Had an outstanding day today fishing with Salmonhunter4, FX, Sliderbite, Eskimo Joe, & L&M. We took it easy getting out on the water, giving the boat's windshield time to defrost & by 9:15 we were going thru the chute. We no sooner got 3 rods rigged on the planer board & a rod fired. Eskimo Joe's lightning quick reflexes sprang into action, but he was too short to get the rod out of the rodholder. FX handed the rod off to him and he, Hank, & Bill continued to rig the other planer board & a second rod fired. Joey was bringing his up to the boat & I fought the 2nd fish. Finally both fish were landed and we had 8 rods rigged on the planer boards. All of a sudden, we had triples, landed them all, reset the rods, and then had a quad going. We were all laughing about our good luck and having a good ol time of it. All 4 were landed and we continued fishing. At the end of 4 hrs fishing, we had landed 17 Browns & 1 Coho. (dropped 3 through the day) Browns were mostly cookie cutter 5-7 pounders with a nice 10 and 11 pounder. The Coho went about 5-6 lbs. Color didn't seem to matter today as we caught fish on everything we threw out there. Sticks and spoons took fish equally. It was one of the best days I've ever had on the water in a long time being with good friends. Catching fish was the bonus. If you haven't put your boat in the water yet, do it soon. The fish are in and waiting to play.
Here's Hank dancin a jig he's so happy
