Mark woke me up from a fabulous nap for this post so I may as well write it well. Today was my first time out on the ocean as well as my first time bottom fishing and salmon trolling. I had a marvelous time. I had no clue what I was doing, however thanks to Mark's instruction by the end of the day I almost look like I know what I'm doing and I feel like a pro. We limited on sea bass, ling cod, cabazon and other types of fish including Chinook salmon weighing about 15 pounds each. I was impressed with Mark's determination to keep up with the fish in order to catch as many as we could. Not only did we do some good fishing but there was a beautiful view, and I saw several other critters. I may be 16, but today I have a world of experience.
