    +20 lb steelhead, +25 lb brown (they are getting fat on gobies), +35 lb king, +2L beer bottle.

    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?
  15. TyeeTanic
    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.

    I can't see any reason you would shorten the leader length for meat vs. flies. But this time of year is about getting salmon to strike out of aggression, so your setups should produce a more erratic pattern.

    Torpedo, smoke color, 7 strand 30# .... you can go 19 strand, more money ... but I think the 7 strand is good enough.

    Are you drifting, when you say you're not in forward gear? Or are you standing still speed over land?

    This knot, except you can make it simpler by tying the overhand knot in step 4 FIRST, leave that overhand about 1 inch from the end of the doubled line, then put your swivel through. http://njsaltwaterfisherman.com/forums/index.php?topic=15015.0

    Flashers with meat is the most common setup.

    Well, North Shore gets tough ... staging salmon are not the easiest to catch. I'd much rather pick end of July to fish than September, that's for sure.
  23. TyeeTanic
    Kings in August and particularly September? I wouldn't waste my time ... September they are well into staging, have stopped eating and some have even started running up rivers. This starts mid August. The best time of the year to fish them is end July in my opinion. Anyhow, if you do go in August, try going earlier rather than later. The bite changes from one of appetite, to one of aggression that time of year ... and so normally we switch up to bright colors red/orange/purple ... even start going to erratic baits like lymans, j-plugs, reer runners, etc. Staging salmon normally move to shallower water, but sit right at the bottom, so you need to troll with your lines about 10' off the bottom.

    I've had okay success with them. I've caught some big salmon with them, but they probably only take 10% of the fish, if not less. Sometimes it's flies, spoons or real meat. Anyhow, we always try them at least for some time ... Size is important ... the larger ones seem to do better. Color is MORE important. The one Bosun Cowboy shows is a great one. There's two similar ones, one is green with black dots and the other is the same silver as he shows with black dots.

    I assume you are fishing lake Ontario. If so, look at this site, find out how deep you need to go to get in some 42 to 44F water. Set hooks anywhere from 42F to 52F. https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/res/glcfs/glcfs.php?lake=o&ext=vwt&type=N&hr=06
