  1. One way we estimated amount of line out was to measure how much line was out after one full rap (side to side on spool). Worked okay. Obviously the more line that is let out, the less line is out, but still an okay estimate

  2. Having only one year under my belt, I have a lot of learning to do about set ups and spreads. I do know that while listening to the marine band radio this past year, I was always hearing boats talking about hitting them on 300 copper. Sometimes charters were saying it was the only rig taking hits, which is why I thought it belonged in the default set up. Now that I have a temp probe, I should be able to tell if 300 copper will get me to the desired depth. Thanks guys!!

    I was wondering about this too. Last summer was my first trolling for salmon and not too cought up on everything yet so what exactly does 'hitting them on 300 copper' mean?

  3. Just bought about 30 spoons, all with single hooks. the previous owner stated that he only uses single hooks, but I ever asked why. I noticed all the lures I purchase new all come with treble hooks. Are treble hooks preferred over single? Is there any difference when fishing with them? (Sorry, shoulda posted this in tackle section. My bad)

    ==================

    (your welcome message to LOU - anything else you want to say to the community goes here).

    Hey guys!! Been out only 4 times, no kings, but still havin fun. Every time I get back, I'm on here seeing what I can change to catch a few more next time. Keep up the wealth of info gentlemen!!

  5. Fairly new to the sport, spent a LOT of time on here and so far, has been paying of to an extent, each time out catching a few more fish than before, but still nothing to brag about and no kings :( . I've read a lot here about different rigger weights and shapes which relates to my first set of questions:

    Is the fish shape the same as the shark shape? Which tracks better? and which is better for depths 100' or less? (Assuming they are different shapes and performance to this depth.)

    Rather than just using spoons, I just added a few flies to my small, somewhat productive arsenal of lures, but confused on the flasher/dodger ordeal.

    Do each of these act the same? Which is better to use with a fly? and does it necessarily have to match the color of the fly?

    Last bit of info I would like to know is distance behind the ball and stacker to go with a spoon and with a flasher/fly? I've heard anything from 8' up to 30'. I know if something doesn't work, try something else, but there has to be some sort of general consensus on a narrower range of distance.

    Does the distance behind the clip effect th way a lure presents itself? Especially with a flasher?

    Figured I would get the basics out of the way before I start worrying about anything else. Thanks for all the help gentlemen!!
