A bunch of us endured the hurricane-force wind this morning from 6:30am to 9:30am. When the rain came down heavily right before I left, I thought that I would be the only nutcase there today. That was hardly the case, I was in fact the last one to arrive at the usual spot.

Lucky and Obi Wan were already fishing. Vince, Raf and Fish Assassin soon followed. Even Daniel from DNE came down for a peek.
The bites were kind of on right from the beginning. Lucky reported his two hook-ups prior to my arrival but he was unlucky again by not landing any. I hooked up not long after I started and landed the brightest female pink salmon so far of my season. Obi Wan also landed a nice female. My dad, who had just arrived from Taiwan last night, was eager to get out this morning. He hooked up a large male fairly far from shore. The fish was netted after a good fight.
After a few hook-ups among us, the bites seemed to have died off. Daniel's phone rang while he and I were having a chat. His friend reported lots of action just several hundred meters further downstream. He decided to head down there, just in case if the fish were circling. I was hopefully that they would make their way up to us soon after.
Another 30 minutes went by and just when my dad was thinking about quitting, Lucky was into a fish but it was lost before making its way into my net. My dad hooked one a few minutes later and landed a beautiful doe.

At the same time, Vince also found a fish on his line. A school of fish was obviously moving through. While putting my dad's fish away, he hooked into another fish, which was lost. A few minutes later, he lost another one. I finished the day by hooking two more fish and long line released them as well. We decided to finish the outing while it was good at 9:45am.
There are plenty of fish around, but it may just take some time to entice them.
