Ok, so heres the dealio :D
Testo,Roekid and myself finally arrived at the river at around 7:15am, due to loss of directions :D
Anyways, we started fishing with not too many people, althought many more arrived as the day progressed.
Glad to meet you FishFreak, I saw you early;however, I ended up fishing up a bit. FF looked to have hooked and landed a lot of fish along with another fellow next to him who I did not have the chance to meet. Out of the three of us, TRK hooked and laned the most fish, then myself and even Testo's first time...he hooked into five near the end of the day;however, could not land any :P
Towards the afternoon, more and more people showed up and as most would expect, more and more springs were being brought in. Most, if not all springs were fairly dark,thus not many of us kept any. Testo ended up keeping a nice sized spring that a guy gave to him. TRK had a few nice "keepable" jacks as well. I only ended up landing four and hooked around 11, too bad I had too many close encounters with my float wizzing past my face due to the hook popping out :'( ;)
About an hour before we left, a small school of coho's came through and stopped directly across the other side from us. A man to the left of me hooked a nice 6lb TOMATO ;D ;D The next thing I know, the man to my right hooks a coho that is not red but had a small pinkish chrome. The man to the right of him also hooks one that was looking just about as chrome as your gonna get out there. I hooked a few more buzzer beaters before we left but they all popped off, cept one. Boy are those fish ever intent on not being caught! Around 4 fish, I geuss, took me down the river, having to cut in front of FF and TRK a few times ::)
All in all it was a great second day on the vedder for me and Testo. Also a great day for everyone else!!!
It was one of my better river fishing experience's! Mabye try and convince my dad to drive there tomorrow ::)
See you guys on the flow soon!
Oh ya, pics to come sometime tonight from Testo....what a guy, forgot his camera when I was catching my fish ::)

Well myself testo and lilfisherman made our to the vedder to meet up with fishfreak. We got lost on the way which cut into our time On arrival I see freak releasing a little jack spring. This was also testo's first time salmon fishing so After a little while of me helping him cast and teaching him, he gets the hang of it. Fishing Stayed pretty steady the whole day. lots and lots of springs but not many coho. On my 5th cast my float dips under and the battle is on. Turned out to be a spring in ok shape. However had enough fish and was not planning on keeping any. Then fishinaddict arrives and says he slept in. After 4 hours and no fish for testo he was getting a little impatient seing I have landed 7 already and fish freak had got lots and lilfisherman got a few also. His float then dives under and he does a wild hook set and says" I think i have a fish", Yes you do, However he was not the most experienced at this and ended losing it close to shore This then got his blood flowing and hopes up. In the end he hooked 5 more but lost all of them (you gotta keep your rod tip up testo ) . We decided to call it a day at 3:30. I ended up landing 12 springs, some in good shape, decent shape, and other in bad shape. All fish were realesed. Fishfreak and fishinaddict also did well with the springs. Testo has some pics and I fishinaddict has one! Im sure they will post them soon!, Good day on the flow and had a blast fishing you guys, Thanks again to testo for the lift, your a comedian . the mcdonalds drive through was funny ;D
-
HAHAHAAH!!!! That was soooo funny!!! I hope his sister didn't get to mad at him ;D
Everyone knows about the "last cast rule", right fishinaddict ;D
Apparently he did not. Oh well good day of fishing with you guys!
-

-

Thanks for the report,looks like you guys had a blast at your secret hole,hows the gong show over there today,i guess a lot of ripper too.Did you guys had any coho landed??? I will be out there tomorrow with leaping steely for more cohos ;) ;)

why is it that everybody on this web site post thier day of fishing and all it is about are chum (the 20 fish i caught ), or springs the (20 fish i caught), theses fish are the easiest fish to catch it takes no skill whatb so ever, ya its great to hear about peoples days on the flow , but really i dont really care about catching chum . good to hear that some guys are catching fish for the first time, but for the experienced angler to report on how many chum , or white springs they have caught really dulls my intrest in reading the fishing reports.
-
wow , i didnt even read all the posts untill after my first post, and i saw freak basically had the same idea,. so not the only one reading crap.

