Unless I have time off from work, I am still a weekend warrior. I had promised my Dad that I would take him fishing. He doesn't get out fishing much anymore and didn't even have a current license. But we planned for today and he was ready, with a new online license, when I picked him up at 4:45 this morning.
We tried a repeat of Jordanelle, as last week's trip with my son and DIL was so good. Well, the fish were not in the same place, and we never did find a consistent bite. Lots of searching, but finally did find a few to give us some tugs. He caught the 2 biggest fish, a 20" koke and a 21" rainbow. We did throw a fair number of rainbows back, but brought home 6 kokes and 2 rainbows. I caught an 18" koke as well.
The power squadron was bad and they started early. 1st one was just before 730. It was really rocking by late morning and some of those boats are just inconsiderate as (you know what). But we persevered, rocking and rolling until putting the last koke in the boat at 12:45. They were deeper today, and snubbed pink (except the rainbows), getting all of ours on green and yellow. I did have a BIG fish on for a bit that took drag several times before coming loose. Never did see it. It was quite a disappointment when it came off.
It was still fun and my Dad had a good time, which is all that matters.
