Went out of sandy yesterday at 5 went right the mouth of the salmon river. At 11 am I surfed my 22' Skeeter back through the sandy pond channel. The biggest waves were over 12. Not a fish from 20' to 100' even bait was scarce compared to Saturday. I am hanging it up for the year. The fishing might not of been as good as prior years but I can't think of anything I would rather do than spend a day looking for Salmon, catching fish or not!

Fished 80 to 150 stright from the river 1/2, 21 lbs female busting with eggs and very black. down 85 in 150, 51 degree water green flasher fly. pulled JPlugs for about 4 hours down the chute no takers. may go out this evening if the rain lets up. A few guys on the radio saying fish staging in 70" in front of the river. the lake is pretty nasty, took a few over the glass late morning.

I have had similar problems in the pat running pinch pad releases below the probe. few years ago i switched to Chamberlain stackers above the probe and never had a tangle since. The great thing about Chamberlain releases is that the rad tension and the release trigger tension is adjusted separately, i run very tight rod tension and adjust the release tesion as light as the rig will allow. if a fis touches it it will go of. with the high rod tension you can crank down your 8-9' rigger rods with false releases. i think you hook more fish using this method. this year i have started using the Chamberlain stackers on my side planers and the work way better than any other rigger release i have ever used, they slide down without issue and release instantly when a fish hits the planer rod.

Came up to Sandy Pond Last Saturday and have been fishing all week, lake has been a little angry all week. Fishing has been very tough, i have been out every morning at dawn and usually fish till 2 or the lake chases me off. Not one fish in the boat yet. I have tried everything in my arsenal. Flies spoons of every color combo and many different bait rigs. even put out the planer boards a few times with no luck. I was getting a few hits or releases to come up empty,so switched to single hooks. i went to the inlet this morning and decided to turn back, there were 6 footers at the shallow break. being alone in the boat i decided to wait until the afternoon fish. This is the toughest week of fishing i have ever had in Mexico bay, I was here the last week of July and we killed them, Kings, coho and Lakers. As my 12 year old daughter always says the fun is in the fishing catching fish is a bonus. That being said I have had alot of fun this week but i am still waiting for the bonus! The weather report says it is going to calm a bit by noon so i will go out for the afternoon fish. i hope i can get out to some deeper water i have had no luck in front of the plant or the river in that 90 to 150 fow range. Tomorrow looks like the best weather on the lake maybe the Kings will agree and join us for the party. The King i did hook and got a look at was on a Brown and white stripe Pro king Spoon dipped in Smelly Jelly Salmon Feast with a 30" leader and a White and pink chipped flasher. Down rigger at 90 in 105 Fow. the water was rough and i had to stop the boat to gain on him, i got it to the boat after about a half hour, he was over 20 and very light colored. I t is nice to see some of you guys catching fish, i hope to join the club by the end of the week i have to head back to the grind on Saturday morning. i am running out of time. Wish me luck, all the technology in my boat is not working this time! Cheers Mike
