Friday, 7September, 2012: Daysail/Fishing

Weather:  Sunny and Warm.  Winds:  Light and variable.  Seas:  Calm

OK, mostly a motor, but did a little sailing to West Beach off the NW corner of Whidbey Island.  Anchored off and did some fishing...not catching.  Did see one other boat there and it did bring in one salmon, but that was it.  The water was clear and I could see a couple small sole chasing the lure.

After an hour, pulled the anchor and motored around, trying to hit the current interfaces.  Still nothing.

Inside Deception Pass, vicinity of the bridge, was crowded with boats.  After another hour outside, we moved inside and anchored.  The shore was crowded.  Cast the line towards shore but there was no action seen anywhere.  Still, it was a gorgeous day and after a bit, I did some maintenance, awaiting the fish.  Still no action and after a couple hours, we headed home.

We caused a bit of a stir on the shore upon arrival as a trimaran is not a normal fishing boat.  Then the dogs came up and played on the nets.  The kids ashore loved it!
