I'm a wimp. I wear those thinnish rubber on the palms and elastic on the backside gloves. It is a little harder feeling them when you are trying to grab the syphon and pull them out. But you don't get cut.

Hey Zee, I live in Oregon. Not that you give a ****.

Just found out that I drew an Either Sex Elk Permit in my neck of the woods for the upcoming Rifle season. This is a pretty big deal to me and I am MORE than a little excited! Less than a 7% chance for drawing one of these and I have been trying since I first got to Montana.

Awesome. Thanks to you and a couple of friends of mine I have added a trip to the west coast to my must do list. I don't know when but I will get there to partake in some of this fun at some point.

Slow morning clamming, five razors. Tomorrow will be a lower tide and low tide will be after sunrise, giving much more time to get more clams.

Four days fishing the opener for rockfish, got a personal best 23" cabazon and a 29.5" blue meat lingcod among many other fish. Put in about 26 hours and 30+ miles on the kayak getting on the fish. Trolled my arms off for salmon without a scratched herring to speak of.

Yesterday's 3 species bests, lingcod, cabezon and a black rockfish.
