Fished from 4 am to 1 pm, C&R 5 uglys below the bridge in the morning befor 9:30, moved up... It was red dawn at the hatchery but they where pulling in fresh fish, landed 2 bright hens, a 7 lb. And a 9 lb. and a couple more uglys
Arrived @ 10:40 hrs and caught nothing. The water was too low and fish were old. 3 guys got $109 ticket for fishing near the hatchery rope. One of them was my friend. I understand if you cast over or under the hatchery rope, but there are no sign stating the distance to fish by the rope. Oh well! Should be good fishing when it's high tide. Good Luck!
minter creek, arrived at 10 left at 12, nothing one hookup though, the chum run for minter is done and over. saw one decnt fish taken, everything else was rotting off the bone
Fished on the outgoing tide. A few spurts of spawned out chums but no significant numbers. Saw no fish worth keeping. Would not waste the gas to fish here.
Fished Minter on the incoming tide. Schools of chum finding their way up to the hatchery. Green or red corky did the trick as almost everyone on the bank had a fish on. They're holding in the deep spots (which are few and far between.
got on the creek around 7:30 so i could fish the tide out an back. fishing was good, but as the tide fell the hole just packed full of fish. started the morning off fishing a 2/0 hook with corky an yarn but was foul hooking to many fish. so i dropped to down to a #4 octopus hook with a #10 watermelon corky and proceded to hook probly around 70 percent of the fish in mouth or jaw (kept getting the lil hook straighten though). there was a couple hundred fish in the hole at low tide so it was impossible to fair hook'em all (even the few fly guys i saw had the same problem). lots of chromers todays, i fished til around 11:30 got my 4 hens (one nickel the others just started to color up) and released 30 or so fish. was crowded today, but i was fishing to a couple of guys that were funny as heck so it didn't matter. it was a fun day at the zoo!
got there early. I landed over 80 fish. Everything was working. lots of chromers today. i fished til 11:31. I got my 4 hens again. It was crowded. I need to lose some weight cuz i barely got out of the mud I looked like a fat pig. Be careful.
Long trip got there around 9:15AM, Hook alot of fish (20+) took only 2 home that I liked. I didnt think it was all that crowded maybe 17-20 people. The regulars and resident fisherman were very nice to fish beside. Thanks for the medical gloves man made a difference in warmth.
Fished from 10 am till 3, had plenty of hook ups although because there are so many lots of fouls. Limited out none the less. I would recommend if you fishing any of the shallows to use only one smaller corky and a light weight. Best of luck, FISH ON!!
fished above the bridge for about an hour fish on about 10+ then went below bridge when tide went out down around bend near mouth fish were boiling up down everywhere...still some chromers lookin like silvers was a good day.. HAPPY daze...
Down at minter creek around 230. Hooked into bunch o chums. Landed a silver as well to my surprise. Gamie was waiting for all the poachers to come out during dark o clock .
Thanks for the spot man, Its too bad there are so many people that act like that down there and ruin it for the rest of the people that try to follow the rules. And thanks to the guy with the 3 oz cannon ball that wacked me in the face with it after walking right in front of me to fish thank.
Fished minter today, caught and released about ten fish. All taken on a small green corky. to many snaggers tho, guys using sturgeon rods with giant hooks. hopefully fish and game busts the poachers
Bunch of Snaggers there. Saw 1 guy using a big halibut rod with 3oz cannonball, WTF. He did snag one of the biggest chum right on the tail. He acted like it was no big deal and put the fish on his leather shoelaced stringer. I think he said his name was Jimpy. Keep a look out for him.
We fished minter above the kiddie hole on friday.Son used amy fly rod and i drifted.We had a good time till the snaggers showed up about low tied.watched them and laughed for a bit then got to discusted and left.Fished next to some GI`s so I was happy to let them have my spot.Thanks for your sacrifices guys.Keep your heads down and kepp fishing.
caught at least 30 chums all burned up of course. some of the fish were not o bad but all of the ones we caught were released of course if not a dime peice back to the water with you. lots of russians keeping soldgier chums and floating piles of compost; crazy time
Caught like 7 chums today. not nearly as many fish as there were last weekend. kinda nice it kept the snaggers from sticking around. Several fish took a small black corky with green yarn. They seem to be mostly dark tho
Got there late and wanted to get my first salmon on a fly rod. well i look like a drunk chicken when i cast an couldnt keep a hook in a dang fish. so i switched over to the spinning rod, i was using an orange corky (because that's what was already rigged on it) and caught a few. brought 3 home to smoke. there's still a lot of fish in there, but it should start dropping off here pretty quick.
got to minter early this morning, after seeing all those fish yesterday figured it'd still be pretty good. not so much. there were a few fish but nothing like it was. landed 2 and lost another 10 or 12. lots of old fish in there. this place is pretty much done in my opinion. plus side below the bridge wasnt crowded an only saw 3 snaggers all morning.
Went down to minter this morning. caught 5 fish but they seem all used up. this place is pretty much done this year. time for steelhead on skookumchuck
Saw only 1 Chum and 3 Silvers (Can't keep silvers), i noticed that they just opened the gate from the creek and hatchery so i guess that will push the fish up! FISH ON!
Slayed the chums. Green corky. Combat fishin was ok today. A lot of bright fish. Go get em.
