Finally Got One

[GOT2FISH]

After fishing the Salmon River five times I finally caught my first Salmon it was a Coho Hen {fin clipped of course} that wieghed in at ten pounds even. I know its not that big but man am I pumped. Got on a yellow Buzz Bomber at the 101 Bridge. :dance: :dance: :dance:

Congrats, I assume the fish was fair hooked. Be aware, both that location (and that lure) have a bad rep for being snagging stuff...

That's great. I have caught steelhead and chinook, but I have yet to land a Coho. Was it a chromer?

[GOT2FISH]

Yes Sir fair hook inside of mouth right side also made sure two other fishermen on bank saw it before I pulled the hook,I'm glad things have gotten tighter there and I do belive in fair catch only!!!!!

SKP, stick to the way you are fishing, trust me.

I would imagine you could fish it like a spoon, especially in deeper water. Don't really know though, never used them??

True ******, bobber and eggs has been real good to me lately (or should I say float and eggs :grin: ). Why re-invent the wheel? But then again, I'm always wanting to learn more, in the river's classroom. Just want something new to add to the arsenal.

I tried Kwikfish on a whim, and I've caught 9 in the past couple years using Kwikies during otherwise down times on sea weed infested incoming tides. Perhaps there is a time when Buzz Bombs work when nothing else does. I don't know, just inquiring.

Float down! :grin:

[GOT2FISH]

****** Please dont leave it alone some of use want to learn and this is the best way. I you have a opion I personaly would like to hear it If theres something wrong with this make use al better fishermen and taech use the right way thanks :shrug:

[GOT2FISH]

Boy I should have spell checked that one sorry

[Nanook]

Congrats on your fish. No offense. If you want to be a better fisherman, don't use Buzz Bombs in the Rivers and leave them in your tacklebox.

In our Rivers I take issue with the fair to foul hooked fish ratios when they are used, even when fished "correctly." "Correctly," meaning a slow direct vertical jig motion. Don't set the hook on anything you feel during the upward motion. A fish will normally hit it while it is falling freely on the downward motion.

Just me, no further opinions on the subject from me.

Good fishing.

Thank You

I've never fished Buzz Bombs because of the bad publicity. However, I'd like to learn to fish one correctly. How does a person fish a Buzz Bomb?
