Just 1 for 2 today... can't complain

[bran_man]

Decided to go a little out of my element today and try some spinners for summers. To my surprise, the prime hole was vacant. So about 5 minutes in, I feel what's like a little trout tick. Set the hook, line dead in the water, bam fish on! Does one good/long run and 5 jumps later and spits the hook and swims off. Was a beauty. Then I noticed 3 steelhead just laying right in front of me. So I spent the next hour literally throwing everything I had at them, but they weren't having it. So I decided to go back to throwing my spinner at the hole. Again, about 5 minutes in, slam this time! Fish on! Fight her for a while, bank her, tag her. Was a beautiful chromer at 31 inches and I'm guessing at about 10 pounds. she was a very thick/deep fish. Was hoping for more action, but I got to go home with something so it was still a great day!

You need to get with plumb2fish, he is a master with the spinner. I dont know how he does it, but he has some sort of spinner magic he works lol.

31" is a big one and it's a chromer too,

 

[bran_man]

Thanks! Yeah its way fun to hook and fight bigger ones. But at the same time, I'll take what I can get though! Ha ha

Troutski always tells me to "Stick with what's working and what you know". I guess you proved his point. Nice fish, Bran_man!

Thanks Tanner! No not not too many people out there salmon fishing yesterday at least. I heard someone on the third jetty pulled one in, but most of the people out on the river were fishing for summers. Didn't see any boats targeting salmon, most just anchored and side drifted. Some chinook in the trap amongst the summers as well.

Ha ha thanks a lot guys! Makes me blush! yeah I've just been going out every single chance I can get (kinda hard to do with 2 jobs and no days off). My wife probably isn't too happy about it, but she understands ha ha. I also got a lot of help from dtikey. Mike is seriously the man and SLAYS the fish. His tips/tricks have helped me out a lot too. But yeah, I am getting better every time I go out. Loving it! Thanks guys!
