6/24/2013 2:09:00 PMHaha, thanks guys! Yeah I've had a confirmed id. It's an Opelu.(I like the hawaiian name) Big eyed mackerel. The water was 62 degrees a mile off the beach. Crazy warm!

6/25/2013 12:52:00 AMI know motoboat, crazy huh? We picked a good weekend, weather-wise and fish-wise. It was a bit rougher on Sunday, but not too bad. Kings are open till Sept. 30th, but I catch em well into October when they move into Grays harbor. In August it will be on fire for silvers out there.
