7" Anchovy

[777]

Anybody else fishing with these new XL 7" anchovy? Took a couple tweaks to get a roll i was ok with, but had a couple salmon in short order when it was otherwise really slow. It was enough to convince me to get a case.

7" anchovy. That sun went to my head.

well you could still try cut plugging a chovie, probably not been done in a while. Sorry 777, not trying to poke fun at you, but you never know, right? Kinda what fishing is all about

No, it might be worth a shot. These things are huge. I guess it's the first year they have had this size. 6 per package gets expensive for a sockeye year, though.

They are difficult to get/find. Blue herring seem to work as well.

I gave the guy that PM'd me a headstart. The Chevron at tillicum/hwy 1 have them, and by the case from blue water baits near shawnigan.

Only one way to find out.....

Cut it into a cutplug and send her down.........

I have done well with cut plug anchovies in the pass...

Put that in a Rhys Davis Bullet Roll or Krippled Head....and go slab hunting!!

Used them in a bloody nose anchovy special and ran out of bait after 5 fish on in a couple hours. It's been a while since I've filleted a 24 lb'r!

That is awesome.... I love the largest anchovy. I always use them for middle of july to aug for target big springs.

Caught 2 nice springers last weekend that had 8-9" pilchards in them, so your 7" anchovy is a little on the small side.....lol

Go big or go home !!!

Slab slump beats my all around salmon slump

We will get them soon Jeffy... they must be on their way down soon!

I have heard of limits coming out of Grant's this week, so it is only a matter of time.

Yeah I've been using small herring I dipped at work so far, about 3.5-5". They look small and I have to troll a lil faster to make em' roll the way I want, but they were doin 2/1 against the the Rhys Davis chovys I had running on the other side. Most guys would look at them and laugh because most of them are missing a lot of scales, but they keep catching, so I keep rolling them.
