  1. I agree 100% Killians. The key word being "targeting" them.
  2. Bait is piled up just east of the bar- hooks a plenty but I can't get them to fire. We are catching alewives on our sliders constantly. Running 2 inline flats for coho and the lakers are hitting them-
  3. I won't argue that but Lake trout are like getting a sweater for Christmas - sure it's a gift but not what you want.
  4. fish face- are the 10 kings mature? If so you the man- I ran to escape the juveniles- no sense in killing our future fish. I'm so sick of catching lakers!! The fishing for me has gotten worse as the week progressed
  5. I'm out now- been working 80-100' east and west of Wilson - tons of lakers - 1 for 3 on kings.
  6. Saturday 5-7. Another tough day of fishing. All lakers no salmon. Best part of the day was watching the WHI boats take off after the shotgun start- pretty cool. Back at it Wednesday- hopefully the blow tonight into tomorrow stirs some things up and the fishing changes. Talked to some WHI guys at the launch at the end of the day and it doesn't sound like many got into the Kings heavy- only a few teams with 6 salmon to weigh - so I was told
  7. Fished from 60' to 250' and could not get a decent program going. Took some lakers (hard not too) a couple coho and one King around 12#. Every fish came off a different lure. Lots of boats and most seemed to be searching like I was. Be back out in the morning- hope to have a better day-
  8. . Thanks Brandon- just a matter of weeding through countless slime dogs to find silvers. Looking forward to heading your way soon to beat on those eyes- I'll be in touch
  9. Thanks for the report King slammin-Bum deal on that king!! I hear you about the lakers ( we are so spoiled here!) I would have traded going to work today for another day of slimers if I had a choice though. I'm fishing 8 of 10 days of the LOC out of Wilson ( weather permitting) and will post-
  10. Just tie the end off to the reel handle or reel seat with a loop- they will give you instructions on how they like them shipped when you talk to them- it's not a issue
  11. . Zebra mussels and quagga mussels are here to stay. I do a lot of zebra mussel sampling for various industries and utilities. Any reduction methods are only temporary. The only sure method that keeps them out of any body of water is low calcium levels in the water. This makes it impossible for them to mature into a adult and grow a shell and reproduce.I have been sampling the NYC drinking water reservoir systems for 20+ years. The calcium is why they are not in that system..... Yet. Most but not all are calcium deficient. Also we have found mussels in perch and sheepshead while doing stomach analysis studies.
  12. Good stuff Killians- I'm sure we will cross paths at Wilson sooner than later- Good fishing
  13. King- did it for my first time ever yesterday with a guy who does it often - get Emeralds and some rigs and go to the boats. It's pretty simple, had a blast.
  14. Thanks- it was a surprise when it took off screaming- just 2 of us and we were each fighting a laker when it went off. Killian- that casting sounds like some fun with light line. What were you casting?
  15. Went out late this morning for the first trip of the year. Was planning on brown fishing but I forgot the graph ( IDIOT!!) went out to what I figured was around 60 ' and pounded the lake trout. At high noon the 57' rigger took off screaming with our first king of the year on a dream weaver thriller. -Hope it's a sign of a good year to come.Lamprey marks aplenty on the lakers.
  16. Always a encyclopedia of knowledge- Thanks again sk8man- this is why this site is so awesome
  17. Sk8man- I was always curious if a single hook would effect spoon action- I would assume not by your response. I run mag honeybees on occasion and hookups on the single hook lead to very little loses and makes C and R more successful in my opinion- Thanks
  18. That's what I was looking for- a model number -Thank you Jammer
