#252347 - 08/18/04 12:28 AM A 30-minute fishing trip !
Downriggin Repeat Spawner Registered: 02/28/02 Posts: 1189 Loc: Marine Area 13	Home early today and had the house to myself. I was suppose to do yardwork, but decided I'd launch the boat and cruise around to blow the carbon build up out. Long story short... I was southeast of Penrose Point when a hunch got the best of me. So I stopped 5 minutes into full speed run.... Got the DR down to 80 feet.. and no sooner than I sat down- BAM! B2/Spin N Glo combo once again. Guessing somewhere in the neighbor of 25#-27# The best part- I cleaned the fish and started my chores. Guess who pulled in the driveway?

Downriggin Repeat Spawner Registered: 02/28/02 Posts: 1189 Loc: Marine Area 13	Kramer, North of Pitt- Southhead actually. Although some of the Minter fish run this route, the majority will be off Green Point. Btw... hopefully BM fishing is going to heat up between Allen Point and Green Point. I understand there's a strong possibilty the Minter hatchery is going to start BM production shortly. Sweet news for us South Sound folks! _________________________ "If you are not scratchin bottom, you ain't fishing deep enough!" -DR Puget Sound Anglers, Gig Harbor Chapter

Kramer Spawner Registered: 08/24/00 Posts: 856 Loc: GH & PA, WA	DR, great news on BM at GP. I can't wait for winter. I did manage to pull out a 12# hatchery chinook in front of Gig Harbor last night. Couldn't talk the wife into launching at Horsehead cause she wanted to swing by the Tides for a quick cold one on the way out.

Downriggin Repeat Spawner Registered: 02/28/02 Posts: 1189 Loc: Marine Area 13	Just about any "safety product" store should carry it. Look for 3M brands. They carry the longest glowing material. _________________________ "If you are not scratchin bottom, you ain't fishing deep enough!" -DR Puget Sound Anglers, Gig Harbor Chapter
