The greatest catch for me is the joy captured on the face of a kid with a salmon.
Salmon
Stringer Full of Salmon
Some mornings are very fruitful when your fishing with JR, using his secret techniques for August Chinook.
Double – Stone & Wolf
The youngster Stone hooked a nice “slightly bigger salmon” then his dad, starting the trip off with a double as they both fought fish together. Shortly after the first two fish were landed the powers of the “beard” cast its spell on the waters below bringing up numerous participants.
Eat, Sleep, And Fish
The magic of being young lives in the endless opportunities and adventures that lay ahead. For young Cody these new ventures center around fishing. Cody loves to fish and spend time with his dad. Their great journeys together include fishing rods, sandwiches, tackle, and a nearby river.
Business Strategy & Salmon
Working offsite can take on a lot of different looks. On this sunny Friday afternoon, business strategy and salmon made sense. With a new and quickly growing company, Seth and I had a lot to catch up on!
Silent Salmon
Bottom of the 9th with on a few minutes of day light glistening on Puget Sound Captain Sloan faithfully worked his cut herring in 150 feet of water. Dropping the mooching rig down till it bumped off the bottom, several cranks on the reel to avoid the sharks and flounders Sloan held the line steady. As the line tightened under the wait of a feeding fish all went silent. I looked over to see the captain focused and determined, then the magic began…Fish on!
Brite Eye’s & Salty Sea’s
Heading down the Oregon coast you’re bound to slip through the cozy coastal town of Newport. Early Sunday morning the Gaynor boys and I skipped church and headed for the open seas. We jumped in the 28ft North River Seahawk Os named “Brite Eye’s”. Cruising out of the harbor we were determined to do some salmon fishing. Much to our surprise within minutes of placing the rods in the holders the left rod tip started to throb frantically revealing the hoochie rig was under attack.
The day ended up with 5 beautiful coho in the boat, calm seas, and some vey satisfied fisherman! One thing that really stuck out was captain Mike Gaynor Sr. said he “always expects to catch his limit”! Fishing with confidence is a big part of being successful!

Helping Orphans In Africa
This donated trip to Hope For Life Ministry in Rwanda Africa turned out to be a reel burner for young Andre’ and his Dad. They hooked and landed 20 chum salmon that day. Even more amazing they raised $300 to help feed orphan boys and give them an education. This will sponsor one child for the year.
