Well I started out leaving home at 4am. Picked up my Dad and we were off to Gill Bar to launch the boat. That is when the day started :? , while getting the boat ready for the river I was getting out and slipped on the aluminum and bailed to the rocky ground. Bashed my ankle, hand and my ribs...a little sore but after a quick inspection I realized that no one saw me fall. Saved from the embarrasment.
I decided to start at Ferry Island as it produced well for me last year when the socks were open. We arrived at the bar to see no one was there other than some campers BArfishing. I thought it was strange but it wasn't that busy last year so I figured no one had made it there yet. Here is a pic of just after arrival.
After 2 hours and about 10 drift nets I decided to find another spot. We headed down river to Jepersons and it was packed. I could have squeezed in but seeing as how it was my Dads first time fishing since we moved from Terrace in 89 I decided to find a quieter spot and hope for some luck.
Well after no luck
I decided to see what Spaghetti Bar was like. We headed back upriver and spaghetti was packed too. While running by to check out Herling I wasn't really paying enough attention to the water and just when I noticed the change in the river...BAM motor kicks up. Check out the pics of the prop and skeg!
Just goes to show you that it isn't only about knowing what to look for but looking for it all the time. If I had noticed the river change 2 seconds earlier I could have saved myself this headache. After that we decided to call it a Day.
My Dad was extremely happy to get out fishing even though our luck was horrible, I have brought him back to the Dark Side! He is already talking about when we should go next.
