It was the Nick, Brittany, and Ken show this past week.
The catching wasn’t hot and heavy for us. It was just good enough.
It had to be fish Karma.
Three years ago Nick gave me a custom color Brad’s K15 fishing lure. Since it was custom, I’ve kept it stored in my tackle box and haven’t used it since he was last here.
I broke it out and boy did it produce.
Nearly every salmon Nick caught was on that lure.
You know, if I could do it all over again I would have used that lure even more.
This is Brittany’s first silver on the first day.
And, this was the morning catch on Day 1. However, we weren’t done for the day.
After a three hour break, we went back out to fish the incoming tide. Not as much action as I was hoping for. Ken caught a bright red salmon that we kept and Nick caught another silver salmon. The final tally was six salmon on Day 1.
On Day 2, Brittany had the hot seat (it should be noted that Nick gave it up). Here’s the first fish of the morning.
After a little bit of lull, Brittany caught 2 more within minutes of each other. Limit!
Ken “The Electric Banana” got on board and caught the next three silvers. Another limit!
Unfortunately, Nick did not get a bite on Day 2. Still, the end results were pretty good.
On Day 3 the bite was slowest of the three days. We worked all day to get three fish. Nick had the hot seat and lure and caught all of them. Limit!
Thanks Nick, Brittany, and Ken for coming back to fish. I look forward to the next time we do it.
I’ll end on this. I usually have a pretty good feel for what to expect when predicting the fishing “for the week ahead”. Not this time. I’m not sure if it was weather, tides, seals, belugas, or the run peaked as the reasons why the fishing was a bit slow.
Come back next week to see what this grand river that owes us nothing has given us.
