Fishin'

As I mentioned, my Odyssey preparations were interrupted by a fishing trip to Trinidad on Wednesday.  I'm happy to report that it was a beautiful clear day, the sea was almost flat, and there wasn't a salmon within 30 leagues or however salmon measure their expeditions.  We spent a couple of hours kidding ourselves then raced off to Reading Rock (about 20 miles north of Trinidad) where we limited (two per person) in ling cod in another two hours.  About a half hour of that was spent haggling with Fish and Game over trivia regarding the boat registration.  I'm happy to say that nothing came of it.  We finished the day with a couple of drifts over bottom fishing country and picked up some black rockfish to fill out the fish locker.  Now, back to packing and scheming for the great Odyssey.
