Howard Report

Combat Chuck · 07-22-2008, 06:40 PM

On my southern oregon tour I got out on Howard for some trout. I was pleasantly surprised to limit out along with 2 other people in under 2 hours on Sunday morning. A great bite for late july. I had so much fun I stuck around and went back out monday morning with another 2 people and we gave a repeat performance!

He had a gas generator and a power cord with the plug cut off..... I know he did....

haha... we were using the evil ol' power bait. Typically we would troll lures but the stinkin 4"-8" bass just attack those every 30 seconds at this time of the year. I sure would like to catch 3 steelies though!!!! I think my biggest fish was 14"

Launched just before daylight on Sunday morning. Weather was cloudy and cold. Fired up the heater and tossed in the trolling stuff. We went about 150 yards out of Klum landing towards the west end of the island, Steve hooked into a nice 13 incher and we worked that area around the bouy between Klum and the island.
We both caught and released a bunch making out limit as we went, keeping the really nice ones. We put the boat on the trailer at about 10:30 and visited with "Uncle Doug" of 'Fishing Oregon Lakes' for about 45 minutes, while he was waiting for his brother to arrive. WE were back at the house by12:30 and I had plenty of time to get to my grandson's football game at 3:00.
Thank you Lord for great fall fishing and football!

Way to go doublestrike! Thanks for the report. Any chance you have some pictures you could show us? Just thought I would ask before Troutski did.
