sharper Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 (edited) Since I have been hearing good things about the pier, my friend and I decided to give it a try. Arrived at 5:30am and there was maybe a little under a dozen people there. One of the guys caught a salmon earlier as it was on display . Fish was jumping every so often so I was pretty excited to give it a go. First time doing this so I was using my 7' rapala medium action rod and tossing spoons (not glow in the dark). Didn't have a single bite or anyone else who was there. So at 10 we decided to call it quit and decided to head upriver. We spotted a few dead salmons and one live one that we tried to entice with our lure. Still a fun trip overall going to do it again sometime soon.

SlowPoke Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Too bad you couldn't get anything but at least you got out. I'm not sure where you were up the river but keep in mind there is (or at least was) a sancutuary from the Lakeshore Bridge north somwhat. -Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseroo Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 A lot of the salmon action is just getting started at 10pm. If you can take the change in sleeping habits, try staying out later and you might have some luck. I'm no expert (having just caught my first a week ago) but there definitely seems to be some more action the later you stay out. You also have fewer folks with rods in the water the later it gets so there's a bit better chance that your spoon will be the one that gets the bite.

sharper Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Really slowpoke I wasn't aware. Well I'm sure it was ok there, as there were mulitple guys in waders and people wandering around on the trails with rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
