Actually very stable. Was a bit sporty this morning out there. Fun stuff!

I was in the 18 Bridgeview centre console, enjoying watching a legend in the making. Thanks for the show.

They make herring heads but I hate the roll on them.

Are you not using a teaser head then?

 

[Geoduck]

Orcas at T10 putting on a show

I guess they didnt get the memo about the SRKW zone?

 

[Tinny]

Finally got out!!! First Chinook in the boat since Halloween! Boxed two 12’ marbeled. Missed 2 pin poppers and a bunch of unders. Highlight was the Humpback at Mile Markes and then a huge Orca by Iona jetty. Can’t beat it.

Don’t even need a teaser for green label and above sized herring , rig them on cutplug leaders with a half hitch around the mouth to keep it bent , I like to pin the tail up with a toothpick down the spine from the tail end aswell . Learnt this up in haida gwaii years ago and haven’t fished a anchovy in years , very rarely fish a teaser head unless I’m fishing red label . This fishes well in areas with lots of current where you have blow out issues with cut plugs . Known as a “ wholly roller “

^ very similar to what I do

Thanks for that video. Very cool!!!

T10 today 7-10 on the Sea Doo. Naked G Force spoons (Glow Cop Car and Herring Aid) actually out fished the flasher for me. 2 nice ones in the box.View attachment 84620

Very cool that you can fish successfully in a Sea Doo for chinook in waters in that can be challenging at times. I’m thinking that you will inspire others to give this method a try. Was that you fishing Sandheads on Friday?

Yes, I was in the blue/white Sea Doo Fish Pro. There was a green one there also on Friday.

They’re very smart creatures. They heard it was a no fishing zone so they stay away…

Don't think we give them enough credit for how strong their bite is:

I had a ton of action this spring and summer on a golden AP spoon...the last 79 cm spring mid July actually unfolded the stock split ring I couldn't believe it...or at the very least, he finished the job his buddies' started.

Boom!

Neat.

Would like to try these one day, when fishing somewhere the salmon are eating full size herring:

Coincidence that it’s the same spoon?

Fack! I removed a few of those AP stainless split rings, they are tough.

would love T10 reports from today if anyone is out.

Was good first time out fishing here in my 16 foot lake boat one manual downrigger 3 fish in an hour lost my only canon ball so went home
Live and learn lol was lots of fun

 

[Releck]

I’m really not sure yet, it’s hard to get info from these top rods
But it involves stuffing herring into teaser heads,
Taping the crap out of them.

What does that do ?
