My fishing buddies James and Tyler had some business to do in Brewster on Tuesday and asked me if I would like to join them for some fishing. You can probably guess what my answer was. I met the two of them in Coulee Dam and they jumped in with me to try our luck from the shore at the middle net pens. We spread out and started casting on the beach just below the pens. Tyler had never fished Rufus Woods, had never caught a triploid and he got the first one. The action was sporadic at best, and we kept creeping further up the beach to see if our luck would improve. You have to understand that James had been with me on one of the hottest days we’ve ever had on Rufus, when we figured we hooked close to 80 fish. We landed our first fish at nine and we had our six fish limit by 10:30, so it wasn’t that bad of a bite. The fish averaged about 2 pounds or so each and although I did cast a jig for a while, Power Bait was what the fish liked the best. My fish are going into the smoker—Yum!
