Well decided to hit the salt for the first time in my own boat. Launched at Point defiance and trolled back and forth for a few hours along the beach area. Got one fished hooked up my two sons went with me. It was his first salmon hook up and we got it half way to the boat it made a few jumps and gone.......we decided to head over to the mouth of the Puyallup no luck there and trolled north towards got almost to Redondo beach and the weather was getting bad and young men my boys were getting worried. So we packed it up and headed back to PD. We had a few drive by's but never another hook up. We launched at 6:45 and left around 5pm. The fish checker saw 4 fish. Two of them came for three tree area is what she said.

All in all it was a fun ride back to the dock water splashing all over wiper going I was impressed with the way the boat did as I have never driven a boat in that much chop, always a first and you have to learn. We stayed steady at 23 mph seemed to be the best ride. Can't wait to do it again next time bigger DR balls my little 8 lbs are great for lakes but I see some 13lbs in my future.....lol.
