today catch of da day

[Brat Bonker]

thats a nice one, I make easy chenille jigs with marabou or yarn tails, I am going to try all my jigs on the cascade and cowlitz this winter. I still think my g loomis float rod is the best IMO along with a 9'9 berkely with a clear drift and aero jig/fish doctor.

[OFFDAAHOOK]

i like using a clear float for chum..color dont seem to matter since they aggrecive imo

[Bodofish]

They'll hit about anything that moves. We used to toss spinners like the size they use on the Columbia for kings, huge orange things. Just below the falls by the museum in B'ham. C&R all day on those uglies!

[OFFDAAHOOK]

true they arent picky funn as heck to catch like yo say ive caught them on beads and clear float ..nice jig btw bodo

[Brat Bonker]

First cast with a stee-lee spoon I lost a nice hatchery buck at the bankon the skagit, First cast with a BC steel on the cowlitz got me a 13.76lb summer steely and then 2 cast later I lost it to a HUGE...rock. My favorite bites are the spoons/spinner hits and a king egg bite, the tug is the drug

Nice one ODH!!! Those stripers are unbelievably powerful fish. I used to fish off of Pier 33 in SF for them. I had a buying operation there for a number of years. They hit like nothing else!!! A buddy of mine in Turlock fishes the Sac for them and always has stories for me! I need to head that way one more time. Thanks for the reminder!!!

[Brat Bonker]

[Brat Bonker]

we were with a charter and we were plunking eels and yeah those blue fish are mean teethy fish, if you though a chum was bad you have not seen a blue fish, we had hooked some that broke our line at the hook and we were using really heavy line too.

[Brat Bonker]

O, "the big quilcene" is like tokul huh tricky name I guess lol

yeah, there is a little quilcene less than a mile away, hey do you tie twitching jigs too? becuase those work real well in the right holes, think pink.

Saw him walk out with a small jack tonight. Lost mine in the bushes on the far side. Spooled me 3 times before he made a final dash for the bushes and got all snagged up. Snapped him off and he stayed there for a while as he was pretty tangled up. Drove over to see if I could free him but he w gone by the time I got there. I'll get him next time.
