Fishing Buddy Fishing Report

[fish]

The wife and I took advantage of the fishing buddy rates this past S/M/T(Thanks Phil !!! )more to cure a case of Cabin Fever than to catch fish.Sunday and Tuesday was literally a washout with rain and 4 turbines running and we didn't bring our boat down. Guess we could have rented one but got down late Sunday and we were leaving early Tuesday so that leaves us Monday.

Here's Monday's abbreviated report: Rented a jon and got out about noon when the COE started shutting down the turbines and ran up to the Short Ck area to jig fish. We immediately started catching fish and that continued for about an hour till they started running water. Most were on the small side but we managed several 13-15" fish The hot jig, no surprise, was the 1/50th oz Sculpin jig fished under a float about 6' deep. Tried other colors but the moss green orange head jig was definitely the one. After the water started moving we drifted with crawlers and power eggs with hot pink being the favorite. Caught several eaters that way also.

Anyway a big "Thanks" to Phil and crew for a few relaxing days.
