yes she does, I fished the skok for two hours yesterday and then fished area 10 with her and my budy for 4 hours right after I got home from fishing the skok.

I bet I can get her to let me fish it this afternoon again as well. but it is my b-day and our anniversary so today might be a little harder than normal.

I have never been spooled before. I had the drag cranked down to. This thing was ripping line off like it was a tuna. I didn't see it but a couple guys said it looked like my reel was smokin. I know it happens but I don't think mine was.

I was using 1/2 oz cannon balls or pencil lead. Started off just pencil lead then started pulling cannon balls up from the bottom so I started using them. I brought alot of gear in off the bottom. And I will be there sunday with my wife.

somewhere around a 3 hour drive for you isnt it? thats a long road trip. I was fishing the sky awhile back and tried to find what I did with your number. Was gonna see if ya wanted to do some fishing. But I never did find it. I prolly wont be back up there till late in the year or next summer for steelies. All my salmon fishing will be down here. I cant wait till I start seeing fish in good in the puyallup.
More fish please!
