Is there any salmon or trout in this area this time of the year? I will be in Henderson Wed-Sun

I plan on taking the wife out for 3-4 days 5th-9th this week. How have the kings/steal head been biting? I was there July 10-11 and did very well but I haven't herd how the bite is recently.

Thank you sir.

I am bringing my wife out Aug 5th-9 to fish out of Henderson. I have a 20'6" Duckworth. I will be fishing for kings and Lakers mostly but I have always wanted to catch a walleye. We don't have them here in Maine. Are there many caught this time of the year? Thanks in advance

Kayaker, That was it. Thanks all fixed.

I think your right that does sound like the problem now that you mention it. And no I did not put tape or mono backing. My bad

I bought 4 of these new this year 2 for riggers and 2 for leadcore. The two i just recently got for rigger rods are giving me trouble. I loaded them with 50 lb braid and 15 lb Big Game for a leader. The first trip out I had almost no drag with one of them. Yesterday I had almost no drag with both and no clicker while they were creeping out line. So bad I could not begin to load the rods. I messed with them and had a slight improvement of maybe 1.5-2 lbs of drag max. I went into my shop this morning to remove the line and return the reels.But, this morning both reels seeded to work fine. I am planing a trip to Lake O in August. I will try them again but I dont want any issues returning these if I drag my feet. I also am concerned they may not work properly when I go on my trip. Have any of you had issues with new Accudepth reels? I did find a site that sells upgraded drag washers but I am reluctant to tear these new reels apart and chance voiding the warrentee

I know the kings run up the rivers in the fall attempting to spawn and I see there are organizations that strip fish of their eggs for the hatchery. But are there naturally spawning king salmon in Lake O or is it all supported by stocking?

I have had Navionics for years. The "Fishing Hot Spots" was what I was referring to. It explains what different areas are called. Like the "shipping lane, the wall" as well as other fishing areas.

Is there a fishing chart that shows these areas? We have them on the east coast for the ocean.

Also make sure the motor turns freely if not it will cause all kinds of issues.

If you real serious use only single hooks for starters.

I have 6 of there reels. The drags IMO are some of the best but on two of them the drags are not working at all. They have not been used in a few years is there something I can do to get them operating properly?

So I was thinking put one bait out say 20' off the ball then set the stacker out 10-15' hook up the Buds then let out 15-20' of line and stack that one just above the ball.The "Stacker" with BudsDiver without the weight should go out 10-15 feet out from the ball

Could they be used as a stacker on a rigger to get the top bait out away from the bottom bait while fishing bottom for lakers?

I am just wondering why I have not read or seen anyone use them considering they have been out for 6-7 years. How often do you use them and would you recommend trying 1-2?
