Hi Ray All those trophy,s are in my Hunting Cabin . My wife prefers it that way , so I got to build the Cabin I always wanted. You are welcome to see it if you are down my way. Yes there were many misses over the years. I did write a story about them , maybe I can fit it on here some day. Lets hope we keep on trucking for a long time yet. Len

Some of these pictures go back to 1974 to 2012 Len

Fishing Report Your Name / Boat Name: Reel Deal ============== TRIP OVERVIEW ============== Date(s): 9/20 & 9/21/12 Time on Water: 9 am to 11:30 Weather/Temp: Wind Speed/Direction: Waves: 1-2' Surface Temp: Location: Mexico Bay & Salmon river LAT/LONG (GPS Cords): =============== FISHING RESULTS =============== Total Hits: 0 in Lake Total Boated: 0 Species Breakdown: Hot Lure: Trolling Speed: 1.8 to 2.5 Down Speed: Boat Depth: 10' to 30' Lure Depth: 5' to 25' ==================== SUMMARY & FURTHER DETAILS With so many fish in the river I thought they would be stacked up in front of it. Trolled for two hours did not mark a fish or catch any . Did not see any other boats get any either, so we hauled the boat out for this season and headed for the river. Now mind you I never fished the river before . This was a first for me. Well I think I am now hooked on it. I hooked into 6 fish and , what a battle, Salmon were flying everywhere. I managed to land a nice King about 12 lbs. and dropped another at my foot that was over 20 lbs. I fished for about five hours that day . I was all in by then. It was a great day of fishing . You know I will be at it again. Tight Lines Len ====================

Thanks Carl , I will try that out. I will also try using meat. Tight Lines Len

P3434, I checked out the river on wed. early evening and saw lots of fish getting caught at the bridge in town. They were breaking water all over the place. I wondered how they all got by us in the Lake . I think all those big marks I saw on my fish finder right on the bottom in the last 2 weeks , which I thought were bait ,were really Salmon with lock jaw. They just would not bite. I will try something different next time around. tight Lines Len
