Well, didn't get to go elk hunting so I hit Minter for the first time. One word.. chaos. Lots of chum, mostly colored up but a few bright fish. I landed somewhere between 30-50, I lost count. Don't know how many hookups but I broke off at least 7 jigs. Could've gone up 15 pound leader if I'd had it. The tide comes in fast and the mud is thick so be prepared. I must have fallen on my butt five times. Slack tide seemed like the better time to fish, things slowed a bit when high tide hit. All in all a good time and a good way to spend Thanksgiving. Note: if you run jig and bobber, you only need to run your jig 8-12 inches below your float with 10 inches being about perfect. You can raise it up as the tide comes in but I did pretty good all day with about 10.
Fished Minter below the overpass today on afternoon outgoing tide. The river is still extremely high and dosnt drop down nearly as much as usual. I tried for two hours with bobber and jig.Not one take down,even with tons of fish swiming right by my rig. I switched to yarn eggs with garlic scent and killed em with that.
I went to Minter Creek on Friday, November 7. I only saw a few random fish. There were one or two guys fishing.
