Had a good morning out fishing for coho salmon a couple hours before work.

Northeastern Wisconsin Great Lakes Sport Fishermen (NEWGLSF) kayak fishing tournament.
A great opertunity to win a new kayak, a Manta Ray 14 from Native Watercraft.

This a great tournament to fish if you love to catch salmon from a kayak like I do.

Fished with my father and a few friends on May 29th. Fishing was a bit slow, my dad landed two coho and I caught 2coho and one small king.
This is a short video from that morning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXAnKDL6O7U
