Today I decided to launch from Gardner and see how fishing has been up there. Im starting to get tired of catching pinks so I anchored up and plunked my coho spinners. I was looking forward to getting away from pinks to do some lounging around and wait for the mighty coho takedown. Well since pinks will hit just about anything, i had a hard time keeping them off. Around 7am I decided to take a nap, as soon as I was clearing out the middle of the boat to lay down I heard the bell that I put onto my pole ring and fly off into the water. I quickly turned around to see my rod pullsating with the tip in the water. After several jumps and a few nerve racking moments I was able to get a net under a 6-7lb silver. It is quite the task netting a hot silver by yourself. After that excitement it was slow with only a couple pinks disturbing my nap. Good luck
