Fishing in Newport, OR 11 Aug 2013

 Our son, daughter, and grandson came over for our traditional fishing trip; Tyler joining us for the first time.  Brent and Tyler pose with our day's catch. Tyler got the first keeper of the day, but we all contributed to the catch.  Most were rockfish, but there was also a lingcod, green lingcod, and yellowtail.
 Of course we all had to take an opportunity to pose with our catch.  Penny suffers from seasickness, so she stayed in the coach and enjoyed the peace and quiet.  She didn't get quite as much of it as she had anticipated, however, since we limited-out in three hours.
This lady filleted the fish for one dollar each.  The speed and accuracy with which she did it were amazing.  Just listening to her banter as she worked was worth the price of her services.  We weighed and counted our fillets.  Using the market price we had seen in the local stores we figured that we wound up with $410.00 worth of fillets.  This amounted to a tidy profit on our investment.
The time we spent with Tyler the night before and the time spent out on the ocean together was, however, priceless.  The fish tasted pretty good too.
