First Salmon


Golfisher

Recommended Posts

Popped the cherry this past weekend. My first salmon, and what a feeling! Threw glow-in-the-dark cleos for nearly four hours, and all that work finally produced.

I noticed pier fishing is somewhat akin to carping--both require a lot of patience and both species put up a great fight--but also very different--one involves sitting around chatting with friends until the alarm goes off, the other, well, you have to chuck that spoon time after time until the arm is about to fall off. :w00t:

 

The pier was quite crowded; pretty much anywhere castable had a guy throwing spoons, but it got thinned out around 2 and that's when the fish began to bite.

 

I hate living in TO, but fish like this makes it a bit more tolerable. :lol:

Oh Yeah, for sure. The sudden burst of speed and power from salmon is absolutely incredible. You do need a good drag on your reel to manage the sudden pulls towards Niagara.

 

Good work :clapping: .
