I prefer beginning of August. By mid august onwards, especially if it's hot, the salmon already slow down on eating, and may not be as active.

I do strongly believe that criminals don't really care about any laws. That's why they break them, and are called criminals.

I use braid, and yes it's to fill up the spool, then put a full spool of mono, then tie your lead.

I agree with this.

Yeah I've never seen that ... could it be eggs that are still developing? Maybe they are small and still developing?

Are you referring to the black stuff all over it?

I love my Raven 14.5', 3 piece. Awesome rod!

Stacked kings, ready for a run up the river is what it looks like. They don't eat this time of year, you need to tick them off. Use irratic bait such as plugs, with bright colors. Speed 2.5 mph.

I agree with this ... so far we've seen a nice initial run, and then most of those fish cooked when the weather got to 30'C on the weekend. I'd imagine with all this rain we are getting now, the remainder of salmon are running, and that will be good, except it's meant to go to 25'C this weekend again ... so for the stragglers, that won't be good. By the way, did they state WHY they want to cut stocks? Are they worried about the alewive population?

Take the equipment off and sell it separately. You'll make more money. Don't package the equipment up in the boat sale, you'll lose.

Star brite with PTFE coating ... spread it on, scrub, leave it for a couple of minutes, wash off. Puts a PTFE coating on the gelcoat to keep it from griming up again too fast.

Fishhawk x4D or smart troll.

30 or 40 lb Seagar Fluoro. Not sure why you are breaking off with 30 mono ... is the line old? Perhaps it's kinked from a wrap around the wire?

Sorry, should have clarified. Not trolling, but getting tackle out, rods down, etc.

I don't think the sail boat was trying to overtake. I heard the captain of the power boat wasn't looking and slammed into the sail boat. My guess is the autopilot was on, and the captain was busy attending to fishing lines, not paying attention.
