There are times you just can't win for losing. Our charter today had decided to go rockfishing since salmon has been so slow. But that was before we got the hot news late last night: A couple of boats found some salmon off Duxbury yesterday, one of them even ending up with something like eight limits. So we gave our group the choice this morning: go guaranteed and go rockfishing below Pigeon Point, or roll the dice and head the opposite direction to Duxbury. Well, the decision was made and we headed to Duxbury. And we trolled. And we trolled. And we trolled. Unfortunately the bite didn't happen today, and we ended the day with another stinking skunk for the books. Sometimes we have to remind ourselves why we keep trying: the salmon season is still less than a month old, the season is far from over, salmon fishing can turn on just as fast as it can turn off, and the fish have to, they just have to turn up somewhere sometime. Doesn't help the sting much right now, though. Sure hope these salmon cooperate soon. In the meantime, if you'd like to join us for our Pigeon Point rockfishing trip this Sunday, we still have some space available. We'll be taking another stab at these elusive salmon on Monday.
