Fished the green before work this morning. Went to the normal spot.

Action was typical. Schools were super spooked. Much more than the last few weeks. Both of the fish I managed were cookie cutter hens. Both were released unharmed without need for the net.

First was on the chartruese vixen using a odd combination of horizontal flicking I don't normally do but they were spooking so much I had to start trying a bit less vertical motion in hopes it would please .

Second was on the Bruised Hooker. Easily the best jig color combo I have tied yet for coho this year.

Highlight was that I headed to work afterwards and everyone asked me how the fishing was, joking I said pretty standard, I caught a couple, a couple of the gals were like oh oh let me see them. When I told them I released them, they were like... WHY? I explained I had plenty and didn't need more and both responded quickly, well give them to us. So as with all friends I am willing to give a fish per person, if you want more than that, you are gonna have to catch it yourself. So we will see if I can bag another two tomorrow.

Jim I have to admit I anticipate reading your next report like a housewife with her soap opera. I was wondering if you will be making the follow up video to the one you started before your recent trip. I am new to jigging and appreciate any info. dont know if I'm even doing it right. Anyway Thanks.

Just posted a report from this morning... Not such a great day... the fish are getting spooked and well just harder to entice. Yea I am going to make another video but I just don't know when. I have to fly back down to CA again tomorrow morning which is why I went out again today ... well that and I am addicted to fishing. So I get back next weds. I figure I will do a video sometime next week.
