Went out today and had to break through the ice from the boat launch. Was going to go to Tunstall or the falls but the waves were snotty so we’re stayed in the freighters with a handful of other boats. A few shakers and no nets seen out. Decided to go in tight, at almost the most east freighter and landed one in 90 FOW with 95’ on the rigger.

Hello all, Follow-up from start of year: As it turns out, the Pro-troll & Swarm dummy flasher combination, worked really well all year, in spite of really short season , managed to get enough fish to fill the big home-built built convection smoker, Below is a video link of day when I played guide and took 4 new Salmon fisherman out> Putting them all into a nice fish each and small one or 2 keepers as well.. All 4 went home with trophies to brag about. One sent me this video, as I was piloting and working the gear. Really made me happy to give new fishermen the "rush" of playin a big smiley in and was fun to watch their arms get tired, In the video you can see Pro troll Herring rigs,( we found glow chartreuse was most effective ) and dummy flasher Swarm. 2.4 mph or sometime slower and speed up back to 2.4 was the ticket, all depths tons hits all year. and wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and happy new year:

Oh and the Led flashers turned out to be useless gimmick, . regular ones lemon lime guide series or etc. you all use and show here, (thanks for sharing) or chartreuse ones still best.Hello all, Follow-up from start of year: As it turns out, the Pro-troll & Swarm dummy flasher combination, worked really well all year, in spite of really short season , managed to get enough fish to fill the big home-built built convection smoker, Below is a video link of day when I played guide and took 4 new Salmon fisherman out> Putting them all into a nice fish each and small one or 2 keepers as well..

Not a huge fish for sure but a nice red. I was surprised to get one so far east. Pretty new to the salt scene so not sure if this is normal this time of year? It was rocky point and the launch was good but the water was frozen solid from there to Reed point marina.

Fished the bell buoy yesterday from 11am - 1 pm and had some luck right at the buoy in ~140’. One just undersized (released) and one into the slot plus a few more shakers. Both beautiful fresh fish with purple backs.
Usual program: glow flashers and tackle, one spoon, one hootchie, both caught fish, riggers very close to bottom.

Unless they find a way to take even more away from us
If they take the sockeye away from us in 2022 I will need to find a new use for my cannonballs.

Maybe catapulting them at your nearest DFO office? Yes, yes, yes, I know Admin, but it’s Christmas Eve and I’m a having a wee bit of wine and it was too good to pass up.
