ccmtcanada Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) Well, I believe the last report was about Bly's first ever shore Salmon. We went out a few more times over the week and here are the results. With the piers and mouths of tribs so crowded these days, we decided to try a few different tactics. After our success on the tribs with Bly's Salmon, we tried again, and this time I hooked up with a nice Chinook....weighing in at 19 pounds and measuring 37.5 inches!! This one put up an awesome fight...took about 15 minutes to bring in. The release.... We went out one other time and got skunked....went 0 for 2 in that time. Finally, we changed venues and headed out in our canoe....looking to hook up with our first big fish in it! It didn't take long...about 20 minutes into casting and retrieving, this very well fed male smashed my lure! It hit very close to the canoe and shot straight under it. ACK!!! Had to somehow manouvre myself around to face the other direction while fighting this fish without tipping the canoe...LOL. After about 10 minutes, with Bly ready with the net, he finally came into the boat. This one wasn't as long as my other one, coming in at 34 inches, but it weighed the same....had some pretty good girth. Anyhow, that was our rest of the week summary...hope you enjoyed!

I really do try to connect with the fish...imagining the line as my communications conduit. I talk to the fish I'm trying to catch (if you dont believe me, ask bly...LOL), so I figured since I seem to understand how they are feeling, I now consider myself a fish whisperer.

ccmtcanada Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 All I want to know is...Was the salmon able to pull your canoe? It did pull us a little bit...definitely turned us as it tried to swim under the boat, but we weren't being towed around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greencoachdog Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Great report and pics Cliff!!!... but what I want to know is what's wrong with Carole? Is she sick or something? She's usually beatin' yer eyes out with the fishin'. Keep on doin' whatever you're doin' because I've got a feeling she's gonna play catch up one of these days soon and it aint gonna be pretty for ya!

MJL Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Great report Cliff. Congrats on getting them from the canoe...Salmon fishing from a canoe is something I've always wanted to try with my own. Hopefully my dad is game for trying something like that.

discophish Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Awesome job again! You are going to need a set of pontoons to stabilize that canoe if you are catching fish like that, and float bags to keep you above the water line! Congrats! I love fishing from the canoe. Very natural experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
