Team Thunder from Hillsboro catches a few fish.

Well , the day started out rather wet, with rain and wind at about 20, but we launched at 9:30 (thank god we deciided to sleep in). Lots of other boats were taking out. By 11:00 the rain stopped and we had 1 fish, by noon the wind died down and we haad 3 or 4. We started to hunt and finally scratched out our limits. We also released 5 nice Chinook adn a few Coho with the magic fin. What a fine day to catch a few fish, make a few new friends ( thundersturck,johnny and Pete) and spend another day on the water. By the time the tide started running out at 2 or 3, the water had laid down like a tired puppy and the sun came out. So here is a pic of us and our catch, our catch without us ( a much better picture) and a pic of Pat (thundersturck)and his fine boat.

Woooohooo!!! [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Fantastic day. Couldnt be better. We scratched for them, but that was almost better than just dinkin em' all in an hour. I like to make a day out of it as long as the tags are punched.

Great crew. Fishbait and his knowledge of fishing not only for salmon, but fishing in general can teach a rook like me a years worth of experience in a day. [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Wow. Thunderstruck, another fine fisherman and superb boatsman, made the chop out there easy. Pete, another good fisherman and a pleasure to be around. Truly enjoyable and compotent people to fish with.

(Still wish I knew what that last one was! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img])

Nice fish gentelman and great pics. Did it really matter what depth and rigging/bait you fished with? Just hope you left a few salmon up there for the rest of us. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Looking forward to thrashing the water again this coming Friday. Thanks for sharing your trip info and pics.

BTW, who is who in the picture?

From left to right:

Thunderstruck, Johnny, Fishbait, and Pete.

The hot pole (fishbait), had a 1/2 red, 1/2 silver delta diver, a medium sized silver flasher, and 7 to 9' of leader......real hot pole. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Depth was all over, but I believe around 18-22 pulls got the most. Nookies a little deeper? And in 35-45 feet of water a couple hours after the tide started to push.

Good luck on friday!

Fishbait,

Thanks for showing us what to use and where to go. It was a great day of fishing. I went back out Sunday with Pete and we brought the wives. We boated 9 fish with only one under 10 pounds. The women had a blast.

Anytime you want a boat ride let me know!

Thanks again,

Thunderstruck
