Salmon fishing with my son!

I am currently at Honeyman State Park camping with my eldest son. We have been salmon fishing on the Siltcoos lake. Friday thru Monday our catch was one 17 inch jack salmon.


We hooked several fish but never got them into the boat! Tuesday started the same way with a hooked fish that we lost trying to get in the net but about noon our luck change and we caught two monster coho!


One was 30 inches long and the other was 32. They weighed around 15 lbs each!


Today my son took his sister and her fiance out while I took a salmon carcass and went crabbing at Waldport.  Every pot had a dozen little crabs which consumed all the bait within an hour but among all those I did manage to get two keepers! I'll be feasting on seafood for weeks!
