I’m sure many of us already know this, but I just want to share something that’s worked really well for me. Whenever I need to bring my line up whether it’s to check the bait or to wrap up fishing, I never reel in too quickly. Instead, I let the flasher rise to the surface first. Doing this gives fish hanging at different depths a chance to strike the lure or bait on the way up. It’s paid off for me several times, including just yesterday when I hooked a beautiful coho using this method.
Now back to the report.
