A bit slower day for the wife and I but a few fish to the boat.  The usual salmon anglers were hanging around Semaphore Pt., no fish seen taken and one guy back at the dock said they had been out since 0400 and got nothing.  When we put the lines in I saw Marv out in his boat and he had a pesky salmon on and, 5 minutes after I put my line in I too had one of them things on!  Helen actually reeled this one in, first time ever she boated one, she just wanted to feel the power of these fish, and she did!

We didn't hang around there to long and trolled over to Murdock, a couple of hits a Cop Car Apex when we went past the Eagle but that was it.  Once at Murdock that same Cop Car took 2 nice rainbows down at 48', pound for pound the one bow had as much spunk as that salmon!

Lots of fish marking on the bottom at Murdock so we pulled the jigging rods out.......
