Year End Recap, New Species and PB's. Bonus UPDATE 12/15
Hi everyone.
I have been off the water for the past few weeks and miss the action. But many of you are having some great end of year action to report, so thanks for sharing the stories. If I can't be fishing, I might as well read about it when I can.
I spoke to Arthur and we agreed that it would be interesting that I post a report of my years fishing.
So with that said here it is.
I started off the season in March with a Steelhead fishing trip on the Chetco and Eel Rivers and then wrapped it up with a Rock Fish trip in October. During that time I put a goal of 20 different species of fish to catch on my to do list. Not a predetermined list, just a number goal.

I really need to give Kudo's to Mikey aka Exfactor for all that he did to make this Goal happen. We had a blast up until the boat motor went down. We still managed to do alright with the help of some of his friends.
I hope everyone enjoyed the quick trip back through the best season of fishing I have ever had.
Have a Joyous and Safe Holiday Season
See ya next year
