Fishing Report 1/14/09

My Dad and I fished from Fall Creek to Short Creek with the wind pushing us down stream with no current running. We did hear the horn from the dam but did not see any rise in water ever.

My Dad used bubble gum power bait and caught the most and biggest fish of the day. I used 1/4 ounce white jig with a very aggressive retrieve with good results. After casting and letting the bait sink to the bottom I would pop the jig two to three times off the bottom and let it sink back. Most bites came on the drop back to the bottom. I also hook one fish on a #5 countdown rainbow trout.

We caught between 12 and 15 fish from 9:15 to 1:30. The 8 fish we kept weighed in at 8.5 lbs.

Thanks again to Lisa at Lilley's for taking our pic. and to Curtis for every thing he does making sure our boat was ready for the day. By the way the G3 boat we took was great. Very roomy and lost of storage for our stuff to keep the deck clear for us to fish. That boat is now my favorite boat.

Wow...8.5lbs...no kidding? Though, those three on the right look like nice ones.

Looking at the Boswell thread that would've put you in 2nd...though the guy in first had two big kicker fish.

Last Friday morning...at first light...we caught a few nice rainbows on a #7 Rainbow colored countdown. Care to say how you were fishing the countdown?

One good kicker fish would have been nice in a tourney. We only fished for about 4 hours. If we fished longer and could have culled fish we may have been able to bring in close to 10lbs. In a tourney we could not use Power Bait so the results may have been alot different.

As for how I fished the countdown, a stop start method worked best. The bites came when I would stop the bait. What a great time! I have caught several fish on the brown trout color before. I can't believe how cannibalistic they are.

On a different subject, how are the poeple that have boat docks on gravel bars going to get them back in the water? One guy has two boats in the dock as well. Those people have a big undertaking to get those docks back in the water.
