A CHUMTASTIC DAY!
As I said yesterday I’m finally back after a couple of days and as I said I was on a fishing expedition and it went really really well to say the least. I went to a place known as Hoodsport on hood canal in my grand state of Washington. I spent the entire day Saturday Fishing in front of the hatchery on the canal for chum salmon. I got on the water at 8:00 in the morning and I didn’t get off the water still almost 4:30 that evening. I must say that I haven’t had that much fun fishing since sometime last year And my whole body is sore because I swear I must have caught it least 60 or so and hopes probably 100 more. To give you an idea of the fish were so thick that’s when I cast my line it couldn’t even reached the bottom and was bouncing off the backs of all the fish. I’d say there were probably 60 to 100 people or more crowded around the bank trying to catch one of the crazy fish and needless to say with that many people there were tangles and all kinds of other mass is going on the entire time so you can see why we call this type of fishing combat fishing though it’s one of my favorite types it can be a bit of a pain at times. I will post below is a description of a terms than one so those of you who don’t know or just would like to know more will get the idea and I will also close some photos five found around the net. Sadly I couldn’t get any pictures of myself with any of the fish because we didn’t bring a camera which really sucks because I wanted to get some pictures to show you all my incredible time. Well I’m going to take it easy for the next couple of days and let my shoulders relax considering there are so worn out from all those crazy salmon. Finally I can’t wait to do it all again next year and hopefully this time I’ll be able to go out and doing more than once.
