Midway through Radium 223 and look what I caught....

The treatments have left me pooped but somehow I muster up and go ocean fishing for salmon. This is from Friday. Ocean season closes today.....I got out 7 times. Kicks my butt, but it really motivates me.

Nice catch! Where are you located?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

NW Oregon Coast

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I have a house in Lincoln City a block from the beach. Love it up there.

[Shooter1 in reply to Hidden]

Vacationing in Lincoln City this Aug 13-20. Chance for a cup of coffee?? Love that salmon catch.

I won't be there until September, otherwise would love too. Live in California most of the time and do short term vacation rentals at the place in Oregon.

[Shooter1 in reply to Hidden]

May have to talk to you about that for next year. Live in North Idaho and visit daughter and her family a couple of times a year in Eugene.

Here it is if you want to see it.

Looks nice. Forwarded to my daughters to look at.

[Hidden in reply to Shooter1]

Thanks. It's a great house for a large group. We had 10 people in the big top floor room and didn't feel a bit crowded. People can do different activities and still feel together. We put all new, quality furnishings in it. I wish our California house was as nice.

Thanks for the vevo. My wife and I are always visiting Oregon coast. Your place looks GREAT! May end up renting one day!

[Magnus1964]

Live the dream.

[Tall_Allen]

I'll be over for dinner tonight.

[SPEEDYX]

You look relax and enjoying!!!

[Hidden]

Mmmmm👏

[timotur]

Definitely a tasty haul, looks like chinook, catch them trolling with minnows?

[Hidden]

I'm having a craving for salmon now!

Good thing it's on my special prostate cancer diet. I'm having pork ribs tonight (also on my special prostate cancer diet).

[Maleko808]

Nice catch! Love the NW coast and getting out to see if we can hook a couple.

[Walkingwell]

Well done 8knots! Good eating, too. Inspirational. I just had 2nd R-223 shot, let's see what I can catch in the river . . .

[Cateydid]

Awesome! Good on you for fighting back and living your best life!

[DenDoc]

Fishing therapy always works for me. Have a trip planned for this Friday with my grandson. No pity party when out on the water.

[Fanger1]

Time for a salmon bake with your Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. What a way to end the season. We're going to try for trout at Payette lake in McCall Idaho. Best of luck with your treatment.🐟

[keepinon in reply to Fanger1]

Just left McCall yesterday where my daughter lives. Love that area!

[TwilightZone]

Love it, love it. I can't do much ocean fishing in south central Texas, but still love your story.

[treedown]

What's the weather like down south? 85 here today. It's time to pull some salmon out of my freezer, though I did not catch them myself. Enjoy and keep doing and eating what you love and thanks for sharing.

[Hidden in reply to treedown]

We rarely get above 70 F on the coast. That is why we spend summers here.....besides the fishing and crabbing. Trying to get a trip into Canada in September for steelhead but I don't think I'll legally be able to get across the border.

BTW, fish are coho or silver salmon. We get Chinook/King as well but not on this day. Very low salmon return this year, hence the early closure for ocean.

[treedown in reply to Hidden]

Same here but this week we are having a warm one, but I am on the sounds not the coast. Aren't coho also called pinks? King and Sockeye are my preference but haven't eaten any Salmon I have't enjoyed. I do like to smoke the coho more than the others. As of this writing the border is still closed, I am a few miles from it. Where do you usually go in, I assume BC?

[Hidden in reply to treedown]

I went to the Skeena River for 9 days last year. Fish, bears and beautiful, remote, wild environs. Camped with buddy from MT and he brought up jet boat.

Foggy day here on the coast today. I love to smoke salmon as well as make Gravlax. We also harvest lots of razor clams. Super tasty!

[treedown in reply to Hidden]

Sounds great, and plenty to keep you going. Nothing like good exercise and a meal. The jet boat sounds like fun with a emphasis on sound. My friend got rid of his because it was too loud. I am heading to MT in a couple weeks.

They're not real... they're cardboard cutouts...👀

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
