Default 8 for 9 Saturday

Fished the Columbia with a couple buddies Saturday in the Frenchman's Bar/Caterpillar Island area. We were the first boat in our hog line at 4:45. My friend starts putting on a clinic, he hooked and landed four fish by 9:15! I finally gave in and tied on the right K-14 and broke out the secret sauce. I got four out of the next five! We got the first eight to the boat. I hooked the ninth and it felt huge! At this point, my head was so big I got a little cocky and talked a little trash to a friend in another boat that was 0'fer. Talk about karma, *bink*, lost it... Three keepers on the day, my best Columbia springer trip ever.

NOTE: I am not an expert, I got lucky. I do not think I have any special fishing gifts. I did not/will not give specific locations away, out of respect for the friend that took me there. I will say wet hooks catch fish, especially on chartreuse tipped K-14's. Light me up if you want to...

Sounds like an awesome day. I had the same kind of day awhile back. The difference was, mine were all fish on just long enough to pop off the bouy. Great job.

Nice work. Secret sauce is where it's at. As it has been said before, it ain't the spot, it's what you've got working.

I have trouble posting pictures, but I have some if anyone wants to post them... Sorry to brag, it just feels good to be in the hot boat now and then.

Were you in a red/silver Thunder Jet? That boat also did quite well.... one guy was scraping the frying pan when he had to drop his chore and do the job he was there for.
