How come Sol and Parker won't admit they fished the Skok???

I expected to see some chorme shining on the board, but they are being purdy tight lipped.

It closes Friday, ya up for one more trip???

What kind of disguise did they wear?

Cats out of the bag now boyz.
I s'pect it's because the Skok is regarded as a bottom of the barrel fishery filled with Slack-jawed Snaggin local yokuls yarding in fish backwards... Not nearly as "postable" as a premier fishery on the OP or in BC...

am I getting warm?

Come on now, post up some pics of you standing shoulder to shoulder hucking eggs amongst the snaggeria.

I DID fish the Carbon for the first time ever in my life on Monday. I'll spare the other board members who were up there.

All I can say is: Wow. Some real winners up on that river. Actually, most of the people that could afford waders, and actually waded to the other side of the river and fished with us, were Ok. There was a family/group of Russians on the dyke side of the river that were complete asshats. They truly needed to have their rods taken away, smashed in half, and tossed in the river. Every single damn one of them were just complete fraktards, and fraked up the fishing for about 30 people on the other side of the river.

Honestly, the Carbon makes the Skok look like a peaceful Alaskan Wilderness Experience.

Zipperlip, man.

Zipperlip.

Sheesh.

Saturday's catch from a local zipperlip (not!) And you thought I only posted bikini pics!

(crappy cell phone pics)

I would never fish the skok....and hate anybody that does.

We'll get you out there one of these days Mr. High and Mighty.

I think Sol just grabbed what he could find on the beach and stuck it in the fishes mouth, so no one could see the secret lure.

That must be yarn in the fishes mouth, and not two barbless hookssssssssssssssss

Looks like a Fishpill to me, must of got it from fishhead5.

Sol, that looks like a 12 foot leader, and a a double hook set up. That second hook sets you apart from the rest of the group. lol

That's a typical egg side drifting rig. Leader length on those is anywhere from 4-6'. Sometimes, when the fish hits the eggs on the top hook, it will either miss, spit out, or just come lose, and the trailing hooks hits the fish.

Looks to me like he nailed himself a nice king using eggs with a side drifting rig.

The only thing that I do *not* know if that's a technically "legal" setup for the Skok. There's a non-buyoancy restriction, but not a selective gear restriction.

I believe (it's been discussed before) that these side drifting rigs are legal, or at least not frowned upon, as bait is being used.

I dunno, as I hate double hook drifting setups. Personally, I don't see the need to waste a good hook and cheater when a single hook is all you need.

Look at it this way parker, you wouldn't be wasteing a *good* hook....you'd be wasteing a vision

Zing

Double Zzzzing.

I still don't see the need to waste a bad, mediocre, *or* "good" hook. I guess I just don't feel handicapped with my fishing abilities to *need* two hooks to get the job done.

Probably explains why you monkeys are using multiple hooks.

Unless it's a RVRFSH hook. In that case, you'd better find a way to use at least 4 of them per rig. Right Todd?

Parker can't stand it........He's coming back for more tommorow.

Dan, Stam want to join in????

Good one stamley.Good luck,

It's an hour away and deisel is $5/gal. Pretty simple.

I'm no elitist. I've been out there 4 or 5 times this year. I'm a crowd avoider, though.

ur elite in my book uncle dan

well the Crowd index might be going up on your favorite river durning ho season as as the Lazy B gang goes on strike once again Bastrrds

Well, here's my final Skok report.

It wasn't packed full of ADD rod-jerkers, but there were enough to always want to come and stand next to me and Doug.

Some nice silvers starting to show and some nice, and not so nice kings.

I came home with what I wanted, so I was happy. In all, a good morning on the river!

Until next year Skok, thanks for the ovaries!

Life is about things eating things. It's just the way it is.

Life's a journey you need to take on your own.

Above all, to thine own self be true...
