Just got done reading the first page of tweets and wanted to say a Big THANK YOU to Yankee for providing good information that will help me catch fish the next time I go fishing...................... Such as....... Lures, combos, distance and depths That is the information that I need and want!! Thanks!

20# has been fine since July 15

Got to say it --- It sure is nice to have Atalantic in our fishery that can lead the Brown Trout division!!! Isn't it?????

NICE FISH!!! I sure do miss the details of lure and presentation.

Another vote for the X4 -- here is why Tonight I was setting lines and dropping the probe and I noticed the counter on the rigger stopped working. NOT a problem with the Fish Hawk. I put the probe on the other corner rigger and had rock solid readings all night. This is a reason why it is better than a coated cable unit. Port ability. If I loose a probe, I can just borrow one from a neighbor capt. and I am still going while my replacement is shipped. Just better.

Do you have a website, email or phone number where you can be reached?

I feel for Shawn, I have been on a boat when Tom and lets nice fish slip of the hooks. He is such a ethical guy that he likes to release them at a distance so they don't get hurt much. That said, I did happen to see a large fish -- about 45 inches and looked to be on the high side of 35 pounds swimming on its side this evening -- just off the flats in 125 fow. It looked like the lower lip was detached and the upper lip missing. I believe it would have taken one of my sliders if only its jaws were intact!!! Oh well!! I guess Tom cost both of us a grand prize today!!!! All I can say is that it sure is a good thing that Tom can cut chops and braise beef as long as he brings tasty treats he can miss all the fish he wants -- the sulking thing concerns me though. Nice Atlantic -- how many is that for the FX boat now this year?

John, Thank you for your post.

Best way to protect the A.S. is not to fish for them this time of year. Stay out of the shallows and go beat up on the Kings and Cohos (in unusual numbers this year). These fish only live 4 years and then die. The science behind releasing the fish so it can spawn is flawed(google atlantic salmon and thiamine), but one thing for sure if you put it in your box no one will ever catch it again!!!

To add to Tom: Steelhead have radial spots on the tail covering top to bottom, nose is more blunt than a salmon, back of the fish looks greenish blue in the water. Coho have a "right angle" anal fin (as Tom mentioned shape of fin) - tend to have a sliver shine to the lower portion of the caudal and NEVER have spots below the lateral on the caudal fin, back of this fish also looks greenish blue in the water (most common mistake is early spring when 3# cohos are mistaken for rainbows. I have had guys tell me they caught 11 rainbows and had to throw them all back because they were under 21" they were fishing the same area where I was catching coho after coho and hadn't caught a rainbow in 5 days!! --'cause they are still in the stream!!) Kings are easy -- caudal is spotted top and bottom, multi colored sides, usually appear black or dark in the water, anal fin is at an obtuse angle (greater than 90 - less than 180 degrees. Inset dark eyes and with the black mouth look like the punk rocker of the salmon species!! It is common for fishermen to look at the color of the mouth to determine species, however, I encourage new fishermen to look at the whole fish to identify them and the most telling attributes are ..... I believe .... the caudal and anal fins of the various species. With a little practice you will be able to identify species when the fish first surfaces - long before you can see the color of the mouth. The other reason I know how to identify them from a distance is because I fish next to Ray and see his fish hitting the net all the time, whereas due to my limited success I rarely get to identify one up close!!!

Another AT-A-BOY!! Now he's caught another that's in 2nd and still has GF Cathy's on the board at 8th!! Way to go!!

FX, Now that Tom knows where the BIG KING hotspot is everyone will be fishing 100 fow to the east of port!!! Great job! Good looking fish!! SC

Congrats on the nice fish and great report!!! Now that you figured out how to get a OMG you will have to take her fishing more often!! SC

NOW LISTED ON EBAY

Ok, Let me know.

Try Capt. Dave -- you can find his info at http://www.fishinmagician.com I think he had one for sale at the LOTSA flea market and he still has it (Fish Hawk & Probe) Call him for more info
