Brad,
I would be glad to if possible. PM sent.
Just got back from Neah Bay. Spent most of the time at Duncan pulling out Sea Bass and lings. No salmon for us but some people did comei n from the reef with 20-30 lb. bright salmon. None really biting in the straight.
Unfortunately there are no pics as me camera apparently didn't charge and when I tried to use it, it was totally dead. Bummer! The fishing was some of the best I have seen in that area. The bass were boiling up after bait balls and leaping out of the water. Trolling didn't work but casting was a blast. I have a really good casting rod and could hit them from 200+ feet so wherever they came up I could get right on them. Can't say how many we brought in but my buddy has a solid filet & release program. :lol: In fact the fishing was so good I had to quite before my body craped out on me. It's tough work when you really hit good.
And the bad news: Just before I left I was in the process of moving the Rhomboid Fairy Wrasse from QT to display figuring that would make it easier on my wife at feeding time, when I realized that I wouldn't be there to observe in the morning and see how things went. So I decided to leave it in the QT, and it decided, after about 3 weeks in there, to jump out. So my wife came home and found a fish stick! Talk about screwed up...I am so bummed since I had a nice pair of them and they are hard to come by.
Anyway, the good news is I picked up larger sumps while I was gone, and all the fish in the display are really doing well. No signs of Ich now for quite a while. My hat is off to Marc (melev) for his keen insite into dealing with Ich.
I did not get the wood I wanted since Edensaw is currently out of sapele in 8/4 slabs. They have a tree coming in the first week of August so I will have to make the trip back. And while I was out my package from Savko came so I can finish my mod to the skimmer, and my package from Eco-Tech also arrived with the new gaskets and shafts. Plenty to do over the next few days!
