Well no keepers for me this morning. A boat next to us running live bait caught two keepers in thirty minutes around the tide change.
Anybody else get out?
Back at it Friday
Might try King Salmon Marine, I know they sell and work on Honda. I didn't see what they had in stock for used inventory when I picked up my kicker today
Alright, any seasoned halibut vets care to chip in, do you subscribe to all the fancy mumbo jumbo about lights, glow, sound that some of the YouTube channels do?
I feel like I'm getting my recipes dialed now. I've been working with a standard boule and using the steam bake and thermometer on my oven. I've been getting consistent rise even when doing multiple day cold ferment.
You know I think I've only caught one ho ho as bycatch. I've never actually used a plug to Target coho. Depending on where you're fishing, I think that coho can be dumb enough to hit just about anything, but I usually stick to the coho flies once they are down south
I have and I'm just not completely sold yet. I went through a streak of losing a lot of fish last year with the breakaway. It's also still too much drag for a. 5-year-old. Maybe now that he's six
If this is what you meant @Chucker me neither. I like the plugs a lot because I fish with my little kids and they still have a hard time reeling in the rods with a flasher. Plugs have enough action themselves that they can be fished without the flasher
I don't really focus on the speed. Just making sure that I have a 45° angle on my downrigger cable. So I'm using 15 lb balls and at minimum 150 ft on the cable.
Tomic Plug on one or both rods for me. Switch out green hornet flasher with splatter back green hootchie or Irish cream spoon or ace hi fly if I'm not running two plugs.
Though I also have tied my own flies for trolling which have worked really well.
Hey if anybody was out fishing this week or next week? My wife is doing some salmon curriculum and wanted to do a salmon fish print at school. If anybody were running into legal coho in 13 or 11 this weekend, it would be really cool to be able to come and pick one up.
Just came home early from the Rainier's. Put up 5 in the 6th to pull within 1. Had to duck early for the kids but I'm so glad baseball is back. Came back to listen to Extras for the Ms, feels like a good year.
I'll do mine in the house. In my old house I was able to get away but that underneath the range hood with the windows open. My new range hood sucks and so I'm going to have to move to the garage now
