I’ve seen those Kokanee rods, pretty pricey but the type of rod I’m looking for. Those Eagle Claws look spot on and the right price for buying a pair for the riggers. Awesome suggestion guys, thanks for posting.

SOUNDS LIKE THE PERFECT FATHER-DAUGHTER DAY TO ME. WE ARE GOING THROUGH THE TRANSITION PERIOD RIGHT NOW FROM SPRING TO SUMMER. THINGS WILL GET BETTER IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OR SO. SPEND TIME WITH THE YOUNG ANGLERS. TIGHT LINES.

Nice going John! Great report!

Thanks for the post. 👍

Tough day today this morning. At least I had company this weekend (last week I was solo). I slowly put six lines in (probably all in by 6:30 [hard to get teenage girls up "early enough"]. We did not mark fish and just looked for temp and currents (direction really did not matter out there today (weird). We ended up going four for four. Had to clean lined from the seaweed floating around until we got out past 270' (we started in 95'). We looked around in the 150 to 200 range, changes lures, made a few turns here and there and decided to go more NE than NW. I got a 7.5 pound salmon on a white crush glow flasher pulling a green glow fly(?). Fifteen minutes later, my daughter reeled in a nice 15.5 pound salmon on the same setup. About 30 minutes later, the rigger started bouncing and finally released as I was sending out the five core. We got about a 3.5 pound salmon on a all white glow Moonshine Mag (release him in the water). After 6 hours of washing lures and trying to find fish, we started picking up. I released the inline planer with the 5 core (pulling a green glow with orange dots Stingray) and it was heavy; who knows how long that (guessing) 6.5-7 pounder was swimming with us. Lively as ever when he got to the boat. We had to bring him in the boat to get the two hooks out but he was full of spunk and we revived him and he took off. We had lines in for 6 and a half hours (that's why I stated it was a "tough" day. The boat ran well, the fog was thick, I spent time with my daughter, and fish were caught. Fishing (or catching) is definitely better than sitting at home...

Got out for an hour today, had one decent fish on for a minute. Temperature 57,lots of bait and numerous marks. If the weather holds it could be really good derby.

I bought the 8' blue kokenee rods. I'm sure I spelled that wrong, lol. They are very light bot help keep landlocked s pinned at the net. You should see what an 8lb laker does to them!! I found them on Amazon, only place I could find them.

I bought a pair of these at Kittery couple years ago. They were under $30 each. They are nice and great for trolling small spoons on the riggers. If you want to go higher end lamiglass and tica makes nice rigger rods.

I guess the answer to the question I have is , what was the avg size of a returning 3 year old king salmon say the last few years ?

I want the 2 - 6" pedastal Cannon Bases if they are $40.00 for the pair. Please PM me your address so i can get a check out to you.

Ok great. Please PM me your address and i will get a check in the mail to you. Keep the holders until the check clears if you want them send them. Thanks, Tony

What length and action on the Ticas? I’ve looked at their surf rods but never the inshore rods

What did the gar hit?

For a light rigger rod try a Tica. They aren't as versatile as an old ugly stick but fun on landlocks.

Okuma white diamond in medium. i use these as rigger rods for anything from walleye to kings. They have a lot of action. You can damn near bend them in a u-shape to load them up and have enough back bone for kings.

I have a couple older Mag 10s 3 complete and 1 for parts. I’d take just about any offer for the lot. They’re a little pricey to ship so would prefer you just stop and pick them up. Seneca lake near Lodi

Great. Thanks for replying to my PM as well. I replied.

yes, available

sold

I'm interested in what you mean by "publicized to the public". There's no way that the group can put up flyers all over town or advertise in the D&C. Their target audience is small. They have an email list that you can get on to receive notifications. They use Facebook (which I despise) and LOU (which I love). This seems right to me. Folks with interest can easily get dates and times to put on their calendar. I guess I don't understand what you're asking them to do. If you have ideas, it'd be great to post specifics. And I bet that the organizers would be pleased to consider them. IMHO, solutions are always appreciated. Meliora!
