The DW Action Stacker works real well. It's a snap with a notch in the rubber covering. Just hook on the line at the notch. Very simple.

Way to go! You can't beat that price.

Mostly trolling tackle but yes he was starting to. Had some nice centerpin rods and reels. Here's Jons Facebook URL https://www.facebook.com/Route-18-Tackle-108961801779196/ .

Great supply, great advice, great price. I just bought a Cannon Mag 5 from Bass Pro for $469.99 , I find out now Jon had it for $439.99. A pre-Biden deal. A great store!

Sorry for your bad luck Fishnut. I hit a submerged log out of the Oak at high RPM about four or five years ago. It was after one of those deluges with lots of debris in the water. The engine had a clunk clunk sound to it. Luckily it was only the prop and that was repaired by Ernst. Hope the repair news is good at the marina.

Fishing Monday at the Oak, almost hit for the cycle except for an Atlantic. Did catch a 7 lb brown off the pump station at 160 ft on a Seneca Special with the green/gold fly down 65 ft. Not targeting Browns. This combo also took a mature King. Cohos caught on 42nd mag spoon. Steelhead on a Reg NBK. Magic depth was 65 to 75. Dipsies at 180. Lost KIng when level wind broke on Daiwa 47LC.

Yes a small world it is. I usually try to have one meat rig on through out the year. For meat, Familiar Bite or the Dream Weaver variety work well. Just a rule of thumb it seems that the bigger salmon like the meat better. Try to have the flasher match the twinkie/teaser and the meat head. ATOMIK makes great rigs. If I'm just using meat I usually troll at 2 MPH. Check out the rig. Drop it in the water and have it do a slow revolve. Not a spin. (Sort of what you want a surgical eel to look like in the Chesapeake.) About 1 to 1 1/2 rolls per second. There's a bunch of YouTube videos available. Feel free to PM me any time you want.

Retired AF here. Had the Coast Guard out of St Inigoes Creek rescue me one night out in the bay when I spun a hub. Had friends at Pax and especially when they moved NAVAIR out of the Pentagon. Have a great trip!

Yeah Understand. I come up from Va. Have a cabin and boat at Oak Orchard now. Oswego and Pulaski were favorite haunts in the past. The power plant is actually west of Wrights. Only about a 1/2 mile or so. It just offers a nice protected place that is very productive when the run is on. It's kind of exciting when the salmon are porposing. Another favorite route is to troll along break water, head towards the river, turn right at the river and go under the main bridge and then reverse the course all the way back up to the Turnaround. Larry's Tackle is right in the town by the river. I would always get the local reports from the anglers at Wright's or go to the charters at Oswego Marina. (Incidentally one of those charters used to advertise the world record Silver Salmon at 33 lb 7 oz. caught off Oswego.) Also offshore around 100 ft up to the Nine Mile plant is another good opportunity. Good chance for browns there also. I just saw you are at St Inigoes MD. I've been fishing the Chesapeake for 50 years. Keep my boat at Buzz's. Before that Drury's. Going to do some cobia and spanish mackerel fishing later in July. Good luck to you Dane.

At Salmon River or Little Salmon River, #4 J Plugs or Flashers with Meat. If in Oswego and you have a small boat go to the Turnaround (by the power plant) and just troll the tight channel to the left of Wright's with jointed flatfish. That time of year the Salmon can be thick. It can make for great action with green Salmon.
