fishshack

Got out for a few hours (730am-noonish) this am. Got the salmon setup going in 110 and fished out to 300 and back. Didn’t mark many fish. Saw some nice bait in shallower. Only hit on day was decent king off a spoon down 100. Stopped quick on way in and tried to find the browns in 65-85 fow. Tried for maybe 45 mins w nothing. lots of bait in that 65-85 fow Lots and lots of junk floating. We had plastic, wet cardboard get wrapped on rigger lines. Also saw quite a few branches, sticks etc floating around. The fishing wasn’t the best but you couldn’t draw up better weather or flatter seas.

Had our shakedown cruise today. Found lots of browns in 10-20 fow. Ran bright colored smithwicks off the boards and spoons off chinook divers. Had a king hit a spoon on a chinook diver that was out 10 feet. Great first day on the big pond.

Any chance you hit it where you should have and just didn’t have blood? A few years ago I shot one w a powerbelt with some fresh powdery snow on ground. The deer ran off out of sight. When I got to where the deer was no blood….nothing!! Thought no way I missed. Followed the tracks about 100 yards with not even a speck of blood. Walked up to a dead deer. Only blood the only time was a couple pin drops right next to deer. I was shocked at the lack of blood. I’ve had almost the same situation a couple of times when I used my sons 6.5 on a few hunts. If there’s a lot of deer tracks maybe the dog was on the wrong track?

Wow!!!! Beautiful buck. Congrats

Good luck guys!!! I’m jealous lol. Kill a bruiser!!!

Good luck guys!! I passed a few does up last night w the muzzleloader. They’ve been hitting the food a little earlier since we got some cold and snow. In a different stand tonight hoping they come off a brushy hill into a green field. Took the bow out tonight for a change of pace.

Good luck fellas!! Here Bucky Bucky!!!

Our cams have been pretty quiet as well the past week. We planted a turnip patch for the first time this year hoping for some late season action. It came in surprisingly well. It’s been largely ignored until the past 2-3 nights. I was getting a little disappointed. Hoping the boyfriends start to show up soon.

That’s my dream. Good luck!!! It’ll be an awesome hunt!!!

Did the traditional Thanksgiving am deer hunt with my son today. I bought a new savage 220 this fall and it’s been great at the range. I was hoping to christen it today. We’ve been passing the does so far hoping a good buck wouldn’t be too far behind. We went into woods today saying “let’s shoot some does if we get the chance and put some meat in the freezer.” They were moving early I filled my doe tags. Now the pressure is off and I can look for a good rack for the rest of the season.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! Good luck if you’re in the woods today. Hoping to fill a doe tag this am

Awesome deer guys!!!!
