Hmmmm.................5 fish today.  The warm water is quickly heading SW.  I ran all day, started out SW, then decided...I don't want to be off shore this time of year, I've done that before and got my butt kicked, so I changed course and headed East.  Found a few boats inside and no radio talk.....makes me think there might be a few fish.  I realize there will be no big scores but I need to break even before I call it a season so I am going to drift tonight and give it another shot tomorrow.  I will probably being heading in in  a day or two

Only 21 fish today, not as good as I was hoping.  There are a few boats in the aea and they did about the same.  My bait is getting pretty beat up, lot's of floaters.  I figure I have lost about half.  I'm thinking because of weather, it is pretty sloppy out here.  So....all the gear is in, hitting my bunk, watch a movie...put today behind me and be on scene for tomorrow.

Today was interesting, had zero fish on until 6:00 this evening, I was getting pretty nervous.  There were no other boats in sight and water temp was cold.   So about 11:30 this morning I pulled in all the gear and jammed South, then West.  Finally found warm water, feed, and a few boats.  Managed to put on 48 fish for the evening bite, all nice size.  I can sleep good tonight and looking forward to tomorrow.  I feel like I have gotten located and have high hopes for this trip!

Got my fuel and ice yesterday, leaving the dock @ 8am.  Pulling into Ilwaco to get live bait and then heading out for what could be my last trip.  There is still a good sign of fish, weather is a major factor.  I am prepared for a full trip as long as the weather holds.
