Coho, she was tasty last night. Sauted the eggs in garlic and butter. Kids got some crab cakes from the catch on Saturday.Ain't no 'nookie like a chinookie! Good catch! Fillet's for dinner?
Thought I was seein' black gums... Either way, good catch and fun for shore!Coho, she was tasty last night. Sauted the eggs in garlic and butter. Kids got some crab cakes from the catch on Saturday.
They're tough to ID! I'm going to smoke up the last of her later.Thought I was seein' black gums... Either way, good catch and fun for shore!
I was using a long spinner with a pink body and red beads. It won't work very well for casting from shore due to the lack of weight. Trolling a flasher worked really well for me.Awesome catch! The first is always the hardest!
I hear the black lips and spots on the tail are the best indicators. Might I ask, what were you using? I've been throwing spinners off the jetty recently and only gotten a few bites (from what you can only imagine).
Comments like this make me glad that I went the kayak route. My only complaint is that I'll have to wait until the kids are bigger before they can salmon fish their own kayak.You need to put that thing on your visor and get a couple spares!
I really wish I had spent more time getting the boat ready to fish the nehalem this year... guess I'll be stuck competing for river front property again.
Tight lines!
I lived in Hawaii for five years and took a similar kayak out in the deep blue.Kayaks and canoes have always been my preferred mode of transportation on the water, which is why I really appreciate threads like this. I have a GF that can't swim; a bay worthy boat was cheaper than a kayak, even if it is a project.
Drift boat.... good in the bay, up in the estuary, and great on the river!!!Comments like this make me glad that I went the kayak route. My only complaint is that I'll have to wait until the kids are bigger before they can salmon fish their own kayak.
What spinner are YOU using?I've been throwing spinners off the jetty recently and only gotten a few bites (from what you can only imagine).
Pink vibrax candybacks, 4/0. A 5/0 or 6/0 with a hoochie trailer would definitely be more appealing to me.What spinner are YOU using?
I fished the estuaries and bays off the bank with the largest size (5/0) weighted homemade Jed Davis spinners. Silver (real) blade and silver coated body/beads, red 1/4" tape stripe on the underside of blade, red surgical tubing on the shank of hook.
It's a salmon killer. Might go a to a smaller one for coho season.
I also used a cork bobber and an anchovie off the jetty in the bays with great success.
