Thursday...we had gotten a tip about Split Rock point, and so the fleet (Green Manalishi, The Mako and the J-Rae) headed up there bright and early to try to make a go of it.
Marked a lot of fish deep, but apparently the feeding frenzy in the 30' foot range had finished during the night. The J-Rae went off to look for perch in Converse, and about an hour later called needing a tow back to Westport
...so we did the Death Troll while towing...no fish.It was our turn to cook dinner, but my buddy Jeff, whose boat motor had developed a problem before the trip and was riding on the Mako, was desperate for a salmon...even though he never said anything, we could tell
. So his childhood friend Gary gave up his seat on my boat for us to head south again. We started out using orange and gold @ 6 feet, but soon got to talking with Tim Ryan and changed up our game plan based on his advice....we got Jeff his salmon and then tried for more, Tim was helping us tremendously
...unfortunately we had to get back to the cabin to cook dinner...Paella with Brown trout, Salmon and Laker
Again, thank you Tim Ryan...
