Hornhoarder's bounty fishing log
« on: June 23, 2012, 07:47:06 AM »
I just returned from 10 days straight of fishing for pikeminnow, in the Tri cities. Just home for the weekend cleaning up and taking a short break. Trying to put 100% effort into it, and see if I can make some money. Sleeping on the river bank, poisen ivy, sunburn, and 18 hour days sure wear you out. I've done O.K. I think I'm at 65 fish, including one worth $500. :IBCOOL: I'll share some pictures I've taken and keep updating this when I'm at home.

I used to catch them squawfish on a flyrod now and again.  Looks like your having a good time.

Nice Job!  Are you doing this all summer?  Sounds like your pretty dedicated if your fishing 18 hours per day.  Hope the fish gods treat you well and fish on!

I'm impressed.  Got a check for something like 12 bucks for one squaw down below Bonnevile years ago using a coupon.

Good deal, I know a few guys that do it. I know one guy what was fishing with 2 other buddies and they caught over 50 in one day and 3 were tagged :yike:

Talk about a score. Glad to see you getting some fish. Some good eaters to!

Boy I wish they would have had this payment plan for sqawfish when I was in highschool in the 80's.  I could have turned in bucket loads.

Nice Job!  Are you doing this all summer?   

Yeah, at least two more months of solid fishing, This my my second summer at it, and yes it is a very difficult fishery to figure out. I've set a goal to at least break the 400 mark, and then I'll be into the $8 fish. Thanks for the support :tup:

Good job taking care of those things! They devastate our more valuable fish. Too bad we cant get a bounty in the area we fish for them! My brother and our best Friend went out today and managed 43 and lot/missed a lot more. We thin them out and supply crab bait for a few people every year.

Not sure they want their faces and location posted so it has been modified.....

That's what I did, but on days when you only catch a couple fish, and only make $12 sucks. They are worth $4 for your first 100 fish. $5 for 101- 400 fish, then worth $8 over 400 fish.

I forgot to mention that they must be 9+ inches to collect payment on.
