Mouth of the Patterson River
Hey Guys,
Im heading out to chuck some slugs this saturday morning at the mouth of the patterson river , hoping for some salmon.
There's an early high tide and will be fishing the run out.
Will keep all of you posted on what I catch.
Any tips are well appreciated.

Re: Mouth of the Patterson River
I actually prefer plastics when fishing the patto. A zman slim swimz in pearl or smoke hologram is usually what i use but most small paddle tails and minnow soft plastics will work in similar colours

Re: Mouth of the Patterson River
Was windy , cold and miserable. Decided to brave the weather and go for it .
The river was obviously running dirty coz of all the rains .
Regretted not having any bait with me.
Spun some slugs in the surf, ran a few smaller lures and slugs all through the river. No touches.
Had a take from a fish on a zman GrubZ, hooked for sometime and then dropped the fish when it swum towards me .
Saw some other guys fishing with bait as i was leaving. I reached at 530 AM , stayed till about 9 . Rained on and off . Some rainbows in the horizon made a fish-less morning special.
I will be back when the the weather is better
The river is running full and to the banks !
Also , Shoutout to the guys who were fishing the mouth of the river on Sat morning, precariously perched on the walls of the channel. Top Stuff .

Re: Mouth of the Patterson River
I've only fished the mouth for Bay trout and mullet. White 2-3inch soft plastic or a small metal slug for the salmon. Burley up and use chicken under a pencil float for the mullet. Neither of these fish has been very thick down there in the last two weeks from what I have seen.guppie12 wrote:i havent had any luck there. Any tips?
