    I agree. I use 12lb-14ln line on downriggers with spoons and 20lb flasher flies. I also use sunline, so it is the actual breaking strength. I was using big game but realized it all breaks at a much higher rate, so 20 is like 40lb. I do love divers and have 100 and 150 32lb copper set ups but only use if I have enough people in my boat. I am just out to have fun and catch fish.

    Hard to lean anything from a fish that has a meat rig, diver and 150 cable on him.

    If the fish were as big as they use to be I would be out 1-2 weeks of July again.

    I don't fish derbies unless it just aligns with being out there anyways. I love fishing. I was guide/tournament muskie angler for a while and realized making it business took away from the joy I experience on the water. I do however enjoy taking out new people and teaching them fish. Some of my fondest memories are Lake O with my late father and my Uncle, who I will be Salmon fishing with on a Lake Oahe in July. He is 86 and still gets after it on Lake Huron. I do hope they figure out the fishery. There is something about king salmon fishing when it could be a mid 30's to 40 lb fish. Sure MI and WI still get those fish ,but not like Lake O did. It wasn't just a needle in the haystack. Cranking in mid teens to mid twenties on 30-40 mono, that is just a different deal. I do also realize there are fleas now. It just seems quantity vs quality is the goal. I like giants. These tournaments in Lake O were based on the giants. You get giants, you get crowds again.

    I think people use crazy heavy equipment these days. I use 12-14lb on spools with light rods and 20lb on paddles. I know we caught kings to 42lbs in Lake O with 14lb line. It is super fun. All fishing is fun, but Salmon are super fun.

    You don't have the big fish of the past. We came every summer for 1-2 weeks, but the fishing in Lake O is not better than any other Great Lakes and the salmon are currently smaller.

    Thanks, I have tried them. I prefer the chinooks. In CO for trolling trout usually 11 mile. Super fun with Kokanee rods on the riggers and light rod set up with chinook divers. I go to Lake Oahe and Lake Michigan for salmon a few times a year.

    What sizes and settings for them. Thanks.

    Hi,I have had great luck with size 2 chinook for trout here in Colorado. The larger fish smash the divers. Any reason not to use the size 5's for salmon fishing? I would guess you can run 2 on side as well. thanks.

    Hi, I have been running two divers for trout on smaller lakes with success. I haven't ran them salmon fishing since I historically fish alone and can't run enough rods on those trips. I will have enough this summer and have 4 wire divers and 2 braid. how tight can you turn or do you need to make big sweeping turns? Just curious, I realize I will learn as I go, just won't get much practice and the ones I run for trout and much shallower. Thanks.

    Curoius what lbs people are setting their release to release at for salmon. Historically used Scotty's have some chamberlains and blacks to try out this year. Going to use my archery bow scale to set. Thanks.
