Pier Salmon Fishing anyone?

[MikeyMikey]

What do you people think of fishing during totally brown muddy water?

Even after a rain like we just had,,, port credit is totally brown and checking out few hours ago made it totally unsafe to fish from the rocks due to the waves.

Bronte is actually better during muddy condition because of it's narrow(er) gap from the pier and I notice the muddy waters flow more straight out. So fishing from long pier isn't too bad.


Has anyone purchased any quality long handle, big loop net yet? I still use my crappy crap net. which is do'able for calm condition @ credit but for Bronte, i need to get on my belly

If anyone is commited to fish the morning, leave a reply here for others to know before you goto bed.

Or have you already gone to bed?

Regardless of the weather condition, if there is some around, only those out there gets a chance!

OH geez,,,

Thanks for the no show guys,

Anyways, credit wave to hitting the rocks too hard for any safe landing anyways.

Stopped by bronte to just if any and water is actually a lot calmer on actual piers compare to waves hitting rocks.
Water isn't as brown as it was but still no action other than seeing one guy losing one right away bottom fishing.

So there you go... instead of trying to time the fish (not like we can), just putting man hours maybe rewarding.


Enjoy.

Eitherway... really need a longer handle net for easy landing on piers.

 

1) If there's been strong offshore winds (North for Bronte & Credit) and the lake is cold (under 60), a brown harbour can be gangbusters. The warm brown river water will stratify and give cover to salmon in cold clear water underneath. If it's all warm bath water the fishing will generally blow off the piers when it's flowing chocolate.

2) Stop by a pool shop, they'll have some old or broken skimmer handles that you can pick up cheap. Not hard to bolt your net hoop on them.

2) making my own long handle is no problem, i just want it to be able to fit into a trunk of a small car.

1) north wind helps cast far out too
How thick would these brown water be when near mouth of a river? or does it depend on too many things? or do I have to do my best not to get snagged on bottom?

I went to bronte today and yesterday, saw alot of salmon jumping around but caught nothing and didn't get any hits. I went at 3pm both days and stayed until 8:30pm. Am i fishing at the wrong time? or is the run just over? I was thinking of trying port credit also, any advice guys?
