I got to the river close to 7:30am just as it was getting light. I choose to fish at the spot where the guy hooked 8 and I think he landed 4 or 5 on Christmas day. There were only 2 other fishermen in this area. A little bit after I started the guy who fished this spot last week came and about the third cast he tail hooked one that was released.
A friend, Gary, showed up and talked with me for a bit and then he went on to his spot. It must have been around 11am and no on had hooked anything more, so I thought I would go up by Gary and make my lunch and finish fishing there.
I saw one brought in down river and if it weren’t for Gary I wouldn’t have got to bring one home. It was a male and weighted 6-14 gutted. I was scraping the slime off of it and it still had sea lice!
It sprinkled on and off until about 1:30pm when it started to rain and I left at 2pm.
