Fished today with this guy in the lower river from first light until 2pm. Not a bad day for him indeed! Lots of spring jacks around, but none for me.. My friend stole 5 spring jacks from me in total and kept three.
He gave me one spring to take home, so I decided not to puncture his tires after all.
My mama grilled it with a little bit of salt and my my my!, it had a lots of oil and tasted sooo good! Actually it tasted better than shinooks I'd caught from sailing boat off English Bay couple weeks ago. River caught one actually tasted much better than ocean caught ones. What gives
My cat also went crazy and ate so much. I've never seen her eat so much at one sitting.
I used last year's pink roe which had turned gooey and brown from freezer burn.
I should have used my friend's roe instead..
It was amazing to see such big fishes swimming and caught so close to the shore and such shallow water...
Water clarity and level were excellent. A few fish moving up.
It was an excellent day none the less.
