I can finally ad this to my resume: Catching a salmon from a kayak. I was only able to land one but hooked into four. One of them jumped about 3 ft. into the air, and when you are sitting in a kayak (take my word for it) it is thrilling because the fish is jumping higher than your head! I was catching pink salmon and they tend to go around the boat in a circle. I could not get my line around the bow of the kayak so I would sometimes have all but about a foot of the rod down in the water. I went down to try my luck again today, but it was the first day of Indian fishing, so nets were stretched everywhere. I just turned around and went home. http://picasaweb.google.com/kayakster/Fishin?pli=1&gsessionid=z-MMxT- oPzpNGFat9ccIDA#5381496506317739202 Paul Montgomery paul_at_paddleandoar.com http://paddleandoar.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Where were you fishing? Is that an SOF you were fishing from? That had to give you a rush. Lots of the BC paddlers fish on their adventures but I've never tried it (yet). Thanks for posting that. :) Craig Jungers Moses Lake, WA www.nwkayaking.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
