got to a new spot i was trying on the sky at about 545 fished till about 930 and had quit a few bites, drifting the x-factor eggs with shrimp sent. but alas. i missed every one. or i didn't set the hook well.. i was getting kinda fed up so i switched to a blue fox spinner #3 with herring sent from pro cure. first cast he hits it, it was a short fight but i was happy. he was only 13 lbs but well worth the time spent.


well after 20 years i finally broke my no catch streak for Chinook. that's why im rating this a 5 day.

i didn't want to press my luck to much, so i headed home

Congrats to you for hanging in there, I also need to get out & try the rivers. 2 yrs ago tried for pinks for the 1st time, not quite sure of "how to", but after at least 10 time out, (20 miles round trip) finally brought 1 to shore,..lost it. Will be out again this year, lighter line, (8#) longer pole, we'll see,...
