Vern works with Chuck & he and his wife Jean invited us out in there boat "Wager" fishing for Salmon in the Pacific out of Newport Oregon. It was my first time to meet them and they were so gracious, letting us reel in most of the fish. We went out about 15 miles and once we got out over the reef they wanted to fish Jean drove the boat most of the time and Vern helped us get the fish in!! The limit is 2 salmon/person and we caught our limit of keepers plus a bunch that we had to turn loose. The water was a bit rough and Chuck and I were turning green for awhile but once the fish started biting we forgot about being sick!!
