Since it is my birthday today I had hoped to take off a couple hours from work in the AM to go play with the Coho. Well, that didn't work out, but figured I'd take advantage of what little time I did have....which turned out to be 30 minutes by the time I fought traffic getting down to the river. Tide was going out when I got there and the water was a little higher than I'd have preferred, but beggars can't be choosers. Saw another forum member, so went over to say hi to him. He said hadn't been there long either. A few people fishing around, but didn't appear to be much going on. I found a small slot and limbered up my rod. About the fourth or fifth cast into the current with my trusty jig and it was fish on! A chrome bright hen about 6 lbs. She fought well and gave up a good fight. After I got her marked the next 20 minutes were quiet until I had to jet. Apparently someone told that fish it was my birthday. :)

Nice Birthday fish BentRod. That's what I want for my birthday. But it will need to be in the form of Steel since my BD is in Dec. but that's ok with me. Nice work.

Right on! Doing it BentRod style. Love how you turn these 30 & 45 minute trips into chrome fests. Happy belated B-day too!

I was the other forum member he ran into...it was a pretty impressive showing...walked down, said hi, threw a few casts, marked a nice bright hen, then casually strolled off....like he was picking up milk on the way home from work or something, haha.
