First up was allen and nabbed a 18 lb femall that gave him quite a fight... His first salmon ever! He was beside himself! then we too a 14lb male and then a few small ones that barely popped the releases, when it happened. The right wire out 250 with a 4 1/8 dipsey with a greensilver dodger went off like a rocket! After a battle the fish doubled back and go the the line aroune the dipsey and broke off... it was the biggest so far but then that right rod kept going off!! two more line screamers got away!! one bit through the fly leader and the other straightened out the treble hook! UGH but I felt good that at least we were going it right to have such luck! Thank you for all who gave such greeat advive on "how too" and helped make it such a great day! Ill download the photos tonight.. allen's face is priceless.. hot lure was a green outer gold inner fly with a touch of black mixed in witht he green... hot colors were the green and silver spin dr and dodger Again THANK YOU to all who threw their two cents/info in to help get my dream of trolling for salmon out on the big O going and becomming successfull!! Without you guys it would never have been. It really was so fun to get out their and get some! NOW I have got to try and get one of thorse big slobs to the boat! Mark

I finally made it out there and scored a few salmon but the biggest was only 17 lbs. I got some info that maybe I was running things wrong. So I switched to 6-8 feet of line from the dipsy to the flasher/spindr and then 22-24inches from the flasher/dr to the fly. I was running then 2-3 feet from the dipsy to the flasher. I also was using the #3 dipsy on setting of 2-2.5 and anywhere from 150-240 feet back. I have the magnums too but am wondering if thats the size everybody is using... is a smaller diver better? I am also running 30lb wire on these rods. i did pull a diver up and had friggin zebra muscles on it! Also is the color of diver matter? havent heard about anyone talking about that. wondering if it was too much flash for such a sunny day. Any thoughts would be helpfull... and is the distance from the flasher to a spoon matter? Im new so don't know, but am taking my buddy's dad out soon and he's kinda like a dad to me and want to get it right and have him have more than just a boat ride. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! And is it still 10 feet off the ball for flashers or spin dr? I was trying everything but at somepoint when everybody is catching 27 #'s and your not, ya just gotta ask!

ugh my computer is not opening up the pics!!!

Dude! So Im checkin out the daily reports, drooling over the pics of fish and wishing my trailer was ready, and I see your pics....

LOL I work with her and it looks like you two had a nice day despite the am troubles... well Im sure I get to meet you sometime and glad you had some good action with the kings! Im just getting started trolling and there is so much to learn. Im sure Ill figure it out right when they are already up in the creeks! Have a great day and good fishing! Mark
