Title: Anyone hit underwood yet?
Post by: carpsniperg2 on July 18, 2011, 03:52:06 PM: I haven't had a chance yet. The numbers are getting hot! With 5k over Bonn yesterday. Hope to fish maybe this week and was wondering if its turned on down there yet.

Post by: carpsniperg2 on July 18, 2011, 04:44:07 PM: Yeah its cold but they will still start soon. If they hav not already. Just because the water is cold does not mean the bite will be off. Look at the springers this year, water was cold as heck but there was times your gear would hit the water and fish on!

Post by: carpsniperg2 on July 18, 2011, 05:35:30 PM: Yes for sure. But they will also duck on there to rest and get out of the current as well. I don't fish it early most of the time. I am waiting on my 2nd cutting now and have time. So I have some time. I hit it late season a a lot like 4 days a week sometimes. Did really good last year as well. I know there is fish in there just need to figure out if they are eating and if its with my time right now.

Post by: huntergreg on July 23, 2011, 03:36:31 PM: I went to Drano Friday night and fished by the bridge where it goes out into the Columbia and out of 3 of us we only had one hit. No fish caught. On sat morning we headed over to Underwood and fished out by the buoys and didn't have any hits so we went into Underwood and fished until 8pm and gave up and headed home. we saw 2 fish caught out in the mouth but both looked to be let go. Still early I think. I will head back down in a couple weeks. The wind was blowing pretty good down there also.

Yeah it has been thick with natives. We have a guided trip below boneville on sunday. Got the trip real cheap and he seems like a guy who knows his stuff. I am not one to pay for fishing trips for stuff like salmon and steelhead. But I never fish down there from a boat and want to learn some new tricks. So 4 of us are going and going to try and learn some new stuff. Hope to stick some clipped fish! I need a few more to get me threw until end of Aug when I start hammering them :IBCOOL:
