Love an Hour like this...

Boss was a little late this morn. Fine by me. I had to take another pain pill in the night as my new implants were really barking at me. So I was occupied shaking off the slowness still this morn.
Quietly slid out of the dock. Then cleared the inlet. West wind was screaming. I pulled the sticks back a little short of where I usually start. A few birds and a fair looking break with a few weeds in shallow got me thinking. I set out a little purple day saver and readied my other baits to deploy. Caught a glint of purple out of the corner of my eye. No muss no fuss, sail was up on a piece of plastic.
"Hey Boss, why don't you reel that fish in?"
"Huh? I didn't even know you had a bait in the water."
"I don't . Its in his jaw..."
We could see people on the beach we were so tight. The fish put on a dandy show and about fifteen minutes later I had the leader. With the important one taken care of that quick the day was made.
The sea wasn't rough but the screaming wind made things not so perfect. I went a head and laid out my pink and blue day saver. "Doink" I had a neeter letting it out. Boss had me dispatch that one quick.
Re set and finally got the spread out. I love the compliment when a bird thinks my bait is natural enough to attack. I do not however care for it when a large gannet spears one and bows up. Boss let me drag that feathered beast to the boat. I got to duck its needle sharp bill a few times before laying the ol throttle grip on it. Hook out and I get to fly a feather from the rigger going home.
Got deep and had a mystery bite. Big rainbow runner. We don't catch a lot of them so when we do I get all tickled. With the sun out the temp was good. The wind though just was too much. The boss man had me point her at the beach and we called it a quick one.
Best part of this one hour quickie was comming in and hearing about all the snow elsewhere...

Tomorrow we're sliding over to the 43 and gonna grab some live bait for another shot. Canyongear Timmy will be joining us...

There are some advantages to a short run...

The boss is liking this more and more. He can cut out of working at home, catch a quick fish or two less than mile from the inlet and be back in time for lunch. The whole idea is to have a good time and relax. Yeah he has the option of going all day or like today, stick and run. Big boat is a bit more complicated. Two bridges in the way slow us up some but the 31 is jump in, turn the key and go.

Sounds like fun! Cechum-up Deep!!!
