Nook & H3L
She sang loud and proud today the Team Salmon CR season has officially closed… As a fore mentioned in the previous post by Hellcat. All I can say that about this season is that it was nothing short of legendary on many levels!!! Never before have we had so many closures from out in the ocean to Bonneville but we made the best of it for sure!
Two weeks ago we had Buoy 10 action right here in the backyard with no one around. Never before have I had such terrific fishing with no trips to the coast. The savings of gas combined with the thought that I haven’t opened a package of herring since July has me shakin my head!!!!
Not to mention what a great time fishing side by side of all you guy’s. I had to put that pic of Hellcat with one of the last of the season. I was so happy to see Hell, Richey, and Sal fishing along side of us! Way to get your catch on guy’s We have made a pretty good team since winter steelhead last winter. Even though Hellcat skipped out on me for springers!!!!! I don’t think that will happen again right Hell??? Todd, JT, Shorty,KennyMac, Richey,lets keep on bonkin !!!! I have a feeling that Team Salmon will be in full force drift boat style as soon as we have some rain. Tight lines boyz…..

Since I have already said this before….I won’t spend a lot of time glossing our season. I will just say that it was NEW fishing to many of us…and we are stoked to have a new weapon. Thanks to all who made a 7 week Columbia River Fall Salmon season unforgettable to this fisherman.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been fishy like this, and I am grateful. I was able to pull some more fish out of there this weekend..but I fear that was it….which means for our friend Matt Reid who visits from Michigan next weekend….a wobbler on anchor he will not see..Steelhead in our Gorge he may…but that’s for a different post………
Thanks to B Dog for being an amazing co captain on my Diamond Back. He had the anchor thrown and the rod and bucket in before I could even say ‘oh schnapp’….not to mention the above average net job, per usual. It should be noted that after the tide died downriver, B Dog insisted on trailering and going up to mouth of Sandy….which is exactly what we did. Two trips in one day. Friggin maniac. Good on ya mate.
LR, thanks for dragging pops and I around today….learn more every time I’m out there with ya, Pimp. I didn’t keep track of fish this last two months….which as someone else pointed out…”that means you guys must have been busy catching, not counting.” Which is true.
I would guess Team Salmon boated over 50 Salmon since September 1st, easily. Probably put some thought into that and get a better number….with the numbers that DD and LR had in their boats….and my measly dozen fish….I think that number could be even higher. Which is how I feel right now. High. Is there really anything better than fresh fish? Thanks for the intro to this fun stuff…to ALL!
A Released Native Silver
Gotchya
The Pyramid Marks the Spot
A rare late October hatchery fish
And Finally, if these birds looked at all like Pelicans, then I could say “Look at da Pelican fly, Pelican fly.”
As my good friend Hot would say….’high fives, hand shakes and hugs”…..Good job everyone!
