went out for some scouting today at lunch.
Water is super clear down at the harbor.
Saw tons of HUGE browns, and i mean huge --- 20 pounders basking in the sun in 6 inches of water. Crazy. You could spot them from 50 yards away due to the clarity.
Saw no signs of any coho and saw some kings still around ---- still looked pretty decent too. Damn it i want some cohos yet this year and i didnt see a one today.
Saw a few steel mingling with the browns as well.
I have never seen so many huge trout in one place, i have seen bigger pods of them but many of these fish were potential wall hangers.
saw some guys carrying out garbage bags full of what looked like more than their limits, only saw 2 guys fishing and for sure had more than 3 a piece -- had all browns in there. These guys were lining or whatever you want to call it and its really annoying especially when the hook is on the outside of the lower jaw or underside or whatever ---- this is not fishing , more like a carnival game.
I will be out this weekend trying to get one or two of these huge browns but my guess is i wont be able to get them to bite --- not sure what ill do , float spawn or throw lures or something we shall see, but i know these fish can be damn picky.