pssht. you and your stealths danny.

yeah ko
we arent as expert as you man
we cannot be compared with a fishing champion
you can perhaps open your own site and name it kofishingreport :)
-
Congratulations on hooking your first fish testo!!! Nicely done...soon you'll get a few to the beach...can't wait to see your smiling mug in that picture... ;)
Good to hear you had a great day,
rib
-
ya , you got that right, you are not an expert like me
-
Why bother taking a picture of those booots, waste of taking them outa the water.
-
Ko you are really something. Cant you see these are kids? They are teenagers excited about catching fish. These kids are catching fish ethically while adults are under the KWB snagging fish. Ya Ko lets stop encouraging our young fishermen from posting reports and pictures. Give your head a shake!!!!
-
nice fish
-
ya , you got that right, you are not an expert like me
hey man whats your deal? ???.do u truely think you are better than everyone on this site? the way i see it, we are all at different stages of fishing. whether it be just learning, or been at it since you were born. if your so good, go somewhere else instead of reading our so called "laim" reports.
-
Nice, umm, purple Coho. I've seen those up at the Hatchery. Are they any good to eat when they're that colour? I thought the coho with the silver sides and white bellies were the only good Coho to eat.

Dont get your panties in a knot big guy :P Pictures help you remember how much fun you had as a teenager!, Yeah maybe there are not many coho around and all i caught was springs but it was a blast ;D I think KO is just a little jealous :D
-
Agreed guys. I think the general population just ignores posts like that. Trolling I guess its called? Anyway, looks like you guys were having a good time as fishing with friends, both new and old is the best way to enjoy the sport. Great action shots and you certainly couldn't beat the weather - thumbs up.
-
Thanks for posting the pics testo.
As you can tell by the time of my report...I did not get out today :D
-
Why would you discourage people LET ALONE YOUNG ones from posting reports or pictures from what they caught?
It doesn't matter if they were chum.. or springs.. they caught fish and they are happy with their accomplishment.. why would you ruin that?
I mean.. if you really don't want to read it.. you don't have to!
Nice report and great pictures guys.. really makes me want to get out there!
-
Sounds like you guys had a blast!!I enjoy reading your posts please keep them coming ;)That ko person should go read a book on how to behave around people or maybe just go away :P
-
Ya, true that!! ;)
-

second that ;)
-
Ya good job guys. Just ignore guys like that. Nice spring danny
-
Looks like you had a great day on the river , good pictures too . Gives us guys that can't make it out to the river more reason to get out there .
Any picture with a fish you caught, is a picture worth a thousand words .
-
Hey Nuggy, ya I am getting the hang of it now! I just need to know how to hang to the fish!!! :D
Three of my fish were heading back to the ocean downstream so I had to break em off!!! >:(

Howdy T_R_K, *LF* and Testo. Congrats to you guys on a successful trip out. T_R_K looks to be a good fishing guide. I know Testo is fairly new to short floating but last week Testo thought it meant he had to wear a pair of shorts to the river and he froze his butt off out there :D I hope he had pants on this week. Congrats to you on your salmon Testo, I`m glad you got to fish this week, I guess your new reel arrived or did you borrow one? Glad you all got into lots of fish as *LF* is pretty new to short floating as well and it sounds like he`s getting the hang of it to.
I won`t clutter this thread with a long response to ko`s comments but I feel I must respond as I am one of the people who had a report from the Vedder that included my tally of chums and a foul hooked spring(I`m so lame I can`t even hook them in the mouth) If you don`t like the reports don`t jump into a thread in the fishing reports page and complain about someone`s report, start a thread in the general discussion area so you don`t clog up a reports thread, especially one that could start a flame war over something silly.
On a last note ko, this forum contains a spell checker that you can use before you post. It makes it much easier for people to read your posts.
Cheers
Nuggy
hey Nuggy
