Chad and I and the family headed down to Honeyman campground near Florence, for a few days of family fun and of course some fishing. Day one, we fished the incoming tide and did pretty good with first Chad landing a nice hatchery silver.



I could not believe that our first coho of the year was a hatchery fish, after we landed 100+ coho last year and only found one hatchery fish. I should have know after that it was going to be a good day. About and hour later, another take down, and fish on. On a side not, I decided to forget the net to make things interesting. Well, Chad has vice grip hands and he easily tailed this nice chinook and lifted her into the boat after a nice fight.



We fished the next day and got blown off the water and the next day(Thursday) we fished for a couple hours, but no luck either days. We dropped the crab pots in the water all 3 days and got some really nice crabs. It was the best crabbing we have ever had. We got a few that were close to 9" across, so needless to say we ate good with some fresh chinook and dungies. We did not hear of many fish being caught. On the day we caught our fish the fish checker said one other fish had come in. Today, we heard of one that had been caught, but the crabbing has been spectacular.

Here is a quick-clip video of the day!

Here are a few pics of how good the crabbing was.



I forgot about the crabbing! It was incredible! We got a lot of BIG ones including three that were 9 inches across the shell. Some good eating for sure.



We had so much good food it was ridiculous.

Here is the quick-clip video we made of the trip!
