Oregon Coast Fall Chinook

[Joe Hulburt]

After 14 straight day of elk hunting I had to take the afternoon off and sit in the boat for a while. Couldn't have hit the bite any better. 9 hits, 6 hooked and 4 landed. Should have been 6 landed but that's fishing.

Of course the big one got away! I tried to horse him to the net after a long battle and pulled the hooks.

They are going to make some awesome dinners

Congrats! Salmon, it's what's for dinner. Now, good luck on finding that elk ................... just imagine one of those filets combined with fresh backstrap.

Congrats! I'm going to be up there this weekend either in Nehalem or Tillamook. Can't wait!

Good haul of fish

Nice haul of salmon! You are blessed to live where you can hunt elk and catch salmon like those.

Plus it appears you have the wood to fire up and cook some salmon.

Thanks for the comments.

I agree. I should have included a pic of the bucket of Dungeness Crab we caught while fishing. Always something to chase here on the coast....

It's not without a trade off of course.......I have always dreamed of living somewhere in the Rocky Mnts but can't bring myself to leave the ocean.

That is a German wood pile called a Holzhaufen........ Something I stumbled onto on the internet to make stacking wood more time consuming.

What a day,salmon & Dungeness! I like to go over to Westport,Wa for some of that but haven't made it for a couple years.
