[bondouley]

does anyone run paddles and flies and or meat for staging kings in front of the pier heads or is it all j plugs and mag spoons?

Dave -As the season moves on it may pay to switch to the real bright colored larger paddles with active bright or glow spoons, J-plugs etc and try to provoke them because their feeding response is greatly reduced at this point. I also discovered in the past that they will hit the smaller paddles themselves rather than the lures when in this state and they have you scratching your head wondering why no hook up but with the large paddles it doesn't seem as frequent and they seem to target the lure better. Also running things closer to the ball than usual can be productive.

A mixed veggies warrior uv mag was my best last year. Right on the bottom.

Seems like they work better when a new slug of fish come in. Doesn't hurt to put one out there though!

Try those Moonshine flies with the big willow leaf spinner blade this time of year, too.  Anything to add more flash to aggravate them into striking.  Those fall fish always seem like they have way more fight in them, too!!  Ed Ball and I did really well a few years back with bright glow 8" paddles and meat rigs off the shallow riggers, too.  Good luck

do you run a green fly behind the red paddle or red to match the paddle?

[Albert16]

Yeah I run green glow flush and I've flys

You want a 8 inch stinger "hot tamale" echip with a green crinkle fly.

I fish out of my kayak and troll for salmon in 10-15 fow in front of tributaries and have done the best with floating stickbaits (rapalas and thundersticks)  that run to 10' max.   This year I am going to try to do some night trolling and planning on using some glow j-plugs and spoons flat- lining

[BoyNamedSue]

I did the flat lining at nighttime thing for a few years with one of those single pontoon boats. LOTS of fun. Made a few rod holders from PVC and rowed and rowed. Best night had 3 in just a few hours pulling spoons and j-plugs. No need to see your rod even when you hear the reel scream it's game on.

Made sure I had a good light as I certainly wasn't the only one out there.

almost the size of a paddle, see if you can get your hands on some 6.5" Big 'Ern spoons next time you are up in Canada. Bright colors like a fire tiger will work. Short wave tackle in Port Credit has some. Closest spoon to those are the Tomic 6" spoon and the Northport nailer super mag 5.5"
