Green Peter Fishing

Osprey · 02-01-2007, 05:16 PM

Today Troutski and I met at Green Peter and tried our luck. On the way up the roads were icy and a bit treaturous but we made it unscaved. We met at 8:30 AM at Thistle Creek boat ramp. The water was 39 degrees but the air temp was below that. We trolled from the ramp to the back end of the lake, with not even a strike. We cast a few lures without a bite and proceeded back the other way. We tried one of the fingers without a bite. So we proceeded accross the lake and trolled from the south end of the island toward the boat ramp. As the day progressed the water temp rose to 43 degrees. We were about to turn into the finger the boat ramp is located on and my pole began to twitch. I was so shocked I almost forgot what to do. HaHa. I reeled it in and it was a nice Chinook. We then turned the corner and headed toward the ramp. We were just about to reel in and call it a day and boom, Chuck had one on. He reeled it in and it too was a nice Chinook. We had a good time and finally got the skunk of the boat and both of us. Here's some pic's I took...Click on the pix to enlarge.

Good job, guys!

Well I am just happy not to be posting on the Skunk forum....we put the boat in the water by 9:am and were fishing by 9:15, I started longlining a Gold Jakes(of course) and Ron started with a wedding and his special corn and a chunk of worn.......we switched back an forth until we reached the confluence of the N.Santiam and I used the down rigger from 30' to 90' neither one of us got so much as a hit. I bet Ron used every lure he had, still nothing. We finely started trolling in his favorite slot and a secret lure, it wasn't long and I noticed something weired about his rod.....I couldn't quite put my finger on it - then it hit me "Ron you have a fish on".....we just didn't expect it. A very nice Chinook Salmon, probably about 16 - 17 inches, but in my net every thing looks huge. Another 15 min. or so and my rod bends in half....I am thinking I snagged the bottom, then the lines starts to rip off......oh ya, another Chinook of course mine was much bigger, well maybe not but what the heck I telling the story. So the day ends with two strikes and two fish in the net. Water temp was 38 degrees at the beginning of the day and 44 degrees by 3:00pm., the water clarity wasn't bad unitl we got to the back of the lake. That creamy jade color, that lake never seems to be that big until you fish all day and cover about 1/4 of it. All in all a great day of fun and stories, the wind had a pretty good nip to it. Just a hint of wind in the late afternoon. Here are a couple of pictures along with Ron's fish, he has to post my fish picture, my arm wasn't long enough to take my own. Feb 1st. and no rain and no skunk, that is a wonderful start to a spectacular month of fishing.

Troutski · 02-01-2007, 05:38 PM

I bet the bigger fish was mine.....

oh wait they are the same size, I guess we should have used the other side of the ruler......some times metric is better..

Funny how when they are out of the water for a period of time they shrink

Nice job guys..Looks like it was a cold but fun day...

Osprey · 02-01-2007, 06:06 PM

Cold was right. It didn't help that I slipped when I pushed us off and got my feet wet. But Oh Well...stuff happens, and we had a good time. Oh by the way Mokai, Chuck told me all about you!

Nothing Bad, I promise!
