Another day of Pink Extravaganza 2015. This time JoAnn and I decided to sleep in and catch the HT change at 1:10pm. We launched out of Edmonds and headed to Picnic Point. The game plan was to troll one line and jig with the other. Rumor has it that I don’t know how to jig for pinks in the saltwater. This is patently untrue. I will say, it did help a lot today to bring my twitching jig rod which was much more comfortable. Look mom, no sore elbow joint!

The fishing was slower today for us than it was yesterday. I got two pinks on jigs and lost three. The downrigger rod had a few hits, but none stuck, probably three fell off. We fished from 11:30am to 3pm. Still lots of fish on the fishfinder, just couldn’t find biters.

It was certainly a relaxing and pleasant day, so no complaints. Gringo was out with his family. Always nice to give a shout out to friends on the water.

We landed 1 and lost 1. But we only fished about an hour and when it is just the wife, daughter and me more time is spent setting them up, keeping them untangled, snacks and going fast than fishing. We dropped 2 pots between Picnic Point and Shipwreck and picked up 1 keeper Dungeness in amongst a good 15 undersized and females in each pot.
