My Vacation, so far!
My Vacation, so far!
Started my month long vacation last sunday aboard the Reelax in the sea. Since then, I have been out every day out of Converse. The bite is still on the slow side, with no temperature break in the water column. Was fishing near Instigator the other day, and his probe read 55 on the surface, and the same at 70 fow. Covered alot of water over the course of the week, found lots of bait and fish, but not too much action, and very few salmon over 15". The only pattern I have noticed is that copper has outfished chrome, even on the sunny days. Fish have come anywhere from 60 ft up to the surface. We did wander in to an active pod of salmon yesterday afternoon off Thompson, we picked up 7 in a couple of hours, but again, few keepers. Overall, yesterday was definitely our best day, with about 10 lakers, 9 salmon, and a couple of ciscos. Took the day off today, but will be back out after them tomorrow!

Randy - enjoy the time on the water and thanks for keeping us informed. Next weekend will be the first time I've fished since beginning of August. Needless to say I'm jealous of your month off!

A one month fishing vacation? You must work for IBM! I remember those days with 5 weeks of vacation.
Thanks for the reports Randy! Good luck this week and the shoot-out.

Randy,
The spot that you are referring to yields big fish after 335 pm and you must have peanut butter and salteen crackers on board.
