A tackle store over the border on the cdn. side just hung out some kingfisher /oke "golden retriever"flashers for sale......these things were like finding hens teeth a year ago ...

In the early eighties the salmon hunt contest was born in Ontario. A gentleman by the name of Dan Tomey, who owned the ontario out of doors magazine put the whole contest together..if you caught a coho it was worth 1 1/2 times its weight against a king..... fish over 40# were not uncommon..one of the first year or so of running a man and his wife in a small aluminum boat caught and netted a whopping 46+ off the mouth of the credit river..(i intend to resarch this further).im now 74 and remember us all thinking we may just one day catch one over 50..alas it never came to be...i still have a derby ticket for a 33#fish 1984, that never even got to the board. had to be 36/38 to get there...

i did this same setup with a 21ft Grady several years ago..and yes it did work.minus the marine radio...but the battery was always charged whilst running in on the main motor ,or charged up overnight ,whilst dockside....

what i do know..i almost always now run a pair of copper spoons in the spread ..these produce low and close to bottom...tip. dirtier the better .do not polish them! .. good topic!

i would take those ,but could not pick up for at least a week..would that work,with a deposit?

very informative..thanks for sharing
