SALMON TRIP SUPREME

We just got back from a trip out to Portland and our first salmon fishing trip. All I can say is WOW, what fun. We went out with Dan from Quality Fishing and he truly knows his stuff. We started out at 6:30 AM and when he saw that I was with my wife, my sister and my neice I could tell he had his doubts. I told him he might want to rename his boat “estrogen overload” at the end of the trip. After stressing that we must listen to him when a fish is on and follow instructions he set out to put 6 lines in the water. Before long we had our first fish and by 10:00 AM we had limited out. The fish weren’t huge but man were they feistey, and tasty. I am definately going to try this again in the near future. What fun.

Sounds great! How did u fish? What kind of salmon did you all get into?

It was great. How did we fish? I’m trying to put it in words, we had six poles with line counters and a green winged thing above the lure that took the lure down. The lure that looked like the old flatfish. He tied a piece of “meat” to the bottom of the lure and then we let out the line. I am assuming that the lure was on the bottom of the river. Then he fired up his T-8 and kept us basically standing still in the current. We just waited for the fish to take the lure and then set the hook and the fun began. The fish we caught were Chinook, not really huge but for my sister and neice who haven’t caught anything larger than a bluegill it weas a lot of fun.
