Trip Summary

Its been a crazy April. The weather as usual has been all over the place. Fishing mostly in 15 to 20 kt winds with some days at 30 kts. Still catching fish every trip and it is getting better and better. Trout are showing up and found schools of trout yesterday and of course the nuisance gaff top mixed in but a heck of a fight. Reds seem plentiful with lots of fish just under 18 in. Only means there will be plenty next month.
