  1. Hard product or something soft like SeaDek? I've done SeaDek, it's easy to install. But you have to get a template done of your boat. That's the hard part, outlining the deck, and then you send it in, for them to design it and finally cut it.
  2. Doesn't sound like non-sense to me. You could still run the outer riggers with dipseys out, as long as you swivel the booms to be closer to the boat. Otherwise, yeah, just use the back two. Other than what you said, I would rather be using leadcore in cold water. The fish are high, and copper could get too deep, even the 250. I'd save the copper for July/Aug.
  3. Exactly what I'm thinking, and then if you tie that small swivel, if you have a roller tip, you need to watch out for it, don't reel it right up, or you will ruin that rod. Plus, mono stretches, so you might have a problem popping dipseys if you need to retrieve that line ... although it won't be as bad as having 200 ft of it out. I'd not put on mono for those two very reasons, and just put braid. There's very few right ways, other than the right way.
  4. I always do that, I wash them in the river, try and get as much blood off as possible, and then they go into ziplock bags full of river water. But I'm still worried these skein eggs are going to be a problem. When I cured them with salt/sugar, they looked great, but I have a feeling when I defrost them ...
  5. Let me know if this works. I got some eggs still on skein, and I removed them and cured. Normally I cure loose eggs, so I'm worried these ones will be weak when I defrost them ... don't want it to go to waste.
  6. Yeah those Mahi Mahi make Chinook look like babies. We caught one about 15 lbs in Hawaii, was like a 25 lb salmon on steroids. I'd take that fishing over freshwater any day.
  7. +20 lb steelhead, +25 lb brown (they are getting fat on gobies), +35 lb king, +2L beer bottle.
  8. I prefer beginning of August. By mid august onwards, especially if it's hot, the salmon already slow down on eating, and may not be as active.
  9. I do strongly believe that criminals don't really care about any laws. That's why they break them, and are called criminals.
  10. I use braid, and yes it's to fill up the spool, then put a full spool of mono, then tie your lead.
  11. Yeah I've never seen that ... could it be eggs that are still developing? Maybe they are small and still developing?
  12. Are you referring to the black stuff all over it?
  13. I love my Raven 14.5', 3 piece. Awesome rod!
  14. Stacked kings, ready for a run up the river is what it looks like. They don't eat this time of year, you need to tick them off. Use irratic bait such as plugs, with bright colors. Speed 2.5 mph.
  15. I agree with this ... so far we've seen a nice initial run, and then most of those fish cooked when the weather got to 30'C on the weekend. I'd imagine with all this rain we are getting now, the remainder of salmon are running, and that will be good, except it's meant to go to 25'C this weekend again ... so for the stragglers, that won't be good. By the way, did they state WHY they want to cut stocks? Are they worried about the alewive population?
  16. Take the equipment off and sell it separately. You'll make more money. Don't package the equipment up in the boat sale, you'll lose.
  17. Star brite with PTFE coating ... spread it on, scrub, leave it for a couple of minutes, wash off. Puts a PTFE coating on the gelcoat to keep it from griming up again too fast.
  18. Fishhawk x4D or smart troll.
  19. 30 or 40 lb Seagar Fluoro. Not sure why you are breaking off with 30 mono ... is the line old? Perhaps it's kinked from a wrap around the wire?
  20. Sorry, should have clarified. Not trolling, but getting tackle out, rods down, etc.
  21. I don't think the sail boat was trying to overtake. I heard the captain of the power boat wasn't looking and slammed into the sail boat. My guess is the autopilot was on, and the captain was busy attending to fishing lines, not paying attention.
  22. I can't see any reason you would shorten the leader length for meat vs. flies. But this time of year is about getting salmon to strike out of aggression, so your setups should produce a more erratic pattern.
  23. Torpedo, smoke color, 7 strand 30# .... you can go 19 strand, more money ... but I think the 7 strand is good enough.
  24. Are you drifting, when you say you're not in forward gear? Or are you standing still speed over land?
