Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Just for Bart - A Fishing Thread

All right guys, Bart made a good point. Let's talk fishing. Not much to update folks on from where I live. Sounds like a few salmon are hanging out. My dad (who lives about 100 miles south) picked up two kings in the 25 lb. range a couple weeks back. Another buddy of mine picked up some small ones last weekend. But I don't have to boat nor the gear to fish winter kings around here.

What's moving for fish in your areas?

One of the two my dad caught. The tape reads 39" right around 25 lbs.


two smaller ones my buddy caught. Both were right about 29"

Nice, some good looking fillets on them.

The winning fish in the Discovery Bay Salmon Derby this last weekend.

You guys make me sick. I'm 2000 miles south of you and our water is still dry matter (frozen).

Nice... I have no fresh fish pictures. But I do have this picture to share, sort of fishing related.

I'm going to bring it home on monday, unless I find something really long with it.

It looks like exactly what I want, my fingers are crossed.

Nice boat Dave!

nice!

Dave,

What type of fishing do you guys have that requires downriggers?

Here, our lakes have a pretty defined thermocline, starting around June, and not turning over until fall. We use downriggers to get into the therm for trout and landlocked salmon (depending on the lake, 25-75 feet, usually). For Mackinaw, like up at Tahoe, or Donner, because the waters so clear, guys will run downriggers to 150 feet.

Some guys on the bigger MN lakes run em for walleye.

That's what I would use them for anyways.

Only at around 30' for lake of the woods MN walleye fishing though, pulling plugs.

A little further east in MN there are some lake trout opportunities where a person could probably make use of downriggers too.

I'll have to report back on Tuesday on the boat.

Money in hand, fingers crossed that it is what the seller says it is.

I'd second the "nice boat." comment. The shop I go to is a Lund dealer, and I drool every time I'm in there. But I've got a good little boat, and that makes me a lucky guy. Have a blast, and good luck.

We had an 02 model just like it but with w single merc EFI 115 four stroke. we bought it new in 02. Sold in 04 when our youngest child was born.

It's been 8 years since we sold it and we really want to get back into that type of boat again.

Here's a few pics of the one we sold in 04.

Are those resident Black Mouths?

they come from a mixed bag. Some are Stikine River fish, Taku River fish, some are BC fish, some belong to the local hatcheries, and some are Columbia River fish. I know out on the ocean they get more of a mixed run, I believe most of the fish on the inside waters belong to the local rivers.

Nice! I'm from California, though. Why's your grass and everything all white?

your gonna love the kicker!

Where is bart?

Where is Tom?

Bart budy, if you check this I hope all is well.
