Only had 3 hours to fish today. My son got a 5lber. And a couple of minutes before we had to go I hooked one and got her to the bank, she was about 8-10 lbs. I hooked 4, landed 1. and my son hooked 3, landed 1. I did not get a picture of my son's fish. We were only focused on the larger one, so only one picture this time. Overall, not a bad day.

We were drifting. Jens, the tricks are: 1oz. cannon ball, and in the area where I fish, I use 8 ft leader and a 1ot hook, and two small corkies, the color depends on the time of day. Jacob, it should only take about an hour and a half or so from the puyallup area. We live in Port Orchard and usually it only takes us about an hour and forty-five minutes.

That's a long leader. Are the hooks, hooking from outside in or from inside out? I've seen guide boats with long leaders as well. Thanks for the information!

Jay they are inside out. Long leader is just getting it off bottom more. You dont floss steelies. They are not pinks.

Thanks FP for the clarification.... The point being, no one should be flossing. Only teeth, which I could do more often....
