now...why didn't we think of that :chuckle:
