Title: Lower Vedder Sept 23
Post by: MERC on September 24, 2004, 01:57:16 PM
Went down to the Lower Vedder on Thursday around 10:30 ish in the morning.  Near Lickman.  What a zoo!  As I was planning to meet a friend there I decided to stay in the area.  A little old lady I was fishing next to said she counted 40 people fishing on this side of the river (parking lot side) plus there was a bunch of kids (maybe a field trip?) fishing on the other side.  On a weekday.  Anyways, water was on the high side, but good visibility of 2-3 feet.  First couple of hours, it was quiet.  Saw maybe two jacks landed, 1 coho. and 1 chum.  Next hour, I found the sweet spot and hooked 5 or 6 in a row and landed one shiny white jack, 4 lb range.  All in the space of 40 minutes or so.  Using peach and pink wool combo with a  squirt of shrimp oil that i had in my vest.  Don't think that made any difference, but then again, you never know.  Saw a bunch of fish rolling in the water, some jumpers too.  Definitely fish there, but not too many cohos.
