Did the same ole thing. Got off work jammed down to the river for a 45 minute session...

Things were slow.

Caught two rather stripped up chum, then finally a nice brighter Chum that gave up a little fight as most brighter chums doo, one was on a green #5 fox, and the others I banged down with a jig using the chum bounce, chum cha chum chum CHUM!!! The bigger one played like a pro, so I felt obligated to use the action pic!

I then wound up pounding down a semi chrome coho. I was pretty suprised to catch such a bright 'ho this late so that was fun. Again on a jig using the coho twitch. Not to be confused with the Chum bounce. That goes something like Flick ca reel, reel twitch.

All fish were released without harm. I don't keep chum (period) but I contemplated keeping the coho. After a quick mental calculation I realized that my freezer and fridge have plenty of fish, family is not asking anymore since they have plenty so this girl went back to the gene pool.

All in all it was a good break from work before heading home. I was going to rate it a 3 but I realized that 4 fish in 40 minutes is better than some other days I have rated 3's. I did not make it out today so I am going to go out tomorrow afternoon after tidal change and see if I can find some brighter fish. Which is funny because I swing into the auburn zone every now and then and like everyone I catch a crap load but the fish are just not that bright. I think it is weird that so many people are keeping these dark fish when you can drive a few miles further to catch nicer ones but then again I am just a snob when it comes to tastebuds...

Keep em tight. If I could up load another photo I would show off my new Chum jig, it is sickulous and makes them go wild but alas only two photos per report... till next time
