Fisherman Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Took the chance with my cranky back and went along with my son out to GB for a morning of lure washing. Meet at 0500 at the launch, load my coffee, lunch, myself and a few pain killers and off we went. No sooner out of the harbour and the waves were a tad on the large size but dammit we're going. A slow ride out but set up by 0530, rig and set the rods. At sunrise the first rod pops, nice 11 lb'er, into the box. About 40 mins later, a 7 lb'er bit the cheater, you're coming for supper. Around 8, a zinger, line burner, ends up being a 15 lb'er, nice fight and into the box. A few minutes later another on the cheater but managed to free itself. That's all my back could handle, time to get back to hard ground. Had a great day, I'm glad he convinced me to go. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captpierre Posted August 22, 2021 Report Share Posted August 22, 2021 Healthy looking fish. 10 yrs ago the only salmon I caught on a GB outing was skinny. Big head, no gut. Seems the bait fish are back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems the bait fish are back. I have seen nothing but huge fat salmon the past 6-7 years now . Largest I have caught was last year, 26lb hen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
