Coho in the AuGres!
Posted by Greybeard on Oct 31st, 2008 in Fishing | 1 comment
Yesterday afternoon on my third cast, using a Johnson Silver minnow, painted in Firetiger colors, I got a dandy hit on my lightweight 7ft rod. After about a 3 minute fight, I pulled in a 27 inch Coho Salmon, in excellent health. He was hooked good through the corner of the mouth, with the other two barbs hooking his inside upper and lower jaw.
The picture of him in the net didn’t turn out, but here he is after I dropped him back in, he was a bit dazed, but after swimming aimlessly for a moment in the shallows, he sprinted for deep water. The neighbors are targeting Perch today, so we’ll see how that goes. I just might try tossing a few more spoons.
