Fifth trip out this year, first report.

Construction projects associated with my move into a new house have really hurt my fishing this year. But based on how many fish we have caught in those five trips, it does not sound like we have missed too much. Only two or three fish each trip. Even got skunked trip before last and that has not happened in more than a decade.

Don't really have much to report this trip either, but thought I would post anyhow since there have been very few reports out of SH this year.

Fished from 7:00 to noon with fishing buddy Denny (Sea Hawk). Went 3-3. Two lakers and a nice steelhead. Trolled northwest of pier head shallowest around 90 ft out to 160. All three fish came in around 125 ft of water. Caught one fish just about every two hours.

First laker came on full core with a special mixed veggies looking spoon from an out of production SS pattern that Dirty Dog had made up for me this winter. A big laker came on the DR down 65ft with a Mountain Dew/pearl spin doctor- green fly and the steelhead hit on the other DR down 85 ft with a UV blue dolphin spoon.

Thanks for the report, Tarrey. Take heart, I've only made one trip so far this year.
