I like to double stack downriggers or tripple stack 20 ft apart in depth on the line. I go 30 ft setback for bottom rods 20 for middle and 10 for top rods
Thanks for all the info! Any tips for a kayak angler that can rarely troll below 80 feet due to limited weight on my downriver? Maybe jigging locations or shallower waters to troll? Thanks!
Thank you for all this valuable information! I took the family out to area 10 and finally brought home a beautiful chinook last weekend! Do you have a link for the ace fly you use for the resident coho? Had some success with spoons but would like to try the ace.
@@joshuawebb8576 yeah buddy, here you go! Throw a herring strip on this and you’ll be all set! johnssportinggoods.com/product/bait-lures/goldstar-ace-hi-fly/ace-hi-fly/goldstar-ace-hi-fly-uv-needlefish-purple-haze-312/
Excellent information! I do have a clarification question on the gear placement. John mentions that both are at the same 25 feet off the downrigger. Does that hold for depth as well? meaning, both downriggers are at the same depth, and the same 25'?
@@DanKellermortgagezero chance I’m fishing the exact same depths on both sides unless I’ve already got multiple fish in the boat. Allowed 1 king per angler, no reason to fish same exact depths.
I do better when there’s less people. Social media has ruined salmon fishing in the sound especially at the bubble averaging 100-200 boats on the weekends with maybe 1 fish for every 50 boats. One FB post ruins it all.
So if we both catch fish and have success, does it bother you that more and more people are showing up and reducing your chances because of all the posts and people bragging their catch in a certain area. Because it doesn’t help. Just making fishing more complicated and not as fun because of all the people.
If your hook doesn’t stick to your fingernail, switch it. Salt water eats the hook! I’d rather spend 75 cents for a new hook than lose a fish. But u will spend $30 for gas each day and not put new hooks on?
