Ryno: the fish was in deep water about 200 feet away from a spawning hump, which is still where all the macks are too. In its stomach were the crunchy remains of a crawdad, and a 4-inch fish that looked like a baby burbot. No spines, no gill plate like a sculpin. I've seen lots of sculpin, and I'm 90 percent sure it was a baby burbot. Had the same mouth and tail shape as the adult.
Mack fishing was HOT this morning for a few hours before the front and gale came in. It was kinda windy from the start and I had second thoughts about even going, but nobody else was in the bay, and we had bites every 5-10 minutes for about 3 1/2 hours. No big fish though. All 2-6 pounders, but you couldn't keep 'em off. Bite died about 10:30, and gale-force wind arrived shortly after. Now its snowing on the mountain.
