One-Sided Day on the Gorge

Cindy and I did an overnight trip to Manila, Utah, and fished the Gorge in search of Kokanee Salmon. As could be predicted, Cindy had all the action. I went without a bite. She easily had 10 hits, hooking 3 kokes in the process. I was strictly the captain of the boat on this day. On top of that, I had forgotten the fish finder, so we fished blind that morning. We should have limited out on just the action Cindy had, but a lack of hookups killed that hope.
Had koke fillets for dinner once we got home. Delicious!

Hawaii Fishing Trip Not So Hot

Despite all our efforts on a full day fishing trip, stormy weather prevailed and made for a difficult day on the water. Including sea sickness! I got it bad that morning.
Our only catches were 2 mahi mahi that Cindy and I brought in.
No marlin; no yellowfin tuna.
We did have 3 other hits that didn't hook up, and that was frustrating. But our trip to Hawaii was spectacular, and the girls just didn't want to leave! 2 weeks just wasn't enough for them.
