I worked at wilderness lodges on Kodiak, lived over much of coastal Alaska the past forty three years, seen incredible places,sights here in Alaska, yet Kodiak still stands apart! The rock! Emerald island! A world apart! No place even compares. Simple!😉👍
Nunya, I live here in coastal Alaska lived and fished Kodiak for silvers, you said baitcasting, you use of lures or roe? Either way, at least 8 1/2- 9 1/2 length, anywhere from 12-18 lb line, “just have your drag set smooth”!👍these silvers are fresh from the ocean and strong as hell! By the way, depending on where in Kodiak your going. This island has the largest silvers on average anywhere in the world! Bring extra shorts! Oh that’s not just from the silvers, big brows you will be fishing with, especially if your going off the road system! Only one.
NUNYA , Only lire you will need is a blue fox”vibrax “ lure size 5 or 6, orange, green, pink color, Crome blade! You fishing the rivers on Kodiak road, or floatplane in?
NUNYA , No leader needed, just a swivel, only downside about the vibrax lure is the shaft bends easy, the silvers hit so hard, so remember you have to keep straightening the shaft or it doesn’t spin right. You didn’t say if your fishing the road streams or floatplane drop off?
