Bobber Down 921 Report post Posted September 15, 2013 This morning at 7am (still dark) I was slip bobber drifting a Lindy 1/32 jig bug tipped with a small minnow off the first dock and caught a 12in Pink. Must have been the flash from the spinner blade that attracted it. I'm still targeting Walleye. Only got the one hit. Switched to leeches and still no Walleye bites. The duck however that seems to make the mouth his feeding ground caught 5 that I saw. They got the Pinks sideways under the water and while on the surface the fish were thrashing around a lot. Most got away. Only saw the duck swallow one. It was about 12 to 13 inches long I'm sure. Amazing to watch. An Eagle flew over very low looking for fish as well. Quite the spot.

Weekend coaster 15 Report post Posted September 15, 2013 That's strange that there were pinks in there today because I didn't see any yesterday maybe they just moved in recently Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spindilla1 42 Report post Posted September 15, 2013 I have a weird feeling with the night temps they move in and take off slightly deeper as the day progresses.If you look closely at the tiny pools before the rapids you can see fish in those pools and might even see fish moving during the daytime hours.When I was there I saw few battling the rapids to go upstream. Not 100% sure if at the base of the rapids those are suckers or pinks.I have bad eyes and I wasn't wearing my glasses. Someone might be able to confirm that.

Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted September 15, 2013 I seen quite a few yesterday. There was one I was able to pick one up if I wanted too. There will be pinks in the river until the last one dies. They hide well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Weekend coaster 15 Report post Posted September 15, 2013 Where were you fishing yesterday because I was fishing the concrete wall and the dock/pier and didn't see any Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted September 15, 2013 I was also fishing along the wall, and up further. A few scurried past me near shore. And I seen a few going up the falls. Not tons. Might have seen 10. Also seen maybe 5 surface in that big whirl pool at the base of the falls. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rob Report post Posted September 15, 2013 I also fished the concrete wall yesterday with no success. There was a guy on a fly and a ninja across from me but neither was having any luck... ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted September 15, 2013 Yup no luck. Only hooked one pink last two trips and lost it. Lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weekend coaster 15 Report post Posted September 15, 2013 I'm thinking I'm gonna go check later on this week or weekend and I'm thinking the river should lower in water and the pinks will be in thick soon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bullshark 23 Report post Posted September 16, 2013 I also fished the concrete wall yesterday with no success. There was a guy on a fly and a ninja across from me but neither was having any luck... ?HAHA ninja, was the ninja wearing a blue mask over his face? No, I didn't catch any yesterday for some reason. Killed them Friday and Thursday but I probably won't go back cause I got my females for the year. Quote There is a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot.

Bobber Down 921 Report post Posted September 30, 2013 No hits this morning and no others fishing. Water is still higher than normal. Seems like various individuals or groups have found their way to Fisherman's Park and are leaving their mark in an around the area. Total case of "spare the rod". Perhaps the city should build a 100 yard concrete wall so these vandals have a "safe" place to display their views.

Guest avis Report post Posted October 3, 2013 Caught a nice sized pike last night using an x-rap.Also caught what I believe was a coho (black tongue, silver body). It was only about 12 inches. Surprised to catch a salmon with that monster lurking around. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted October 3, 2013 That would be a pink salmon most likely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest avis Report post Posted October 3, 2013 That would be a pink salmon most likely. No hump on the back and didn't have that greenish colour. Fish species confuse me. haha. I should of snapped a pic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted October 3, 2013 Pinks don't have a hump when they first enter and only the males form large ones, and a pink can be as chrome as a brand new quarter. The green ones have already turned color, chrome pinks is where it's at. They go from chrome to green to black to dead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest FreshwaterFisherman Report post Posted October 3, 2013 Also, nice pike they seem to be fewer and farther between this year, where as most years prior to this they were one of my more caught species there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
