  1. I have not seen any cormorants yet so glad they are going in now. Big wind coming should murk up water for them to hide.
  2. If you can figure out the leadcore formula for putting a spoon just off the bottom over the depth you are fishing, you are going to get bit by the larger, bottom-hugging, goby-eating browns. Sounds like you figured it out.
  3. If you hate lakers, don’t put a R&R Kodiak Wobbler Mag on.
  4. Typical drop is 4-5’ per color assuming a 2.4 mph speed and letting out 50’ of braid backing after the leadcore.
  5. I amended original post as forecast looks better than this morning. Come on warmth!!
  6. Looking ahead to future weather, it looks like the possibility exists that sub freezing temps may extend long enough that rewinterizing your I/O may need to be considered based on where you live. Weather.com hourly forecast is helpful but can change daily.
  7. A non-believer.
  8. Large thin spoons fished 10' off the ball within 10' of the bottom fished slow 2mph or less.
  9. Shoreline brown trolling you probably should be using a 1 color or 1.5 color. A three color at spring speeds will probably end up around 15' down so if you turn a little, you will dump it on the bottom. Off shore in a few weeks it is a good length for cohos and then again in June for offshore steelhead.
  10. It’s sort of like a cross between Sasquatch and a Motaur
  11. Ya but nobody else knows what a Gary D rig is so not sure what we are looking at.
  12. Nice king. Coho makes great table fare.
  13. My lucky rabbits foot?
  14. Two cohos and last picture is a steelhead. You need to learn the difference because steelhead have a size limit. If you examine the tail of both species, steelhead have spots from top to bottom. Coho have only spots on upper portion of tail and darker gums in mouth.
  15. Nice meeting you yesterday leaving the launch. Congrats on the kings. We are two weeks ahead of last year so get offshore a little, the kings are there.
  16. Not really. I have had a small piece of mono fishing line burn out bilge motor.
  17. I would not want dog hair fouling bilge pump impeller.
  18. Above and beyond the alewife catch rate at depth, I was watching the graph when on the Kaho and I agree that the bottom was fuzzy with bait from the 300-400’ depth band.
  19. With mild winter and preponderance of N winds lately, you may not need to go far offshore. This my graph shot two weekends ago
  20. Rick, can send you some photos of the Kaho’s fish finder marking. Depth on fishfinder is in meters.
  21. I use a Weldon pad release with a dog clip. When a small fish is on, the heavy dog clip is easy to see hanging straight back. The heavy clip slides down the line easier in wind
  22. Not my best material.
  23. I get confused looking at that spoon pattern also.
