Took my brother from U.K. out today. Fished from 7:00am until 3:00pm so turned into a bit of a marathon due to extraordinary circumstances. Started at Sheringham and fished there until 11:30am without a touch. Then headed up to Muir with the tide arriving around lunch time. There then followed the most amazing 45 minutes of Chinook action I have yet experienced. First my brother’s rod went off and he felt a strong fish for 30 seconds before it ejected the hook. 20 minutes later my rod went off and after a few minutes we got the fish to the surface with the flasher plowing along and then this one too popped the hook. Oh for 2, but just 15 minutes later my rod went off again and this time after a very strong fight we boated a beauty 19lb fish, much to my brother’s amazement. His contribution was preventing my wife from falling overboard in her zeal to net this fish and forestall an oh for 3!!! We fished on for another 90 minutes but the madness had ended and no more hits were obtained.
Such a fabulous hot day on the water my brother’s photos are going to look like the Caribbean to folks back in the U.K. not Canada!!
Chrome/green and chrome/purple teaser heads at 64’ worked those 45 minutes of magic.[/QUOT...
Good to hear of your success Englishman. I was at the trap at noon and got a 20 lb. There were 2 others caught at the same time but that was the end of the 15 minute bite.
Saw 1 other spring caught at Aldridge at 2 pm at the end of the day for me. My fish was 83 ft. with herring.
