Offshore IV

Had the same thing last night. Same thing. Couldn’t get a bite if I offered em money.

Nice sorry you can’t get on them. I went on oneida this morning and caught a limit of walleyes!

Right on. That beach is used for pleasure

Uugh man I hate them things

I have hit 70 with 250 out in my wire rod. Actually got hung up. I do not know how much further I could go. Surface speed was 2.7, but I don’t know the down speed. If it was under 2 down there, I think it could. Ive never heard of someone hooking a FH to their dipsey, that’s creative. for my spread, the mags are overkill but I see the appeal. My riggers are the deep runners, my dispseys are usually for 65 and 55. So for me particularly, I don’t need anything more.

Thanks. Needless to say we did not let the lamprey go quite as alive as he was when he came aboard 🤷‍♂️👍

I get confused when people say “sandy” and Braddocks together when there’s sandy pond too

Then that’s what my money is on. In the event that I don’t have eyes on my riggers 100% of the time, I’ll actually turn down the drag stiffness to sacrifice a large rod load up in the rigger for exactly this reason.

One more thing- when filleting that salmon, his fillets looked like a mid September fillet. Very deteriorated I thought. To note, he did have a large lamprey on him. What would cause this? Here’s my list of possibilities: 1.) he’s been in very shallow and warm water 2.) it’s the way they are this time of year 3.) he’s old as hell 4.) he prematurely wanted to spawn

Nice laker! How was the drag set on your rigger? If it was stiff, a screaming salmon could very easily wipe your whole set. What line broke? Mono, flouro? Another possibility is it crossed another taught line. When two lines under pressure cross, they will break extremely easy. Lake O claimed another set, sorry buddy ha been there and will again it happens

We only caught one more, 15” king lol but we slid in a bit on the troll back home and started hitting good marks at 80FOW down ~75

I haven’t used mags in a while. They’re very much so overkill to me. I use the regular ones with my wire rods

Thank you. I don’t know where the wave forecasters get their info, but there’s been 2-3’ waves all night. I’m waiting for it to settle down

Thanks. Surface is 63, I don’t have a FH.

147’ 110’ down, white meat rig on white flasher.

Thank you! I have one of those two things lol

Hey all, going out tonight from 4-dark. Will report my findings. Any pointers would help. Thanks.

My thoughts too. Good weekend to go up to the dacks on the new yak.

Sure. With the price of herring though, it can get expensive lol

The white meat rig/white flasher combo is, in my experience, the best salmon bait I have found. It outfishes everything else I have 2:1.

I’m kayak camping until Sunday 😎 fish are all yours!

Thanks guys. I noticed no one was really posting detailed reports out of Mexico though I know there’s been fishing happening. Hachimo I recommend starting at 55 if you go
