New Fish
This place used to be stupid with fish.
And crab. And geoduck. And bottom fish.
Now it's just mostly stupid.

Every crusty angler I know told me I was stupid to by a boat.

Don't get me wrong, there's still lots of opportunity out there. It just isn't easy like it used to be. We used to get Dungeness crabs and silvers off the dock. I still get crab and salmon and steelhead, but it requires real effort these days - just as my tolerance for effort declines.
I heard the same story from my dads and granddads, though, so I'm just the next in line singing the same tune.
I used to find it pretty easy to get pussy, too, and now that requires effort as well.
Fuck my life.
My ignorance for the days when you could walk across the river on the backs of salmon is a benefit. Dad always drug me into the woods with him but the river was his, alone. I'm just getting started, crab/shrimp like crazy but currently shopping kicker and downriggers.
