Watch for me closely…all the way to the end. Blink and you’ll miss it!
Sucker for a Kwikfish!
November 21, 2007
Here’s a little “bonus” catch from a recent salmon trip…
I’m not exactly sure what this suckerfish was thinking, but I’m guessing that his assault on my pink Kwikfish had something more to do with lust than hunger.
Hey Baby, How YOOOOU Doin’?
Wish I could say that this was an isolated incident, but I have, over the years, proved to be quite a proficient catcher of suckers on salmon and steelhead lures.
I’ve hooked more than a few while flat-lining plugs like Kwikfish and FlatFish for Chinook and several others on Wiggle Warts and Hot Shots intended for sea-run rainbows.
Perhaps the most embarrassing one occurred when, about 15 years ago, I walked up to a lineup of anglers who were all steelhead fishing — and not catching anything. They were all drifting bait, so I busted out a silver Little Cleo and immediately hooked a fish on my first cast.
Well, I guess one maybe should hold off on the trash talking — at least until you’re sure what you have on is actually a steelhead. I’m still not sure why that big orange, rubber-lipped turd with fins smacked that spoon, but he did. You can imagine the ration of grief I incurred when the assembled throng of anglers caught a glimpse of it…
It sure seemed like a good idea…

On a warm night recently, the boys and me decided that it might be cool to give topwater striper fishing on the Delta a go. After all, I’d been getting 12-20 topwater blowups per morning on my guide trips. On a nice calm evening, I reasoned, we could put the serious hurtin’ on the fish…

Earl Wilhite proudly displays a snack-sized striper he caught while fishing with me on the Delta last week. We’re still not sure if the fish thought the spoon was food or a mate…
Delta Topwater Action!
October 12, 2007
Here’s a little sample of the Delta topwater striper bite from Friday, Oct. 12.
Though I wasn’t counting, I’d say we had close to 20 blowups on poppers and Spooks today. It wasn’t red hot, but steady enough to keep things interesting!
Not such a bright idea…

So, just exactly what happens when you mix a dead whale, a 1/2 ton of dynamite and a bunch of bystanders??
They’re baaaaaaack!

I saw this sign in the parking lot at the mouth of Willow Creek, Alaska — about an hour north of Anchorage…kinda says it all, doesn’t it?
It was posted by a company that will rent you a raft so you can get away from the crowds and the cluster f*%# at the mouth. I’m with them — if I want to fish shoulder-to-shoulder with 300 of my not-so-closest friends, I’m sure as hell not going to Alaska to do it. There are plenty of places at home for combat fishing…
One strange day…
October 6, 2007
Okay, so what’s wrong with this picture??
Give up? The problem here is….this is the Yuba City (CA) Boat Ramp along the Feather River on Oct. 5. In what should be prime chinook salmon fishing time, there was only one boat trailer in the lot. Just a few years back, this place would have been wall-to-wall rigs, but with absolutely no salmon showing up this season, nobody’s fishing.
Of course, we did anyway. It was one strange trip…
