Fishing down deep

[stillfishing]

Do a lot of you guys fish your riggers deep to get temperature that you need. I generally don't fish passed 100 on righers. I've been reading a lot of people fish deep to get big kings.

Who made the rule you can't go below 100'? Fish where the fish are!

Fish the fish not the temp. If you see them 150 down you can catch them there. Keep in mind you might not have to go that deep to catch them. Kings will travel tremendous distances for the right bait at the right speed.

Many times my riggers are at 110 plus. Like Paul said fish where the the fish are. If your marking big hooks down 140 drop em down and hold on. Same with dipseys. I've had them out 400 plus before on a 1.5 setting and caught fish

Below is a post from last year. As you can see by the marks on the screen and my rigger numbers fish were well below 100'.  Its always worth a shot of throwing at least one rig down there to see what happens and if it fires send em all down ......

Fished right out front by myself. Started in 300 and worked out to 450. Best screen was around 340 range. Temps were deep (60.2 down 150 over 300 FOW) ended up taking a rip on a 425 diver / 1 setting pulling double green crush paddle with whole bait - came unbuttoned. Next shot was on a 450 diver / 1.5 setting w/Gator spin Dr + big fin glow. 16lb King. worked that area for a couple more hours and took just one more short hit on a dipsy. Pointed toward port and screen lit up in 240 FOW.  As soon as i saw the screen i said theres no way a rod isnt going to fire. I looked at the rods and rigger one fires pulling a green frog paddle green whole bait rig down 170, i grabbed the rod and rigger 2 fires pulling a UV 2 face echip / cut bait rig down 147, so i left one rod in the rod holder and was working both fish the best i could 45 seconds the wire dispy out 405 starts screaming. a triple and im by myself. Alot of Oh Sh#@s later and i was able to bring two to the net. Gotta love late summer/fall salmon fishing.
