Fishing, Part 2.

We are still in Yaquina Bay (Newport, OR). Sometime we anchor out, some times we pull in to South Beach Marina for power and bus service for provisioning, or for a little quiet from the wind, which has been significant. Last week I took the dinghy out to the jetties and fished for a while. I caught a black rockfish, about 11". After filleting, it was about enough for one person. I took the dinghy to the bayfront and picked up some more rockfish for a compete dinner, and ran a few other errands. No pictures, the Admiral didn't like the sculpin pictures, so no more. But the time shaking the stick at the water was relaxing. The other part of the rockfish went to crab bait, worked lots better than the sculpins, and netted us a crab for omelets in the morning. My cousin Leanne came over for the weekend. She had several crab traps and rings. The boat stayed in the marina, we took the dinghy out and caught 4 keeper crabs the first day (yummy dinner for the three of us) and three the next morning, which went home to Uncle Bob and Aunt Marietta. Doug and Leanne also got to go to Stephanie's Cafe in Nye Beach for Salmon Sandwiches, both because they are yummy, and as a tribute to our mothers. It was one of their favorite things to do together. Leanne loaned us a couple of rings for our voyage.
