Mattones Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) Yesterday I chipped in with some people to get a Charter boat here on lake O. This was my first time out of Lake O the water was pretty smooth as well. Anyway I was the 3rd person to catch a fish so here is my 8.5 pounder. and the one at the very bottom was 13 or 14 pounds I can't really remember the size as someone decided to jump off the boat and cause us to head back 2.5 hours early. he was suspose to buy us all drinks but took off as soon as we hit shore. other then that I really enjoyed Salmon fishing they put up a sweet fight. I thought this would make a nice photo and it did Edited September 1, 2008 by Mattones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattones Posted September 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 The caption said its a law for Charter boats not to allow swimming. Plus mind you all the lures in the water. When he got on deck there was almost a fight because he wsted a good 2 hours of fishing left and one guy didnt have a turn. For the 5 hours we were out there we caught i believe 8+ salmon.

If that IDIOT were on any charter that i have been out on, he would have been spat on ! Too bad he ruined your first trip out. Nice fish ya caught too.

bukee Posted September 2, 2008 Report Share Posted September 2, 2008 Those are great looking steelhead. Been out a few times on Lake O in the last week, the steelhead action has been great in 300+ FOW. The majority of those fish give a great acrobatic show. Good job.

jwl Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Oh yah?hmm wow if your charter captain didn't know and tell you guys that those where rainbows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattones Posted September 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 wow if your charter captain didn't know and tell you guys that those where rainbows I think he just let us all say they were Salmon so everyone was happy. haha. Though I do have a photo of what actually looks to be a Salmon that a friend caught as it does look like some ofthe pictures i just googled. But hey. Salmon, Chinhook or Rainbows.. I had a great time catching big fish as i have only been catching small carp all year. hehe But my goal is go catch a pike or musky before the season ends.

johnnyb Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 And nice rainbows at that -- way to go! I have to re-read the post though...missed the part about the swimmer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Those open water steelhead can be a lot of fun when they decide to play airplane. The charter captains like to move to rainbows when they can't find the salmon or they get lock jaw. I think they find the rainbows more predictable to find and catch ( I don't). Its kind of funny that the captain told you guys they were salmon. Maybe a bit distracted by the idiot Phelps wanna-be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
