Miner Slough/Arrowhead 8/19

I fished Miner Slough today in the Hobie.  I launched at Arrowhead Marina at 7 AM in a brisk wind and fished around the boat docks for zip.  I moved into Miner and started fishing the rip rap with swimbaits but the fish were small and would do a lot of “grabbing” but were too small to take the hook.  I changed to smaller spinner baits and started landing these monsters.   All of the 8 fish I landed were 10-12 inches and released.  I had enough of the wind by 11:30 and hauled out.  Some photos to go with the story…

Those fish are small but great fighters.  Thanks for the report and pictures kokoloco.

What do they charge to launch from Arrowhead?

Glad you had some fun Sam.  Sorry I coulden't make it.  Next time!

Great report. I fish steamboat slough a lot and have wondered how the fishing was in miner. I have found that most Dartmouth fishing in the north delta is a numbers game. For about every 20 of those small fish you hook up with a 16-18 inches. Even the small guys do fight hard though.

What do they charge to launch from Arrowhead?

$10.  The ramp is ok for yaks but a POS for larger craft.  I hear they are replacing the ramp and hopefully dredging out the skinny areas.

Thanks for the information.
