Crescent 10-25

[fish-on-bend]

I took Tom (rum runner) and friend Bob to Crescent today for a mack attack. It was Bob's 1st time mack fishing. I wasn't gonna fish this weekend but Waterfish said he was coming up for the weekend and a friend of his was also bringing his boat, then the weather forecast just kept getting better, ...........so enough pressure already, I gave in. Also saw 3 or 4 boats chasing kokanee with some success. They were all running willow blade lake trolls in 100 feet of water or so. Must be next years spawners?:shrug:
As for us, Tom got a nice one 1/2 hour into our 1st run.

After that I lost 3 in a row, 1 was a very nice fish, we saw his air bubbles at the surface after he pulled off. I've never lost 3 macks in a row before, and on a new lure too. And that was it for us. We tried jigging for the last hour and the macks weren't too impressed with our jigs either. I just got off the phone with Waterfish, he's still on the water and they got a couple today and the biggest mack he's ever caught last night. While I was on the phone with him his buddy called on the VHF and was fighting a monster. Sounds like Waterfish's report on Monday will be much more exciting than mine. But any day on Crescent when the water stays flat all day and the sun shines like July is a keeper in my book.
So we wait for Waterfish's report. :lurk:

Joe,
Nice........
Im taking a break from hunting while all the gun slingers try and kill a deer. So bored Im actually up at 3 am heading crabbing. If you fish again soon, I wouldnt be against pulling my boat up there and giving Macks a try. That is one fish my boat hasnt caught yet. Would be nice to see someone on the lake that knows what he is doing.

Fish-on-Bend,

Nice seeing you guys out there Saturday. We had a great three days of mac fishing. Still waiting for my brother and friends to email photos to me. This evening I hope to put them all together and post a report. :cheers:

Good job Joe.

Way to go Joe! Thanks for the report!

Thanks, Joe! Sorry we coudn't / didn't join you on the water. We chose to stay local and keep things simple by banking it and sitting by a fire at Three Creeks Lake. Looks like you guys had a nice time...the weather was just insane!

On Billy Chinook, we did see the kokes jumping in the Deschutes arm...trolled through with a wedding ring / worm. After seeing nwsoftball's post....maybe I should have put the jig to work. Saw the spawned kokes, but the silver fish were jumpin in places...looked like they were being chase -vs- feeding on a hatch. I have a lot to learn on that lake!

Nice, looks like a lot of fun. The weather sure has been great!
