Hit the lower river a bit late this morning, only a couple guys up from me... bait up with some roe from yesterdays fish, plant a cast out and Coho on....after a spirited battle get the silver coho to hand.  Nice medium sized hatchery.  Looked to be a good day, but only a couple more pretty fresh chum and that was it... still a nice day and got some more fresh roe for the weekend.  Nothing on blades today, unlike yesterday when both Coho were on blades. Here's a couple pics from the last 2 days.

I swear chedder fish take the weekend off. This Sunday i got totally skunked, fished upper to lower on blades , roe even jigs. All i got was one strike that i slept on because i was already on Tilt. Everyone i talked to had same thing to say. The weekday reports seem to be a lot better.

Less pressure = less spooked = better fishing???

[Floater]

Only two rods in the first run i fished mine and my buddies, one that has produced Ho`s earlier this month. So yes i agree with you but that was not the case this weekend.

I don't know... we hit 10 coho between 3 of us on sunday.... all very fresh bar chrome fish... 

[minnie-me]

[Big Steel]

[NiceFish]

Well you did say "hit"

[bluenoser]

Nice car..nice fish..when you use roe from the day before do you pro cure it?

It usually takes me 3 days from start to finish for curing and preparing roe before I use it....not an issue usually because I don't think I've fished 2 days in row for years.

How does it take you 3 days to cure roe!? What method do you use?

I just dried it out for about 10 hrs, threw it in some borax and grabbed it out of the fridge on my way out of the garage in the morning....

And thanks, that's my baby!!

I cure pautzkes fire cure as per their directions, which is 2-3 days in the fridge. Pro cure is 10 hours max. I would fish pautzkes after 10 hours aswell if I had to. I just happen to have a well stocked bait freezer.

I've used paitzkes after 2 hours, as long as its dried for a bit after its workable

Nice Dave, at least you got one.

We had the worst trip, ever.

Not because we were being crowded out. In fact, we saw six other people all afternoon - Three at the beginning of our trip, three at the end of our trip on the way back to the car.

We didn't land anything. Nina lost a fish and I missed a bite at last light when we found some active coho, but that's not the worst thing.

it's the worst trip because my DSLR and wireless microphone receiver went for a cold bath this afternoon. The mobile tripod made a $2,000 flip right after I finished a shot, while I looked away literally for one second. Cameras go for a swim from time to time, but this one is a little different since our business depends on the setup.

Good excuse to upgrade I guess.

[frozensalmon]

sorry to hear that Rodney

as for upgrade, mind asking what dslr you recommend? lol since I was wondering to buy one long time ago, but always have no clue what's good to buy
