Fishing in the rain

Today was a nice relaxing day. I couldn't really sleep in to much I was dozing from 7:30 till 9:30 when I finally got up. Since Sonja didn't get home until three this morning she slept in later. So until she got up I surf the internet, looking for fishing tips and whatnot. Sonja got up just as I started putting the shopping list together. She made us pancakes for breakfast and then we went to the store to get our groceries. After groceries I went out to the pier to try my luck at some salmon again. It was raining most of the day. I managed to go when it kinda let up for a bit. I caught 4 fish this afternoon. I was using a lure that I didn't know I had. Apparently it works pretty good, just not for catching salmon.

All I caught was this rock fish. I'm not sure what kind it is, I will be searching the web to find out and see if they are keepable. If their that easy to catch and legal limit, easy fishing. We also saw a cruise ship sail past on its way to Alaska. It looked like a smaller one, but a cruise ship none the less.

Since yesterday was my cousin Danielle's 1st birthday yesterday, the party was today. When I came back in from fishing I called to wish her a happy birthday and to talk with the family that has gathered there. I was able to talk to my other cousin Gavin who is starting to talk. He said "Hi Tyler." He's pretty cute. After talking with everybody I looked outside and saw that there was a whale out in the channel. Sonja and I rushed out there to see if we could get some pictures. Unfortunately it was pouring rain again, making it to foggy to see him. I was also to far away to see through the fog with the camera.

I made pizza again for supper. It kinda worked this time, except the dough didn't rise like it should have. But it was at least tasty when it was all cooked up. After supper I went out fishing again as it was low tide, meaning I could stand closer to the deep water of the channel and my cast can get to the big fish zone. I caught another two fish. Both rock fish of sorts, still not sure what exactly they were. I came back in and made some popcorn. We are now watching Rendition, and I will continue my search for the type of fish I caught today.

Picture of the whale. Unfortunately taken from my phone, so not the best quality.

Picture of the whale. You can see the buoy above him. The buoy is probably hundred feet from where I was fishing, making the whale much closer than that. This was also before he waved his tail at me.

That was our day today. More fishing for me tomorrow. Perhaps at the ferry if the weather breaks.
