Rolled the dice with the wind and swell and went to Trinidad on Sunday 5/28/2006. Swell was 5-6 foot and wind 5-10 mph. Pretty nice day, just a little lumpy.
Fished 2.5 miles due west of Trinidad head in 150-200' depth of water. Trolled anchovy with RSK and Krippled anchovy clips behind dodgers.
Landed 6 coho, had 1 coho released into the mouth of a 500+lbs California sealion. Guess the sealion doesn't know you have to release the coho in California?
Later in the morning went into shallow water between 80-100 depth and landed a nice 23 lbs chinook at 45 feet on the downrigger wire. Our experience is exactly what we heard on the CB Channel 11, lots of coho, lots of sealions and maybe 1-2 chinook in the box per boat. But most chinook were 5-10 lbs. Pretty slow!!!!!!
I'll post pictures on my Personal Page when I develop the film. Going to Fort Bragg next weekend.
