Title: Cap mouth June 19th
Post by: lucky on June 19, 2004, 04:16:51 PM

since my boat is broke down I decided on taking my little 9' kayak to the mouth to try  mooching for some coho with buzzbombs, didnt get out there till 1030, spent 30min drifting the mouth all i hooked was a nice flounder. So i gave up on the coho and but on some shrimp, I left about 3 because i was getting sunburnt, forgot the sunscreen, I ended up with at least a dozen nice size flounder a few tomcods, and a dogfish almost four feet long!!! i got it on an ultralight setup with 10lb leader was a great fight, had to paddle up on shore to land the thing. great spot for bottom fish, 5 min wouldnt go by without a strike of some sort

Hey Lucky, it was good to meet you, I was the kid with the fly-rod fishing with his dad. We didn't hit any coho, nor did we see any or hear of any saw or landed. I was fishing a small needle fish pattern and dad was fishing a gibbs croc, not a smiff for either of us.

Still, a beautiful day to be out, despite the lack of fish for us.

 I also fished the cap mouth.  I was using gibbs crocodile spoons in the silver colours with a blue or green stripe.

 I heard one guy had one but lost it after a few seconds.  I saw one school of coho's being chased around by a seal or two.

That must have been you who we met coming down the rocks. Did you have a fly rod (Okuma reel I think...) in your hands and a spinning rod in your pack ?

If it was, it was good to see some of the people from the board.

No.  That wasn't me.  By the way, when are you going to fish the mouth again?

I don't know, I don't fish there much, I'll PM you if you want the next time I head out. Most of the time we use the boat and fish riggers or mooching gear, but we decided to go quite quickly and we didn't want to get the boat out.
