I was back to the coast on Thursday and Friday and it was more of the same. Crisp and cold mornings followed by beautiful blue, sunny skies and chrome natives.
We started off Thursday morning at about 9 a.m. with fish #200 for the year, a nice native hen.
We ended up getting 4 for 8 on Thursday and 5 for 6 yesterday.
I just can't get over how fun and powerfull these wild fish can be. You catch an eight pounder and you'd swear it was fifteen until you get it to the boat. And chrome, so chrome you need sunglasses to look at them. Three of our fish still had sea lice. Our biggest was about 14 pounds, it jumped three times, broke water, ripped up stream, circled the boat, and just plain tore it up!
We caught all our fish on eggs and they weren't everywhere, just certain spots are holding fish and those spots that were holding fish were pretty much holding more than one at a time.
Even though we stated at 6:30/7 we never caught a fish before 9 a.m. Typical for cold mornings.
The coastal rivers continue to drop and clear and I expect another nice wave of fish to come in with the next rain, but they're there now too.
For those of you that missed our Hot Tamale Show on wrapping and fishing Kwikfish it will be on again this weekend. Check out the show schedule at
