Under water salmon strikes

[Get The Net]

These were recorded with a Water Wolf Camera.  10 ft off the ball 80-90 ft down.

Nice footage and nice action on the lure too One of the things I have been interested for a while now in the underwater footage is how nearly always the  salmon come from underneath the spoons or pretty much straight on from the back. When flasher/fly or spinney /fly are used the fish are forced to go laterally or sideways to get the lure and they frequently seem to have a more difficult time catching it going horizontally and that seems to jive with my own experience of the "hit and runs" on the FF or Spinney combos.  I tie my own trolling flies and I have purposely made them a bit heavier in the head to slow them down without having much effect on the attractor itself to see if this helps with hookups.So far the results are inconclusive but I also use different materials for the fly itself so that could mess with results too but since I am catching with them I am reluctant to change for the sake of experimenting

Nice footage, I've been sinking my GoPro down on the rigger ball as well.  It's always very cool to see what goes on down there.
