Trip
TWO. Trip One
Not
too worried about getting on the water early, launched around 10:30
a.m. Hoping to have a repeat of the previous trip here
the objective was to fish a similar tide and location. I
caught a small rockfish near the mouth of Church Creek on a white
gulp and chartreuse 1/2 once jig, and a perch along the way on the
South River. Unfortunately the birds were not on the
water today... but the sonar was showing fish in the water. There
wan't a lot of action as the previous trip.... but was real happy
to bring home this chubby 24 inch rockfish. I had another
very strong hookup.... actually I thought it was a snag at the time.
But thinking back, I think it was a large fish
that I didn't set the hook properly. It spun my kayak
around by the time I picked up the rod and reel from it's rear holder.
Interesting
as it were.... the tail of the rockfish I brought home
had
deformed or damaged tail. There were no spots or demfromaties
of the skin or body. I was worried about the fish being diseased
and I sent pictures to DNR for their thoughts. They
believe the fish had been caught in nets, and thusly damaged the
tail. It was a beautiful healthy fish other wise, and I filet
him... fried some "fish sticks" up, made a ceviche, and
broiled the rest.
