Great Day on Pacific

[Codfish]

Here is a picture of two nice Chinook salmon my wife and I caught yesterday out of the small Oregon port of Winchester Bay, at the Umpqua River. Had to go out to 400' depth (about 9 miles) to find them. Fished at 150' deep. The large one is 34 lbs and the smaller one is 26. All in all a great day, first calm wind day in over a month. Whew.

Dave - great to hear and see. Looks like the wind will let me get out for some albies this Sunday so I'll give it a try and report....

Can't wait to hear how you do Barry. Our tuna trips have not materialized due to the weather. I hope you get out.

Hi Genelie,

Yep, have Cannon Uni-trol HPs, mounted amidships. They work great to get down to the deep chinook.

Dave, et al: Had to go 40 nms out from the Santa Cruz harbor Sunday, on a not nice ocean, but the 210 was up for it (sure glad I had the T-top enclosure). A friend and I hooked 9 and landed 7 albacore - 12-18 lbs. Photo enclosed, safely back on land......Barry

Way to go Barry. I am going this weekend if the weather will allow. I hope, but do not expect to see any albies. Halibut and salmon are good possibilities though. Will post any successes.
