man my fishing luck just keeps holding out for me one weekend after another i keep finding myself with great friends and good fishing! After a long hard week of work I get a call from my good buddy al to join him in a salmon fish and off we go 6am at the dock, on the water and it was heaven again.
Started out with a quick run to the fishing waters, and a good spred was set and it wasnt long we had our first fish of the day. it turned out to be a laker but hey! its a fish right lol who can complain when you have that throbbing feeling shooting down yer rod into your hands right to the arms .
wasnt long after we managed a shaker but this time it was a Chinook so we had what we came for and it could only get better from that point on and im here to tell you it did get better. MUCH better as it was my turn in the rotation and my smile lite up when the rod loaded with a dipsy started shakin. then it took off with a sing as the drag was winding out and it was game on. A little while into the battle i had long been waiting for another rod goes off and we are smack dab into a double as the back of the boat was now a bit crazy and both fish were dancing at the back of the boat.
we managed 2 more shakers and again its my turn and bam another good fish was on the rod what a crazy fish it was as it rushed the boat like Grant took Richmond and it wasnt long we had a mess as the fish is going back and forth thru the spred/ I hear the words from Al saying LET IT GO!!!!! Im thinking to myself this man is a nut case. let it go?? i mean we came here to catch fish not let them go lol. well he just shook his head and walked me (the rookie) thru the fight and untangled not one but two lines away from the fish and managed to net the fish. I thought this fish came off three times as it rushed the boat so fast i reeled as fast as i could to catch up......... this salmon fishing is some pretty crazy stuff
Long story short we ended up going 7 for 9 fish . with a few hard smacks but the fish just didnt stick. im now tired, sore, and ready for a nap. and still cant believe a man would say LET IT GO when a fish is in complete controul and rushing right at you lol. for the rest of you rookies. Let it go means open the bail so the fish turns out away from the spred!! lol
Thanks Al. what a great time we had
