    Northport nailers spoons have a unique bend to the blank that allows them to dig into the water and do not require split shot to sink. The 3.25” orange ice glow gold blank is the best lure for spring browns in my box.

    Yep. I have put three riggers down with verts twirling and spin docs and flies 10’ back along the bottom for stagers and have good results. The idea is you put so much eye candy spinning down there you trigger the fish’s instinct to kill fleeing quarry when they are not actually feeding

    Tony, riggers can absolutely be a stealth presentation. Camo green downrigger balls, no-hum braid downrigger cable and long leads will get those riggers productive. They also are essential at setting fish up in your spread to hit divers bringing up the rear. Riggers are my first rods in the water!

    They use downriggers around oil rigs but you need a big boat to get out there

    Gary, just PM me when you are going fishing and I will tell you what I know on fish location. We will send you off in style. One of the biggest form of fishing in Texas is motoring to any little dip in the sand nearshore, anchor your boat and get out in waders during cold months/bathing suit when nice and cast for seatrout and redfish. Offshore there is a red snapper fishery and pelagics far out in gulf near oil rigs

    Hey Dr Weidel, any idea what is going on with the government sites? They are not putting out olcott buoy data and a few other sites are down.

    I used run my own version of a segmented piece of rigged smaller vertical blades above the downrigger ball when targeting steelhead or smaller sized salmon when my daughters were younger.

    The fish look great this year. Make sure anyone going out checks the buoy data. Looks like she started blowing hard out of the NE overnight. https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=olcn6

    Sooooooo....I am out for tomorrow. Bummer! My moor sub troll was having intermittent power to the head so I purchased a new power cord. I figured just splice in new one and good to go but when I tried to plug in the cord to the back of the unit the female end would not fit over the male piece. WTF. I was able to match a drill bit sized to the old terminus and reamed out the new female fitting (add joke here). The fit was tight and the black dot was showing on the display. Success! Now just need to do my bilge pump check. Auto bilges good! Manual bilge .....no sound. Check the inline fuse and it’s blown. Replace the fuse and retry. No sound, blown fuse. Houston we have a problem. I checked the pump and noticed the housing was cracked and bulging. I must not have gotten all the water out of the lines and she froze. It never ends.

    Ya the water color was nice last weekend.
  23. Gill-T
    But they are king salmon Bill!
  24. Gill-T
    Water color has gone to crap. Browns are out as an option. May have to jet offshore and take a flyer on kings .....

    I won’t know the time until probably Friday afternoon. The wind has to lay down from Saturday.
