Knowing we had a long ride home, we left the fish biting. Lou was "done" for the day anyway He just turned 71 years old last month and I hope I still get out as often as he does to enjoy this resource.
The weather was supposed to deteriorate as the day went on, and indeed, it started snowing on our way back to the boat ramp. The intensity progressed as we ran north, and we soon found the boat covered in snow
It couldn't have been a more fitting end to the day, and possibly the season.

I can't think of a better way to finish. We arrived at my house after dark, and cleaned fish. Man, were they cold I was hoping not to cut my fingers with the filet knife, because odds were I would never feel the blade until it was too late



Mako Mike; I hope you enjoy the post. Heal quickly and we will get you out of the house for a couple of beers, some winter fishing shows, and ultimately back on the boat to catch some 2018 rockfish.
Thanks to Mike and Lou for a great trip, and yes, I did have one "celebratory" beer to mark the end of 2017 with Mike (Garlein) and Lou.
