10/26/2012 12:24:00 PMsweet, gives me hope for tonight! I will be fishing the golf course area. I just might need to try this jigging thing. spoons and spinners have been dead the last few outings, and they arent even sniffing my eggs. New cure was a bust I suppose. Time to open up the winter steel box an see what jigs are heavy enough to use on these little bullets. Purples?

10/26/2012 1:12:00 PMNice, I've been that guy in first line of your report for the past few weeks.
I think I need to change my jigging technique.
Well Done

10/26/2012 3:53:00 PMAnother nice job BentRod! Think it was oneshot that nailed the timing of your turnaround pretty well LOL (as far as saying you were due and it was about to go your way). You're really finding some consistency now on the jig! :-)

10/26/2012 4:02:00 PMYou were putting on a clinic today it seemed like every time I looked over you had a fish on splashing in front of you, Got to love it when the nets are up and there are no fish rolling no one is getting any bites and you limit. Another good day on the river.

10/26/2012 9:18:00 PMnice job Bentrod! I stopped down there this morning before having to leave town and may have seen you starting to head over that way.. I was up on the footbridge~ I only saw 1 guy under the bridge and a another down by the rock.. Congrats hope to see you out there sometime! I may be hitting the Puyallup or Chico next week but 112th is right in my backyard so can easily hit it for a couple hours before work if the tides are right

10/27/2012 9:34:00 AMWhat length does a Coho need to measure, to be considered a adult in the Duwi? I am not familiar with river rules. Just the saltwater rules.
BentRod
10/27/2012 9:45:00 AM@Moto, First definition on page 10 of the regs. For freshwater and Marine areas 2-1 & 2-2 for Coho any fish that is less than 20" is considered a juvenile/jack. My third catch on this trip was exactly 20".
@ Hooked - I was certainly having a good time. How'd you end up faring?

10/27/2012 9:50:00 AMAfter reading several of your reports, for some reason. I had thought your fishing attempts in the Duwi, had been filled with more fishing than catching. But filling a punch card is far from a bunch of skunks. A filled punch card is a good season. I am a few punches short of a filled card. But add in what the wife has punched on her's, and we are a few fish past the one card, punch full mark. Kind of lost interest after my third, full smoker load. Not counting vacuum packed fillet's ready for dinner consumption.

10/27/2012 9:58:00 AMMoto, LOL...no, you were initially right, my fishing attempts on the Duwi have mostly been unsuccessful. I did not mean that I completely filled my catch record card....just filled my limit for the day. I cannot imagine completely filling my catch record card. Congrats to you though! I dream of the day I can even get close. I've caught more salmon this year than any other though, so I'm working on it!

10/27/2012 3:20:00 PMAwesome!! Congrats!
Now that everyone else is catching.... Can it please be my turn ;)

10/27/2012 4:42:00 PMBentrod, way to go man, I am so stoked to see more folks jigging it and I ain't talking about under a float.... but then again, maybe we should stop giving out the secrets because if everyone turns it on like you are there ain't gonna be anymore fish, or they will wise up and stay away from Jigs... neither scenario is something I like. I tied up a new Chum Jig that is just destroying it, I am so stoked on it, I am going to tie like 10 of them tonight just so I always have a Fresh ChumBlaster ready!!! Great work, here's to some more stellar days rippin lips off the dirty dogs!
