Had a real nice trip with rich and a friend bob that had never salmon fished before. first fish on a rigger bob rights it for 15 minutes and it gets off 40ft from the boat. i told to get more agressive with the fish. second fish was on a wire dipsey out 289. I grab the rod and landed the fish. Third fish was on my middle rigger rod. It is a ml 7foot ugly stick. it is hard to control the fish on that rod and bob was in for a couple of over this rod and under that rod etc. he landed a nice 27lb salmon. not bad for your first salmon! rich got the next fish on a rigger. bob took the next 6 fish and landed half of them. everything was on a flasher and fly, mostly pro trolls. 27lber was on a silver j plug with lip stick. fished 135 - 150fow down 80 - 100. headed back up wednesday. hopefully i can find some passengers for thursday, friday.
