Christmas Week
December 28th, 2007I was fortunate enough to have the week of Christmas off, and my family in town from cali. While the Girls were shopping I was able to get some time on the banks with my brother in-law Ted, and Nate. Ted and I went up to the hood on Monday and fished hard all day but the water was high(6.5) and dirty (4″ visibility) No luck for us but we did see one fish landed at the way upper box.
Nate and I went to the Kalama and the lewis on Thursday. It snowed on us all day, what a beautiful site. Nate hooked and landed a nickel 10 # wild steelie that must have came out of the water10 times, it was awesome. We didn’t see any thing else on the kalama so we jumped over to the lewis and saw about 5 fish landed down in the long line only club. the only thing I caught that day was a buzz.
Today, Friday the 28th Ted and I went back up to the hood. What a difference from Monday. There was 3″ of fresh snow on the ground, half way sunny skies and the water was the kind of green we all like. Some dude was posted in ‘the slot’ most of the morning with a bobber and jig not hooking anything(Sal you know the guy I’m talking about), but we fished hard and patiently waited for him to leave. After he did I decided to drift some sand shrimp left over from yesterday through the slot and it didn’t take long to get 2 9# chromers on the bank, one nickel bruiser of a buck and a nice chrome hen. Unfortunately neither of them were Teds, and my freezer finally has a couple of slabs in it. good luck this winter fellas, hope to see you on the bank.
