Multnomah Channel 5-18

[swampy]

We found a couple !!! Took a buddy, new to springers ,to the channel today ...He had a good take-down early AM ... then I boated a bright 22-24 lb hen , went looking for her boyfriend but found a 12 lb native that swam off with a kick of her tail and a refreshing splash to my face !!! Then found her big sister !! 26-28 lb , my biggest ever , with mature eggs and sea-lice ! Next it was my buddies turn to weigh in ...a 14lb hatchery for the box. Nice to be the lucky boat !!!

Nice job :grin: Good to see that the channel is still producing. What part of the channel were you in?

Two good grabs yielded one 18# keeper for us, a nice morning to be on the water.

A neighbor of mine went out on Saturday and fished the Coon Island area and they put 4 keepers in the boat. I guess they are still coming in good. He caught it on plug cut herring too. :smile:

Swampy, Sunday proved to be a lot slower, unfortunately. We were fishing before six and didn't get a fish-on until about 10:30 - a very pretty wild fish in the mid-teens size range, which we carefully released without netting.

Our friends in a second boat went one hatchery fish for three rods.

Quick spinning herring on the bottom was all that worked. On Saturday we got our hits fishing suspended 9-13'.

Sunday, that fast action was that guide who wears the blue gloves. Including a triple, I must have seen him with at least six fish for three clients.
