I got a fish finder for my boat and my buddy Adam was helping me install
it. In return I had to take him out fishing of course. Had some friends
telling me that Miller has been hot the past couple of days, so I
thought I would go out and try jigging it. Early in the beginning of the
season I told myself now that I have my boat I had to get a salmon on a
jig, something I've never done before and wanted to get a salmon on a
new method, and I had a good feeling today. Launched at 0630ish, and
headed up to the 80 bridge. I tried trolling up a little bit, but it
became a bit of a hassle so I gave that up pretty quick. First drop down
I see some arcs on the fish finder, sweet school is moving through. Not
even a minute into the drift my jig gets grabbed and I'm hooked up. In
only about 13ft of water the second I hooked up I saw flash in the murky
sac water, man this fish must be chrome. Little guys put up one hell of
a fight for his size, but this Jack wasn't getting away from me.

Small guy, but man was it chrome! The picture does it no justice, but there was literally a sun glare coming off of this fish.
Felt great to get the skunk off that fast. Jigged the rest of the
morning for nothing else though. I saw one other jigger hook up with a
fish the same size as mine. I talked to him real quick and he told me he
has been coming out almost every other day the past couple of weeks and
hasn't gotten skunked yet. Good to hear. Off of the water by 0930 so I
could make it to my Sac State Football game in time. If you ask me
Salmon season is in full swing man lets go out there and get em!
Till Next Time Guys
