FISH ON!

Wednesday, September 11, 2013
Barney got a fish today! Probably 26 to 28 inches – very nice. They went out fairly early because he was going to use a smaller rod and spinners instead of the big bait stuff. Pretty nice to bring one in!Astoria 037Astoria 038Astoria 040Astoria 041
Fred stopped for bait and then joined him on the river bank. By the time the tide shifted and it was better for bait fishing, we had been out there long enough and called it a day.
It was very foggy again this morning, but was clearing at the campground and towards town, and then socked in again. The coast never did clear.
We had wanted to get fish and chips again at the Bowpicker, so did that for a late lunch thinking we would have salmon steaks for dinner. It was late enough and we were so stuffed, dinner was not called for. 
Fred needed a new rod, so we stopped at Big 5 and Freddies and got something acceptable. Now to see if we can kick them out of bed early enough for some good fishing tomorrow! That will be a challenge. Since the campground is so quiet in the mornings it is nice to just laze around.
Happy Birthday TJ.
