We were on the water around 6am. It was cloudy and a breeze was blowing which made it chilly. The water temperature was 70 degrees.

Fishing was good but catching was slow between the 3 of us. My brother Richard, sister-in-law Kim (pinkpole) and I brought in 4 trout. We did have several bites that didn’t stick.

I was fishing off the downriggers, stacked, anywhere from 20-40 feet. Stacking was 10 foot apart. Kim was 16-20 feet, not stacking, and my brother was longlining on the surface with a Pistol Pete fly.

Not a lot of on top action but there is always coming home to watch the footage of what happened under water. Now I see why I was getting tangled. Just goes to show that I wasn't paying attention when letting out my line. I usually have the lower rods line out further than the top. I remember part of the time I didn’t load the rod as much as I usually do.
