I have a capable boat but sometimes I like to just sit on my rear , enjoy the scenery and plunck. My favorite spot is just below Bonniville Dam near Tanner Creek . Summer and fall nooks are my favorite. I have done pretty well at times. The usual set up , spreader with tear drop sinker and spin and glow with coon shrimp and various scents. Stout 11 foot rod with Penn 360 GTI level wind. I can get it out about 40 yards or so. Sometimes when I reel back to shore I discover that for the last hour I have not been fishing , everything is tangled. Less of a problem if I keep a short dropper . The current is heavy and there is a rocky bottom. I also give the rod a jerk just before I hit bottom. I have tried plunking without a spreader but I think the spin and glow is to close to the bottom. I got a 28 pound summer nook last year on my last cast of the day with no shrimp or scent. Using bait always invites the terror of a 10 foot sturgeon finding it. That has happened to me more then once , no fun ! When I get hung up I usually get everything back but the sinker , there must be a lot of lead out there. I have seen folks use rocks for sinkers , duck taped on . I can sometimes see the tip of the rod throbbing which tells me the lure is working. On the C.R. beaches I never lost any rigs , sand bottom. Patience is the key . It is great to take a break from the boat ramp zoo and incompetent boat owners. Any thoughts ?
