Bailed from work at 1200 on 08-03. On the river at 1330. Finshed 2nd sock at 1730. Sox to springs were about 3-1. Good spots on the bar and bad. About 80 out at max time. Nice to watch the buzzards sailing, and the osprey that continued to hang just above us while we fished. It hung in the air on the swift currents. I wish I had had my good camera, but it doesn't go out fishing with me (some little issue about "water")
Slept in the truck overnight (no point in wasting gas going home). Found out that people stay in the area until 2300
Then peace and quite for sleeping until the first car pulls into the lot at 0230!!!
Then a few more at 0330.
08-04: 0430, my alarm goes off, and I slip on the trunks, wool socks, and wading boots, and head out to the bar. You've got to get your package wet if you don't want to get swept away in the fast water
Saw a few people take short swims last night.
I set up where I want to be, and by 0600, I'm into a fish. Pop at the beach. Damn. Next two come in and in the cooler by 0930. A bit slower than 08-03 for most on the bar. Definitely less springs.
Back home, shower, and off to work in time for the afternoon.
4 fish with one "work day" off, and only ONE $40 round trip gas cost.
