April 20

Found a small weather window ahead of the incoming storm and decided to take another shot at salmon. The ride out to the grounds was a bit rolly with some confused seas, but once we dropped the commercial floppers, the boat settled right down. We set the gear and worked the tip of the Soquel Hole, hooking four fish and putting two solid king salmon on deck. Timed it just right and made it back to the harbor before the wind came up.
