2 lessons

Bait O' Eggs · 04-23-2001, 07:06 AM

This morning I saw 2 fish caught, and there might be a lesson in each of them.

The first was when a couple geese flew by and the boat next to me, pulls out a goose call and trys to turn them around. He no more than starts to call and his rod goes off. It was a summer steelhead. If a goose call brings steelhead, maybe a duck call would bring springers. Hmmmmmm...

The second fish was a whole new approach. I have been trying to get these springers to bite. Maybe I need to bite the fish. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Sammy the sea lion had success with biting the fish today.

Maybe I will stick to what hasnt been working. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Hey Bait O' Eggs, you're onto something here. Last May, my pal Kelvin went to church with me to Halibut hill. He brought along a diaphragm turkey call. While we waited for the flatties to volunteer, he tried to give me a turkey calling lesson.

It was interrupted by a double hookup on Halibut........ Hmmmmmmmmmm .....

Goose = Steelhead
Duck = Springer
Turkey = Halibut
Coyote = ???
Elk = ???

Enquiring minds want to know.........

Guess you need to figure out a fish call BOE [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Another morning without a bite [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] I know they are there the count is raising. Did you get crowded out of the spot again?

Bait O' Eggs · 04-23-2001, 09:14 AM

Steve, did not get crowded out today. Got there and a couple guys who I have not seen in the mornings were anchored up where we got crowded out of. They were the ones with the steelhead. They got up earlier than I did, so it was theres.

I was fishing to the outside of that and did get a good line bump. Fish was actually in the line for a few seconds, so I know they are there. Just not biting what I got to offer.

The call of nature brings the ducks in.

It has happened more times than I can remember. Your sitting there and nothing has been coming into the deeks for a while and you get out of the blind to relieve yourself. Then here they come all lock up and you have no gun and your hands are busy [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img]
