Hoping for a better shrimping experience, we moved to another inlet and with great hope set the pots in a couple of hundred feet of water. We had marked fish at about 90 feet coming up the inlet and decided to troll back toward the anchorage in Jane’s Bay that we had selected.
Other than our puny rock cod, we had not landed a fish. Jan at the helm and Doug manning the rod and managing the downriggers we were set. We had trolled about 45 minutes when Doug sang out those wonderful words, “FISH ON!” Only a newly wed would ask his bride to land a big fish that he had hooked. She fought hard and was a fun catch for both of us. Beautiful chrome that we estimate to be 35 lbs. She was 37 inches long with a 27 inch girth. Salmon for dinner !
