  1. I wouldn't say tearing them up, it was more like pick here and there. Got a double around 2PM that was a total train wreck. 1 on a dipsy that the netter almost popped off and took 3 swipes to get him, the other salmon gets wrapped in the rigger cable and jason has to tail in the boat. That was alot of fun! :D

    We were probably 8 for 11 with a few more releases that we are not sure of cause noone home. A number of salmon in the 20's and a few 17 lbers and 1 coho at 13 lbs.

    We had a rookie and his dad on the boat so they had lots of fun. :yes:

    We had 1 big one that smashed the rigger rod and took the tip to the water after it released. The dad jumps on the rod and syas he doesn't feel it. He reeled it in and the only thing left was the flasher. The fish pulled the whole fly and leader off the flasher. Wish we could have seen that one.... :@

    Congrats on your big one - nice fish! :inlove:

  2. excav-downrigger ball speed using a probe.

    tmac-everyone I fish with puts the FF combos anywhere from 5 feet off the ball to 30 feet, no more than that. most of time short leads work best.

    spoons are a different story. anywhere from 10 to 100 feet back.

    dipsys out anywhere from 180 to as much as 350. start with one long and one short then keep adjusting till they start firing and you'll hone in on a good depth.

    start with greens whites and blacks then play with the color combos from there.

    try glows and darks early then change to brighter colors and chromes when the sun comes up.

    pay close attention to what takes shots and what doesn't, and find similar stuff to complement the stuff firing.

    try changing up the speed and do a lot of s turns - sometimes your outside rods will fire on the turns (speed up), sometimes your inside rods will fire (slow down).

    Good Luck!
