Pat and I rolled down Friday night and met Bret there. Mike and his son showed up in the morning.
We fished the Casino zone and there was tons of life there with whales, thousands of birds, and plenty of bait in the zone. We worked the 15-30 depth using divers with bait and spoons. Saturday's efforts produced 5 kings from 12-31 pounds.
Keean, Mike's some who lives in Cle Elum, had his first ocean experience. He had a great time and did very well out there.
Note,
We lost as many as we caught. It seemed to be about a 50% landing rate and we experienced the same on Sunday.

I had to get in on the action and pose with the big one:
Mark joined us Saturday night with a massive tuna hangover.
We got out to the same zone without Mike and Keean.
Same story on Sunday. Slow fishing over all but we managed to catch 7 kings from 12-24 pounds.
At the very end of the day, we were running back towards the North Jetty and stopped on a bird patch and promptly lost 2 salmon in a row.
Then we had one stick that took a blistering run. He hit a Kingfisher cookies and cream spoon behind a diver and gave the Classic glass and Tekota combo a real work out. He was about 5.5-6 feet long and didn't have much attitude overall but still got a knockout punch....
After chasing it for a while, it turned out to be a soup fin shark that we boated and later cut up. Excellent food and I will try to get a few pics from the fellas.
Great weekend with a bunch of good buddies.
