Re: Friday report

Nice report, Salty. A couple questions for you. What size shiners did you use? How fast were you trolling?

Re: Friday report

Tom, We were using medium shiners and trolling 1.5 to 1.8 pretty much on free spool. A shiner right behind vertical blades worked real well.

Re: Friday report

Thanks Gus. Was the hook wounded fish too gruesome to post?? I e-mailed a pic of it to John Viar.

Re: Friday report

Nice job Salty & Jack.
Just saw a "private" pic of your hook wounded fish. I guess that is what they mean by "ripping the lips off of fish" Nice of Jack to take it out of the fishery and put it to good use.

hook or prop wound?

Re: wounded fish pics

I am curious. Was that salmon in relatively good condition, was he a torpedo, age?
Thanks,
Richard

Re: wounded fish pics

Didn't see a fin clipped. Thought it was a 3 yr. old. About 20". Same as the one Jack's holding.

"No bait rigs, just a single hook through the lips"

I have been fishing with Dana V. and he has developed a new bait rig that uses only one single hook. We have been testing it out and the results have been great. No need to run in free spool either. It works just like the original slider rigs except Dana came up with a method to hold the mouth of the shiner/smelt without using a hook. So this rig will be legal should the single hook for bait become a reality. I'd post the rig up but I need to check with the inventor before doing so. I'm not sure what plans he has regarding the rig.
Don't overlook crawlers either. Last week we were hooking up before we even got to lead core on them. Yes he has a rig for them too. Still in the testing stage. Our speeds have been 1.5-1.9. Painful speed if your in a dead zone, you don't cover much water.
