Ok Dumb question.. Have you ever seen a flying boat out on the salt chuck?

X2. The battle of the East Coast fishing tales arrggg! Have you ever been to sea Billy. Ha ha.

Oh it's all in good fun.

Sorry I have never seen the flying Zodiak thing. Looks cool though. This is the closest I've seen to a flying boat.

That looks uh like he's unaware about how far in the air he really is. Good pic Sculpin.
I wonder if the landing near threw him over the bow?

I've got a camera now for this week, so all the crab faces can shut the doors on their traps

Hoping to hit the Water by Wed through Sunday.

I just found that photo on the black and red site. I think the thread is called "How to fly your Parker".

Dumb question. On a recent trip to Renfrew, I got 1 salmon on one side of the boat and 9 salmon on the other, often with identical setups and same depths. The side that caught the fish had stainless line and a black box while the other side had the newer synthetic line. I previously replaced the stainless as I was having much the same problem before and it seemed to even out when I made the change. The only other factor is the setup not catching fish is the port side and that is the side the kicker is located on. Given we are fishing in 35 feet of water, give or take, that might be a problem but the other line is only 7 or 8 feet away. Anyone have any suggestions?

You might think they were identical settle but maybe one flasher had more twist in it or a slightly longer leader or maybe one of your swivels is worn so that it doesn't spin right. Who knows. I have the same problem when I icefish sometimes. Same depth,same lure, same bait and the holes are only a foot apart and someone usually outfishes the other.

I too notice when fishing usually one side will catch more fish but it's not always the same side. I usually differentiate my depths only by about ten feet, and lately have been running the same color flasher with two diff hoochies, or else the same anchovie set up, but it could likely be anything from as mentioned the swivel to just a slight difference in the flasher?. It could be just sheer luck too, but I find that a bit hard to believe especially on hot days when there's multiple fish to one side. I run the same rigger cables both sides, no black box. I try and run the exact same leader lengths ... I don't know how much really is science, and how much is just having the hook in the right spot at the right time, but perhaps it's as simple as just having one side of the boat closer to the holding ledge.

Either way next time I'm out I should try biting the head off a herring, and have a woman pee on the net.. Others swear by that stuff!

Normally I use different setups on the boat in order to dial into what the fish are biting that day. We repeatedly got strikes on the starboard side so, in desperation, switched over to identical setups but that did not work either. The big difference is the side catching fish was a pancake with rudder and the other side was a cannonball. Has anyone ever heard of that making a difference? I could not even get the Kone Zone to work and, in my boat, that is unheard of.
