Coos Bay April 15

[rogerdodger]

I had a great day, ocean still too rough so I went searching for rock fish in Coos Bay and I found them: 2 'blacks' came home with me, 2 'coppers' were released.

I did not take my crab pots today as this was a recon trip but I will take them next time now that I have a feel for the area.

Most excellent! What a great way to chill, and to get some exercise. And FINALLY...someone with GOOD taste, in music beds (and it's not over-driven too boot)!!! :thumb:

Excellent Roger! It was neat seeing my old stomping grounds.

thanks everyone, with almost no wind predicted for Sunday I was forced to do it all again but this time with both my Promar collapsing crab pots...

the good news, I landed 6 rock fish and lost 6 more on the way up to the kayak. However, all 6 that I landed were 'coppers' and went back into the water...I got a picture of the first one, probably the smallest of those I got to the boat...

also on the good news, I got a big red rock crab who is joining the 2 blacks that I caught on Friday to make tonight a "fish, chips, and claws" dinner; I even donated a Sierra Nevada IPA for the beer batter....cheers, roger
