PB Salmon, mostly
Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2022 8:34 pm
This skinny silver specimen is the longest salmo salar I've caught to-date. At 26" and 5lbs 4 oz, it didn't break the personal weight record though.
Caught this morning with the rainbow trout speedy shiner, 4 colors of lead on the inline planer board, over 160 FOW. It pulled line out hard from square 1, but never jumped. Dove hard when it first came to the boat.
Also today the personal smallest ever salmon was caught. A very feisty, fat 6-lb laker on the other line was just boated, unhooked, and revived. After the rowboat was sitting there motionless during all that time, I needed to reel in the second line to make sure it wasn't stuck on the bottom and to reset it. No idea a fish was on until this little 7 or 8 inch salmon was right at the boat ! Not sure how it thought it was going to eat that lure.
Went 4/5 between 5:30 and 10:00 am with the 2 salmon and 2, 6-lb lakers. Sent the Fishawk TD down by clipping it to the swivel on the end of one of the lead core lines, and temps at 5:30 were: surface=68, 15'=62.4, 20'=58.6, 25'=56.1, 30'=54.2, 55'=51.6
Happy 4th of July to everyone on LCU !
