Many fisheries "turn on" in October.

I wish every month was like October!!!

For October I am thinking - ling cod, rock fish, razor clam, crab, coho, chinook, steelhead, largemouth and striper. That would be a good month but I am sure it all won’t work out. We’ll see. Usually about half of my plans work out.
