Up by 4am to the smell of coffee, on the road by 4:30.
At my spot at 5am and completely alone. rigged everything the night before so I pretty much just hung out and relaxed and enjoyed the solitude of a quite river until legal fishing time.
Caught the first pink in the dark, caught and hooked many great fighters, kept only 2 as I really didn't want to clean and store any more than that and didn't want the meat to go bad. maybe I will learn how to can some later.
Used my new Okuma steelhead casting rod, its only 8 1/2ft but its so much better than my old rod, I love it. caught everything on a simple pink corkie, pink hook, tiny piece of pink yarn. I did try a horde kingfisher at one point but with no strikes I figured KISS.
if you set your alarm you can enjoy pretty good fishing for a while :)
some people dont like pink salmon for eating but I'll tell you what... I"m sitting here eating the most delicious salmon omelet I've ever had from Salmon that were in the water barely an hour ago and probably in the salt earlier this morning :)
