I am tired!
I was up for 26 hours yesterday. I finished off my breakfast shift with the intention of taking a nap all afternoon so I could have a beer later on. I am stopped passing through the cook shack and asked by a dockhand if I wanted to go fishing...I say hmm I'm tired but ok...so 30 minutes later I'm down on the dock loading the staff boat. I should take a picture of the staff boat...it's a small tin can of a boat..I've seen much biggers boats on lakes. We head out and about half way out to the fishing grounds we realize we have forgotten our cannon ball weights for our downriggers...half way out equals a 20-25 minute boat ride lol. So yeh we decided to keep going and just use weighted rods...meaning big weight on our line without the help of another line to clip into.
Fishing was kind of slow, we missed a few bites...had a hard time setting the hook. We caught around 10 coho, realeased all, caught one small chinook, a rock fish and a dogfish (a small shark). At 9pm tonight they are having a bullhead derby off the boat dock...so my plan is to sleep and wake up for the derby and stay up until work starts. We have bull head back home in the fraser river and surrounding shore line. Known commonly as skulpin...is considered a garbage fish as it has no table value.
I want to go, memories of childhood lol.
Work it self still blows goat but I am surviving..only 6 more weeks apparently.
I cant wait to lie down and sleep in my bed.
There is a weather warning today for gale force winds at 35 miles per hour....rough seas are coming. The rain woke me this morning...was pouring out..has since stopped and we are having periods of misty rain.
well thats all for now
til next time
