Over 300 reads and only 2 smart butt replies. Lol. I hear the current edition of B.C Outdoors has a good article on catching Sockeye at mouth of the Fraser...

Haha.....as to your questions in the original post.....yes....and yes with stacked rods.

We use inline flashers attached to a down rigger clip. Easy to maintain while the rods are popping.

Got some Daisy Chain's from Derby which we'll run off the ball with the inlines at various depths on the down rigger cable. It'll look like a disco dance party down there with all the flash.

And pink plastic will be the colour of choice for the squirt Hoochies.

Please excuse my ignorance. Lol. What are in line flashers and Daisy Chains?

 

[Bent-Tip]

Lol is right.... Nikka has both

Daisy chain....a series of small flashers in a chain.

Inline flasher.....small triangular flasher. Doesn't have the big roll of normal blade flashers.

These are set up as dummy flashers.

Hey Dennis, go get some konezone set ups, run one off each rigger ball, stack a rod 8 or 10 feet above it and then a rod ten feet above theses. Troll slow with flashers red glo green glo armed with pink squirts of some kind and get ready for the fun to begin. I can't wait

You guys are wealth of info. Thanx for the replies. Are you using hotspot flashers with the pink squirts? Is Nikka in Richmond the go to store for this type of gear?

 

[CIVANO]

tie together 5 or 6 old cd's with twine and a swivel between them edge to edge. attach to downrigger ball. Cheap and works. Keep the daisy chain or this in the water and keep moving slow even landing a fish. The sockeye will keep following.

local tackle shops have everything you need

 

[Bifmalibu]

Best bet I've found is to troll very slowly. I use the mini's http://www.sportco.com/store/pc/catalog/pinksquid3sizes_470_general.jpg

Jeez Pip I thought you were gonna jump outta the screen.
Drag a dummy or two stack it up... Done.
Kobe zone ain't worth the price IMHO.
Always have filled the boat.

wasn't a smart butt reply, I was serious.
small pink hootchies and lots of flash a couple hotspots tied inline approx. 8'-10' off the ball, stack some up the rigger line too between rods
I only run 4 rods, all I can handle at the same time

Dummy Flashers

Hootchies don't have to be Pink-Glo and/or Green works well too-the one as shown has a particularly ****** hook.

If you think you're going a bit fast throw out a bucket or even two-you catch fish @ all speeds but catch more going dead slow.
