Not bad for less then a half hour of actual fishing! A chartreuse speedy shiner was what was on the menu for this big bad brown!
We thought we would try our luck and run back through "the spot" no more takers so we headed north up the bay to check things out a bit. The wind shifted pretty quickly this morning as we were crossing the bay to head towards Red Rock. We had a hit on a medium Honeybee with the same paint/tape as "Effie's Dream" but nothing when we reeled in... Bummer, but not long after as we were heading past Red Rock (and out into the WIND) we had not one, but two hits within seconds! We had a little bit of a "snafu" with one of the rods so that one had to be put on "hold" momentarily while Bill netted a nice healthy looking salmon! Now back to the other rod, with a little bit of an issue, that had been sitting in the rod holder (for what seemed like forever) we both thought for sure that fish was LONG GONE by now... But NOPE! Still there... Bill brings in a second nice salmon! The live well was looking nice
One salmon came in on the same chartreuse speedy as the brown and the second was on an orange and gold honeybee.
We did a little change up on the two rods that hadn't fired and put on a lure that I had taped myself (craft night with the kids!)
Well don't ya know it! Wham a hit on that rod. We new right away it was a laker. Took a bit to get it up to the boat (felt like reeling in a log!) then he gave a little fight at the end, right before Bill scooped him up in the net (Bill I'm bringing our net next weekend! Yours isn't going to be nearly big enough for what we're going to catch next weekend!) Maybe a 23-24" laker. We picked this guy up almost in the same exact spot as where we started with our first brown. So now all four fish are lined up in the live well are looking at us like, "what the heck?"
Mean while, Bill and I are looking at them hoping we could add a nice steely to complete a grand slam, but no such luck... Next time! We decided to call it a day since it was getting damn chilly and the rain was coming! It started to sprinkle just as we got to the launch, talk about perfect timing!
It was also interesting to find that there was virtually nothing in any of these fish's stomachs. They're hungry! Let's feed 'em, or at least fool them into thinking they are the ones getting dinner... hehehehe
I had a really great day fishing aboard Popster's fine vessel and I'm very much looking forward to next weekend when we catch the monster that will earn us bragging rights until next year! Thanks again Bill! I can't wait until next weekend
That live well is just off the hook!!!!
