Thinking about hitting up one of the bays tmrw morn and set up a 4 rod spread to troll sticks. Now my question is what the typical patterns are. I'm assuming 10 to 20 ft of water over weed beds? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
With these fishing commercials I wonder if the fish they show were even hooked. Or if they had them in a tank and just hung the lure from their mouth when they presented them. Theyre always hooked perfectly right in the corner. Something tells me otherwise. Haha
In regards to King Davy's post on page 3 I also agree that Steelhead are much more respected than say the Kings and Browns. Ive fished these tribs for close to 5 years now and I cant remember more than 2 times Ive seen the steelhead abused opposed to the kings and Browns which as we all know occurs everytime we go out in those early fall months. In my experience obviously the kings are snagged the most but the browns come in second I believe is obviously due to the closeness of the runs. As a tributary fish however steelhead are obviously the crown jewel but when it comes to boat fishing everyone wants their hands on a screaming dispsy rod.
Now i would like to see a comeback of the Atlantics but not at the expense of the Kings. Besides many charter captains lean on the kings to fill their boats with clients and with this being a future dream of mine I dont want to see them take a backseat either. They are simply the most powerful bully on the lake and the 300+ foot runs are mind boggling to new fisherman. But as a taxpayer if this is a lost cause and truly dead money i say its not worth it to make a giant deal out of it. Just keep it where its at now and dont expand.
This is true. My buddy's father had his boat out cruising around and hung up on a boulder. Luckily he was just doing about 5 mph watching the bald eagles in the trees.
i used to stack. hated it. Lower rig fires and gotta start all over. Perhaps try running 3 riggers with one either ran down the middle or angled towards the middle.
