Town of Seward has a accessible small tributary on the opposite side of the bay from town. You can wade out into the water and cast vibrax spinners (orange treble dressing) or Cleos for pinks and silvers. Go down in the evening. All along the coast the tribs are loaded with salmon, dolly varden and grayling. Don’t fish the tribs near towns. Park you car and hike upstream to find water to yourself. Gear to bring is a spinning rod for hucking lures, a fly rod, streamers,egg patterns, and dry flies for grayling and white fish. You can catch Sole off the mouths of tribs by fishing skein chunks on bottom rigs. Make sure you check regs. Every stream has individual regs. Some are closed.

If you keep your fish, a fish hawk will pay for itself in two seasons with gas savings.

Fluorocarbon just called ..........and it wants you to use it appropriately.

I have tried trolling with a cat’s asz and the little bugger would hang onto the swim platform for a little while then just give up. I will stick with my discontinued Subtroll.

PM Jerry Felluca on this site. He traditionally has run two probes at the same time (subtroll and Fishhawk) and probably has the differential. I have a subtroll and have noticed that my buddies fishhawk shows a faster speed. When comparing spoon action at the boat, 2.25 mph subtroll seems like 2.7 mph fishhawk. The difference could be calibration testing between units during fabrication or perhaps the units are not measuring the same thing knots-per-hour vs miles-per-hour? In the end you fall back on the speed that works for reproducibility so you need to adjust your view to your new view on speed shown on the fishhawk.

Does the infamous Gary rig use crimps?

Gambler is correct about placement. Lakers are notorious followers so you don’t want to pull them away from other opportunities with trailing baits. This uses an assumption that fish see up better than down based on eye position. I did an article in GLA a few years back titled “layered for lakers” that chronicles a technique I was using on Ontario. First rod forward was the deepest with a 2 lb thumper and cowbells. Next rod was a dodger/fly on rigger, just off the bottom with a long set back to stay out of the thumper. To figure out how long a setback you use via A2 + B2 = C2 ( I know ....sorry it’s math) whereby A2= depth of water and C2 = amount of line out on thumper. B2 is what you need to solve for rigger setback. Next bait forward is just above that with mag dipsy on one side and then just behind that rig is standard dipsy on opposite side. You can add more layers with junk lines out back or boards. I can run additional thumpers off my otter boats with fixed aftco roller releases. The idea is to present as many opportunities for a fish to have a bait in its face while trailing behind your spread. Of course you could just jig for them LOL.

Underwater footage looks no different than standard jig.
