John I;m sure you will have a blast out there.. While there were tons of boats at times , others we were completely alone (and caught fish)..
We are rookies by all means but in only my bro-in-laws 3 time out the he caught fish (while I was along , hee hee)
A cool sight for the trip was seeing a fish on the surface on the finder then seeing a king rise .. Pretty neat in 100fow.. Often times I felt like we were going in circles.. Id look at the gps and sure enough we were doing large circles lol..
Some mishaps along the way : I lost both stacker clips for the riggers.. I have yet to catch anything on a stacker though...
The bummer was sitting in the estuary,, totally bummed out bottom fishing...
So today I seen just a few more salmon in estuary, nothing to get excited about but maybe 6-8 boils compared to 2 all day yesterday..
Everyone had fun, everyone caught a fish.. Goal accomplished..
I have to think a push should happen with a good surge of water but I'm quite content now to wait until sept 28 :)
Good luck to all that head out to chase their dreams :)


Her first ever Salmon.. It was fun !!

 
Ps:
I threw mine back to swim upriver :)
 

Yeah john, have a blast brother!!! Tuna nice fish buddy... sounds like a good trip. I have heard about low survival rate on catch and release in the lake though. Heck by the 28th we may have some decent chrome around at the rate things are going.

Clint, I wish they would've given us 335 a week ago for a day instead of an extra day this week. Water under the bridge at this point


Took a ride down to ball park this late afternoon. Quite a few guys with no fish. Blatant short casts with a hard rip was common. Don't understand it. Folks shoulg just set up in a productive looking spot and fish. They will catch more that way!!!!

Nice fish.  I like to see them all chromed up.   I have  9/9 and 9/25 off.  Other than that it's weekend warrior only.   Have a few days around Columbus day,  but a trip may be in the works up on Chaumont bay or back to Sacandaga.

I had 20 on the trolling rods and 17 on the spinning..
I think my bro had old line (20)  on as he broke off 2 fish/ flasher and all gone..

Hmmm.... mostly westerly winds lately coupled with hot weather?????????

Guys, didn't get a chance to fish today but I did get the opportunity to ride by the ball park. No fish seen or hooked but quite a bit of yankin...lol

I'm sure some good numbers came in and some people probably did very well...(time and place ;)

Nothing worth riding up on a death run. Its all in what's worth it to you as the individual. I'm sure if I fished dsr this morning or even in the daytime I would've done well... staircase, lower black and town before it warmed ...sure probably would've seen fish... its time and place folks. Most would stand a better chance hooking fish if they just made the choice to come up for the sake of it and try their best to make the best of it. That's this dirt farmers humble opinion....
