The Salmon season is over for another year and, as usual, I have neglected to post on a regular schedule. I left my laptop at home this year, figuring I could post with my phone. Haha, not! So, I'll try and reconstruct the season from memory.
Our first outing was strait to the "Mainland" and Bird Bluffs searching for Sockeye. The fishing is pretty good and things are going, relatively, smoothly. I have switched to a different processor, (Trident Seafoods), after about 15 or 20 years with APS. I don't remember the dates for sure. Anyway, on the second day I slip and hit the back of my head on the pipe rail. Nice concussion and I'm out for about ten days. Great!
Our skiffman had rotator cuff surgery in January and he's having a little difficulty also. Off to town to recuperate and regroup. Once I felt up to working again we headed out. Second day out and the skiffman's shoulder is going haywire on him, so back into town we go. He was worried he had reinjured the rotator cuff, but the MRI showed a nice repair, still intact. After the third time he had a problem we decided it might be better if he sat out the season. After the last shoulder incident everything went just fine for the rest of the season. The best of stories. No breakdowns and steady fishing. Enough to put a smile on a guys face. I'll put a little more detail in later posts.
