Big skunk!
Headed out from the marina this morning had easlyamused along for the ride. It was pretty chopping as we got out into the outer bay, we made our way over to the sandbar bridge,on the way over gave a radio check to Reelax nice to say hello. Got under the bridge and it was a know go for me waves were much bigger turned around and went back under into the outer bay. We made a lope from Robinson point over to the fill and down to thayer's which took a while waves really started picking up by then. Had a few releases but know one home. May be calmer tommorow, so I think I'll give it a shot if the forecast dose'nt change to bad. So today was a big "S" not even a perch! Headed in around 12:30pm. Hopefully Reelax had some action!

That's one of the things that keeps us going back-the challenge.
Weather looks less bumpy tomorrow...good luck if you go out.
Thanks for the report.

Re: Big skunk!
Forced to fish the outer bay and came out skunked. I wish I could say that never happened to me. But it has. Especially this time of year. A very difficult place to catch Salmon the last few years. Did you mark much bait? I wonder how the state did with baitfish surveys this year? I know they were out there looking or them. Thanks for the report.

Re: Big skunk!
Rob; I did see some bait balls 60 to 80 feet in the loop from Robisons point to the fill. I was running lures this time and not small stick baits like before in front of the lamoille. I've noticed this time of year last year an this year smaller baits did well in the bay inner and outer, small speedy shiners! I think it was friday or saturday I picked up 6 salmon in front of the lamoille on the stick baits.Thorny wrote:Forced to fish the outer bay and came out skunked.
