Lower Mainland, August 4th 2010: Local beach
« on: August 04, 2010, 03:04:34 PM »
Deceided to hit a local beach at first light in hope of a Coho on the fly
but there was no sign of anything so i moved to another beach but this time using spinner gear
there was only one other fisherman (local guy) there and he said it was dead with no fish showing
as i was chating to him I see a fish jump right behind him
so i cast in that general direction and on my second cast and before i could get a full wind on the reel
bang! fish on :o
it exploded out of the water so i new it was a good size :D (not the one i saw jump as it was a smaller fish)
then it started taking line and i had to tighten the drag, after a short fight it was on the beach
A nice chrome Coho
I weighed it at home, 10lbs gutted :)
what a great morning I was home by 7.30am

they are out there you just have to track um down

Did you put your waders back on when you got home so you could pose with the fish on the balcony? ;D ;D ;D

Nice fish for sure, gotta love it when they grab the lure when it is still sinking. I find those takes are the most exciting because they are so unexpected.

Wow.  ;D That's a beauty! Doesn't look like one of those Capilano Runt-fish. Good on you!
