Size up an inch longer ...try cuttlefish hootchie..or next size up kijikki or full size brown turd hootchie, slow down a little and when hitting immature fish bring the riggers up at 30 foot intervals til you find mature fishAny tips or tricks to keep them off would be much appreciated.Their even hitting cut plugs and Anchovies.Other than regular plugs any other tips?
I always wondered if mature fish were higher or lower than the smaller guys in the water column.
Sometimes get into a bunch of shakers and don't know which way to go.
I have always found the opposite but I believe it is location dependent. The best way I have found is simply bigger lures/baits.I find the shakers and pipsqueeks are usually shallower.....but going deeper doesn't mean you wont avoid them totally.
Use larger plugs and go fastTry using larger hooks.
Greedy little buggers...
Do you filet or cut these into steaks?Greedy little buggers...
Good point, I noticed that today at T10 and Sandheads. I fish mostly in the Gulf Islands and Puget Sound, when the shakers school up there's always somewhere else to go. Move when you can.not sure about other areas in BC but thoes fishing the fraser river estuary will find it pretty hard to avoid the 8 inch chinook. From the Bell all the way down to sand heads I have ran into them.
